Why do they put it down as "ANTIFA"?

"It doesn't stand for anti-fascism, it can't stand for anti-fascism, they are the REAL fascists... for some reason, no, not the guys with the Nazi and Confederate flags... them. Ah-ha! It has to be an acronym of some sort, all the nefarious organizations use them... SMERSH, M.A.D. (From Inspector Gadget), NIMH..."
