It is true that right-wing provocateurs stoked violence last year.

Neither that, nor the essential non-existence of any formal organization answering to political descriptions of 'antifa', proves your point, that 'black bloc' elements have from their inception been Republican operatives.

That one you are going to have to prove, and absent such proof, your claim is of the same class as Lin Wood announcing it was 'antifa' pretending to be Trump supporters at the Capitol last year.
