In this case, they are on the right side by being against fascism in its many forms. But the violent aspect of it is simply wrong.
You are to a certain extent allowing yourself to be riled up against them by the same fascist, neo-Nazi forces they are against and we (all of us) should also be against by not keeping a balanced perspective of who they are relative to who they are against.
The balance here is to be against violence, but understand that what they are fighting against is itself wrong. So those groups that are the targets of their violence deserve no sympathy in that they have done - to this point - a good deal worse.
But antifa is on the wrong path by embracing violence. As I said, they will become what they are against. There is no way to avoid it if a group embraces violent tactics.
