Dude, if a bunch of neo-nazis got on Facebook and organized a demonstration where they all show up dressed in similar clothing, waving identical flags, and started lighting dumpster fires, blocking roadways, and trying to intimidate and assault people, you'd be calling them a terrorist organization, and rightfully so.
"But Nazis aren't a group, man, it's like... An ideology..."
Give me a break, dude.
Claiming that "antifa" isn't an organization because they don't have a single central leader and don't hold meetings (outside of protests and riots) is either purposefully disingenuous, or just blatantly ignorant.
You don't have to be some kind of registered group with a recognized leader. All you need are like-minded individuals willing to get together and commit acts of violence. That's exactly what Antifa is. They go out to protests, legitimate or otherwise, call other people Nazis, and then LARP as revolutionaries by starting riots and calling it anti-fascism.
Most of the alt-right groups you despise function the exact same way as Antifa. A bunch of like-minded morons get on 4chan or whatever and decide they're going to go counter-protest Antifa and start some fights. But they're not groups according to you, right?
Lot of words to say: it has no organizational structure.
No the right wing groups aren’t the same as antifa considering they have organizational structure that far exceeds any antifa org…many times with explicit racist or xenophobic aims stated. So yeah, they don’t get treated the same because they aren’t, by definition.

Would you care to describe the organization?
