But that distinction is rather the point in many of these conversations. Joe Biden is frequently mocked for having noted that Antifa was "an idea," not an organization in the 2020 presidential debates - as with the Turley quote that moved the thread in this direction. But as you seem to recognize, that position is correct.

Joe Biden was equally loath to say anything bad about "Antifa" as Trump was to say anything bad about the Proud Boys. If Antifa is an idea, it seems to be the idea of roaming the streets beating people up (like putting them in the hospital beating them up) and burning courthouses and police stations. Why would Joe Biden not want to say something about an "idea" that bad?

And don't give me that stupidity about "Antifa, anti-fascist, see? They're the good guys!" I read 1984 and it is not a primer. The Ministry of Truth was not what it said it was.

I don't care how well organized they are. I'd like to see them arrested when they do that stuff no matter what you call them.
