#3 ....alt-left can be traced back to 1980s Minnesota. It was during this time that the group "Anti-Racist Action" sprung up around the Twin Cities to combat the rise of local Nazi skinheads. A.R.A., as the group became known.

Strange, I don't remember a thing about 'Antifa' or anything closely related during the period mentioned.

#4 Alt-left traces back to 19th century anarchists/nihilists - the left will be sorry for promoting and encouraging them.

#5 To paraphrase Lazarus Long "I don't need to understand how Antifa minds work..."

#6 When naming your group name it after one of the distant past that was pure of motive so you can claim direct lineage and brush over the dirty reality that most Antifa were Anarchists, and Occupy Wallstreet, and Black Lives Matter until recently.

#8 naming is big deal and disguising your actual program is important

Planned Parenthood disguises its pro abortion agenda
Jewish Voice for Peace is actually in favor of genocide of Israel
Clinton Global Foundation had an influence peddling agenga

the list goes on
