some anarcho-communist elements in ANTIFA who have used that movement as an excuse to cause some general mayhem. They aren't only interested in fighting fascism as they are bringing down capitalism and democracy as well.

They're probably there because they like setting banks on fire and fighting cops.

There are also right wing elements in these groups who are there to start trouble because they know it will turn public sentiment against the protesters.
