120. Similarly, there's not organization could "alt right."

There are numerous Facebook groups, for instance, that refer to themselves as "antifa" and serve as hubs of organizing against fascists.

They're calling upon the imagery of the anti-Nazi German group Anti-Fascist Action.

Is there a single, official group called "Antifa?" No, there is not.

I do think there is such an entity as "antifa" - at least in my area.
