I'm not sure if they meet the requirements for being a terrorist group or if I agree with them being considered terrorists, but I just want to point out the name of the organisation isn't a valid argument in favour of them, the actions of the organisation matter a lot more than the name, for example on many occasions they've used violence to prevent people from political speech (is that antifascism or fascism?)

It's not an organization, it's a grass roots movement.

However, I agree with you in a sense, in that movements with names are inherently vulnerable to cooptation and suppression.
