Overall opinion on this:

Right wing radical groups can be violent, but the violence in their ideologically usually (usually) comes when they get political installation. The roadblock for these groups is gaining power to begin with, something they clearly will never achieve when you look at their lack of support.

ANTIFA can look good next to them, but ANTIFA defaults to revolutionary-type violence from the get go. This can be demonstrated time and time again since at least Trump's inauguration: They're violent, they destroy property, and they beat people who don't even fit the description of "Fascist".

I think the classification of "Terrorist" organization towards ANTIFA is more justified than doing it to the KKK since the KKK generally have non-violent rallies while pretty much every instance of ANTIFA attending something has broken out into varying scales of violence that's clearly at least partly on them.

There are exceptions to this (see the righties going crazy with violence at Charlottesville) but generally speaking ANTIFA are more openly disruptive in terms of beatings and monetary cost and have been for several months.

I think you could have a reasonable discussion on the KKK/Neo Nazi groups being labelled as terrorists (I think they should be classified as such) due to their violent rhetoric but in terms of actual focus and resource allocation ANTIFA is more of a realistic threat.

Basically: I think the right wing groups should be labelled as terroristic too due to their divisive and dangerous rhetoric but ANTIFA has similarly violent rhetoric and actively engages in unjustified beatings and property damage on a regular basis.
