Bolded:I think we should stop misnaming them as anti-fascists,it is not what they do but only what they claim to do.

I'm sure they have people with good intentions and people that are misleaded in almost religious ways,like any destructive group.

Then we should first stop grouping everybody who wears black and shows up to a protest as Anti-Fa.  There is no centralized organization.  No membership.  No leadership.

I dont follow the news really on this subject but have the protests amounted to a substantial change in our society yet?
or its forgotten within the next month like this is occupy2.0

Quite a lot of change already and more in the pipeline.

Confederate statues and other symbols of glorification (Confederate battle flag) are being removed from public and private spaces and institutions.

Police reform in dozens, if not hundreds, of cities.

Vestiges of racism, oppression, etc...are being removed by dozens of companies.  Product policy changes are being addressed.  Hiring practices are changing. 

Countless CEO's, politicians and other leaders have resigned or been fired.

The sports and entertainment worlds have started to own up to their past racial mistakes.

The amount of things that have changed in the past 2 weeks in almost unprecedented.  NASCAR banned the Confederate Flag...that should tell you everything you need to know about how much things just changed.

Yep, statues of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, are being vandalized all over the country.  Even Hans Christian Heg who was an abolitionist who died fighting the Confederacy.
