Not all antifa action is violent (community self-defence would be a more accurate term), in fact the majority of it is non-violent activism. Antifa would prefer people choose to not be fascist than to have fights with them.
I am supportive of ex-fascists who become anti-fascists, but I prefer that they start with non-violent anti-fascism at least until they are settled in their new life. Moving from one form violence to another leaves the fear that they will move on to more violence once there is no more fighting between fascism and antifa.
