Roughly my reading of the situation, but I suspect that here it is the leading role of right-wing money, rather than the leading role of the communist party, which is falsifying the label they've chosen to present to the world.

You are attacking people's religion. It is very oppressive religion based on assumptions that are not allowed to be questioned by scientists.
"not allowed"? AGW is questioned by scientists (usually not in the field
of climate science, but sometimes with advanced degrees in some other
field) all the time. It's not illegal. Nobody puts a gun to your head or
throws you in jail for doing it.
At least in Europe, the main problem is that the media has been
spreading climate hysteria. Especially teenagers have taken part in
large demonstrations, some running a demonstration outside the
parliament every Friday afternoon. Politicians have jumped on the AGW
bandwagon, in the parliament of Finland 8 out of 9 parties demand
carbon neutrality before the EU is ready to do so. They also demand
stopping eating meat, since meat production harms the climate.
Saying something negative in public about feminism or LGBT and you
will be crushed in the social media.
From this it is not a long time before activists starts to physically
harm sceptical people or their property.
Antifa and the like do that already.
Antifa seems to be an invention of the right-wing press. It's easy enough to buy actor-time and get them to do stuff on camera that fits the expectations of right-wing readers.
The last left-wing demonstration that I took part in - against the the Vietnam war, so quite a while ago - had bunch of left-wing monitors watching out for hot-headed kids who might do things that wouldn't look good if reporters managed to photograph them.
It's public relations 101.
From what I can see Antifa is real. They have their own organization and activities although they are not terribly active.
But are they grass-roots or astro-turf? The Tea Party activists that gutted the Republican party seem to have been paid for by the Koch brothers - James Arthur seems to have got some of their money, though his right-wing views seem to be congenital. Antifa could be another such right-wing invention.
I think your tinfoil hat is restriction your bloodflow.
Tinfoil hats protect against electromagentic radiation. Protecting political processes and public information against people with money requires other defenses.

The anti-fascists I've known (not many) were very careful to be non-violent, precisely because it plays better in the media.
antifa is anti-fascists just like "Democratic People's Republic of Korea", "Germans Democratic Republic" is/was democratic.
