The NAZI party song (Horst Wessel lied) was an anti communist song. Here’s the first stanza.
Disclaimer: I do not believe in or support anything regarding the NAZI party. This is for historical context. I am a fiscal constitutional conservative social libertarian. Fascism/Nazism/Communism are simply different branches of the socialist tree.
Raise the flag! The ranks tightly closed!
The SA marches with calm, steady step.
Comrades shot by the Red Front and reactionaries
March in spirit within our ranks.

When you dig into the history the whole ANTIFA movement makes sense. Hitlers NAZI party and Mussolini’s Fascist party were the opponents to the global Soviet Communist movement.
It’s perfectly understandable that a bunch of Berkeley communists don’t like fascists or Nazi’s much.
BTW, the rise of the NAZI party in Germany led to the Communists of the “Frankfurt School” fleeing Germany to the USA and eventually inventing “Critical Theory” and it’s offshoot Cloward-Piven. Both of which are taught heavily now in the Universities in the USA.
The Fascists fought the Communists, but this shouldn’t be regarded as being due to ideological differences.
Fascism and Communism are both big-state Totalitarian ideologies that seek to put the State in the place of God.
Compared with free-market capitalism, they are practically identical.
So why did they fight?
For the same reason that the Bloods and the Crips fight.
Because the Fascists and the Communists were both groups of amoral gangsters. They fought for control, for turf, and because the loser would die.
This same fratricidal struggle has played out elsewhere in the political sphere:
See also Stalin vs Trotsky, Bolsheviks vs Mensheviks, Lin Biao vs Mao.
When the Left fights and kills the Left, they always twist the truth and denounce their foes as Right Wing reactionaries. The truth is not in them.

The definition of fascist they use is anyone not as leftwing as themselves. I regually see people doing nothing but filming Antifa called a Nazi and beaten half to death. It’s kind of a join or get beaten type of group.
Historically Fascism was reaction to Marxism that chose 3ed way socialism and fought with the same rule book that the Marxists used. When we note the similarities between fascism and Antifa it’s only because we’re heavily indoctrinated on the horrors of Fascism and received no training in the horrors of Marxism because Marxists control the schools and the media.
Marxists are much more dangerous than Fascists are because no one really believes in Fascism but Marxism has an endless supply of true believers willing to kill for it.
We made a mistake during the cold war. We should have rounded every Communist and Marxist and given them same treatment we gave the Nazis. You can’t coexist with them.
