ANTIFA Vs. White supremacists: Which is more dangerous?

Debate Information

The US is home to over 33,000 street, motorcycle, and prison gangs, as well as thousands of criminal syndicates and drug cartels.

Beyond these groups are organized political movements, who have the explicit goal of causing political changes to US policy. Two of the most prominent groups are white supremacists and ANTIFA.

White supremacists are alt-right neo-nazi's who seek to establish an ethnostate via a second civil war.
ANTIFA, or "antifascists'" are far-left anarchists who oppose corprotism and oligarchic rule.

While I certainly do not condone either of these groups, we might ask which is more dangerous.

I will make my analysis based on the following criteria:

1- number of people killed
2- net cost of damages
3- number of members
4- level of organization
5- classification by government agencies
6- political clout
7- threats made to the general public

1. Since 1994, white supremacists groups have been associated with 329 deaths, while ANTIFA has not been associated with any.

ANTIFA: 0
White supremacists: 1

2: violent protests in which ANTIFA acted have been cited as the cause of at least $5 million in property damages, and possibly more due to riots caused by non-affiliated individuals. White supremacists have not be known to cause property damage in this way beyond costs associated with death of their victims. I will give ANTIFA benefit of the doubt.

ANTIFA: 1
White supremacists: 1

3: There are 1024 recognize white supremacist groups in the US, but ANTIFA is a single organization. Getting hard numbers on the size is difficult, but the number of known ANTIFA members is only about 400, making it less than the total number of white supremacist groups.

ANTIFA: 1
White supremacists: 2

4: White supremacist groups typically have strict internal hierarchies, and internal organization. The nature of ANTIFA makes it so that there is no leader or centralization.

ANTIFA: 1
White supremacists: 3

5: Several white supremacist groups have been recognized as domestic terrorists by the FBI. Trump wishes to declare ANTIFA a domestic terrorist organization, but as of yet there is no official recognition.

ANTIFA: 1
White supremacists: 4

6: White supremacist groups have been tied to Republican party members and the right-wing media. No political figure has been officially linked to ANTIFA or any of its affiliates.

ANTIFA: 1
White supremacists: 5

7: White supremacist groups have declared open hostilities to minority groups in the US. They have made multiple calls for violence and attacked unarmed civilians. ANTIFA's threats are typically limited to silencing those they disagree with. and none have been acted on with hostility.

ANTIFA: 1
White supremacists: 6


This analysis suggests that white supremacy groups are far more dangerous to public health and safety than ANTIFA is.
At some point in the distant past, the universe went through a phase of cosmic inflation,
Stars formed, planets coalesced, and on at least one of them life took root.
Through a long process of evolution this life 
developed into the human race.
Humans conquered fire, built complex societies and advanced technology .

All of that so we can argue about nothing.
