Who is the leader of Antifa?

Does a charge and conviction mean that this action is good or morally justified? If so then your issue with the feds designating Juggalos as a hybrid gang would be contradicted.

This action follows the administration's established pattern of trying to tie political dissent in the US to unrelated foreign actors (often the Kurdish PKK) so that they can lay the legal footing to prosecute Americans as being actors under the control of "Foreign Terrorist Organizations"

That's a silly rubric. Loosely organized groups have cells with leaders, not a single one.

That specific Antifa chapter's cell leaders can be found in the link above.

The KKK didn't have a single leader either after WWII, it was distributed chapters. So does that mean they weren't a terrorist group anymore?

And the Juggalo fans didn't coordinate to go riot / cause violence, not the same as either of those.
