Antifa will support law enforcement or the state when they can be used to persecute their targets. Otherwise, they claim they're fighting to abolish both.

Antifa, and all other lefties, including people like Sam Harris will support noble sounding liberal causes like Free Speech, Freedom of Religion, Rule of Law, Private Property rights etc. As long as they don't have it or is used against their enemies or for their protection. Soon as they get to position of power these political tools are abolished. Because their world view is all about obtaining political power. And in that capacity they see themselves morality justified to do anything and all it takes to get it, because the end justifies the means. After all the promised utopia is just around the corner. Few more dead bodies and we are there. Its all justified they say.

“The conservative "thinks of political policies as intended to preserve order, justice, and freedom. The ideologue, on the contrary, thinks of politics as a revolutionary instrument for transforming society and even transforming human nature. In his march toward Utopia, the ideologue is merciless.” ― Russell Kirk

“Kirk defined the ideologue as one who “thinks of politics as a revolutionary instrument for transforming society and even transforming human nature.” Unleashed during the most radical phase of the French Revolution, the spirit of ideology has metastasized over the past two centuries, wreaking horrors. Jacobinism, Anarchism, Marxism, Leninism, Fascism, Stalinism, Nazism, Maoism—all shared the fatal attraction to “political messianism”; all were “inverted religions.” Each of these ideologies preached a dogmatic approach to politics, economics, and culture. Each in its own way endeavored “to substitute secular goals and doctrines for religious goals and doctrines.” Thus did the ideologue promise “salvation in this world, hotly declaring that there exists no other realm of being.” ― Russell Kirk, The American Cause
