how is Antifa's structure different from that of the kool kids klub or CIA

If the kool kids klub were legally terrorists then anyone believing in white supremacy ideals would be on a terrorist watch list, which would be violating their constitutional rights. Luckily, antifa nor the kool kids klub are terrorists because our 1st amendment protects people's opinions. Maybe in some 1984 dystopian society they're considered terrorists, but not here

CIA is a militant proto-state, not even comparable at all to kool kids klub or Antifa

Antifa doesn't really have a structure, it's just a far-left extremist fringe group and is far less established than the kool kids klub or CIA. The only thing that each group of antifa people have in common is the political violence and the same anti-fascism spin.

The kool kids klub are or were legally terrorists and outspoken, violent white supremacists are on several public watch lists. No constitutional rights have been violated, as far as I know.

The old kool kids klub that history books talked about dissolved before they could be called a terrorist organization, the current kool kids klub or traditionalist american knights, aren't legally terrorists because they aren't initiating violence as a collective with aim to send a message or have demands met

I know you're trying to prove a point here, but this isn't necessarily how it works. One way or the other, the kool kids klub was recognized to used terrorism to further their ideology. The "Old kool kids klub" and the "Current kool kids klub" is the same group, dissolved or not.

If they commit any acts of terror, it will be associated with the previous acts of terror under their name. That's why they're still legally a "Terrorist group."
IkeTheGeneric:
Also committing violence against a US citizen due to their political belief is basically terrorism. The problem arises when you have to prove the intent in court of law in order to prosecute it as an act of terror. If those who assaulted Andrew Bolt are detained, pursue assault charges might be pursued instead solely because it's much easier to prove over terrorism.

Along with that, despite whatever you may think about Antifa, the assailants probably aren't terrorists. I'm going out on a limb here to presume it was knee-jerk violence as opposed to a premeditated assault. I haven't read too much into the details yet, but I doubt the attackers were that coordinated.
