If you get a chance, read a little bit of Wikipedia about the Italian King Vittorio Emmanuel III who gave up the crown in 1946 and also read about the Italian royal rulers referred to as the House of Bourbon.
What you will soon discover are the reasons why the Founding Father's of the United States created a republic with a representative form of government.
Here is a sentence from Wikipedia about the Bourbon House: "Bourbon monarchs then united to France the small kingdom of Navarre, which Henry's father had acquired by marriage in 1555..."
The Bourbon monarchs acquired a small kingdom by marriage. The people who lived in that "kingdom" would have had very little say in what transpired. The Founding Father's understood the inequality of royalty and wealth concentrated in the hands of a few. They violently opposed it. In this respect, the Founding Fathers were leftists.
Now, while you might not like the antifa's methods, you probably would like Mussolini's fascism even less.
I doubt that the U.S. is anywhere close to the brand of fascism the Nazi's promoted or that ruling family of Italy promoted, and that's the way it should stay.
But sometimes I wonder if the U.S. needs to move even further away from any hint of fascism. After all, the losses of the banks during the Great Recession were socialized, but the profits since then have been privatized. Remember "Too Big to Fail"?

An impulsive man, the present-day Victor Emmanuel, who has renounced all claims to the throne, did little to enhance the family reputation when, five years ago, he described Mussolini's racial laws - which eventually led to the deportation of 8,000 Jews to concentration camps - as "not all that bad".
