Who's financing this? Demos don't just spontaneously organise themselves these days.
You don't need financing to wander around the streets and organise(?) via social media.

Germany: Gas station employee killed over a face mask

A 20-year-old clerk was shot after asking a customer to wear a face mask in Germany.

[...]

The man is said to have entered the gas station to make a purchase without wearing a face mask and the 20-year-old employee asked him to comply with the regulation. The two allegedly got into an argument, which prompted the maskless man to leave.

But according to police, the man is said to have returned roughly an hour later. This time, he was wearing a mask but he took it off and the two men started another argument. The suspect then pulled a concealed revolver out of his pocket and shot the 20-year-old.

Senior public prosecutor Kai Fuhrmann told DPA that the victim died after a fatal shot to the head. After the incident, the suspect is said to have fled on foot.

I was going to joke about Antifa in the Melbourne crowds, but MP George Christensen already went there.
Mr Christensen has criticised some violent protesters, alleging some were potentially “agent provocateurs” and part of the left-wing, anti-fascist group Antifa who were undermining the “cause of freedom”.

It’s shocking to see so many leftwingers lured to the far right by conspiracy theories

...

It’s an uncomfortable thing to admit, but in the countercultural movements where my sympathies lie, people are dropping like flies. Every few days I hear of another acquaintance who has become seriously ill with Covid, after proudly proclaiming the benefits of “natural immunity”, denouncing vaccines and refusing to take the precautions that apply to lesser mortals. Some have been hospitalised. Within these circles, which have for so long sought to cultivate a good society, there are people actively threatening the lives of others.

...

There has long been an overlap between certain new age and far-right ideas. The Nazis embraced astrology, pagan festivals, organic farming, forest conservation, ecological education and nature worship. They promoted homeopathy and “natural healing”, and tended to resist vaccination. We should be aware of this history, but without indulging what Simon Schama calls the “obscene syllogism”: the idea that because the Nazis promoted new age beliefs, alternative medicine and ecological protection, anyone who does so is a Nazi.

...

But much of what we are seeing at the moment is new. A few years ago, dreadlocked hippies spreading QAnon lies and muttering about a conspiracy against Donald Trump would have seemed unthinkable. Today, the old boundaries have broken down, and the most unlikely people have become susceptible to rightwing extremism.

The anti-vaccine movement is a highly effective channel for the penetration of far-right ideas into leftwing countercultures.

It's similar to the early 70s. Hippies, young men and assorted groups against the Vietnam war came together against the government.

Dreadlocked hippies are (or were). Communalism is left wing.
