They're saying he isn't left, in this poorly-proofread article: https://www.argusleader.com/story/news/crime/2018/07/19/antifa-connection-nonsense-says-brother-man-charged-bomb-making/803303002/
It's too early to tell what's true. Just because he owns something doesn't mean he endorses it. Just because he endorses something on the internet doesn't mean he isn't trying to infiltrate it. But what we're seeing with the reports and comments about this and, for instance, the "Tommy Robinson" case is so much emotional outrage on both sides that the facts don't matter. All they need is the whiff of implication and you get pages upon pages of invective and speculation.
What's more dangerous than communists being honest about wanting to destroy things is their ability to destroy our confidence in what we see.
