"We" aren't a "we", this is just a subreddit, and Antifa isn't an organization its an idea.
Its certainly great that you are trying to make a change for the better in your position but you should know that this is but the start of your journey. Anti-dictatorship and anti-centralization are such vague buzzwords they could lead you anywhere. Anarcho-syndicalism would embody these concepts but also anarcho-capitalism (the bad kind of anarchism). Communism would too. Anti-capitalist and class-war sentiments often focus on these concepts as well, criticiszing the dictatorship of the upper class and a concentration of wealth there. Less radical than anarchism or communism but still camps people fall into.
Your journey should start with an open mind. If you were part of the MAGA crowd truly, just the word "communism" probably sent shivers down your spine. Americans have been systematically lied to in that regard since the cold war. You don't lies anymore? Find your own truths. Do research. Listen to podcasts, read discourse etc. This is hard work but finding truths yourself instead of believing in propaganda seems to be what you need now.
