Anarchists are organized? You might want to look up the definition of anarchy.
They're a herd of cats.
One of the things I have long noticed from my seat on the fence is that right-wingers tend to respond far better than left-wingers to strongmen. They naturally tend to arrange themselves into top-down hierarchies around a single Big Man type...and think the other side does too.
They don't. Far leftists, in comparison, tend to mill around when they're interested (and only when they're interested), with no leaders and no structure and usually a lot of convictions but no actual plan...and always seem shocked when an organized opponent with an actual plan and underlings that actually do as their told conspires against them, because the left just does not have its sh!t together enough to do actual conspiracy well.
My observation of Antifa and its adherents is that they are islands of misfit toys. Not "organized." Which is exactly why the Feds have always struggled to define Antifa as a "terrorist organization"...mostly because Antifa is a movement, not anything resembling organized.
It's always fascinating watching people who are not self-aware struggle with the idea that their perceived opponent is simply not like themselves. And my observation is that the farther to the fringes of the right or left people are, the less self-aware they are likely to be. Both extremes are just blindly reactive...albeit in very different ways.

To offer a counter-point opinion...

the current Antifa anarchy movement is most certainly funded and networked just as their forefathers in Europe were almost a century ago. I would write a longer diatribe but think the following articles do a good job of exposing Antifa:
https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/16104/antifa-history A Brief History of Antifa: Part I Empirical and anecdotal evidence shows that Antifa is, in fact, highly networked, well-funded and has a global presence. It has a flat organizational structure with dozens and possibly hundreds of local groups. Antifa's stated long-term objective, both
and Part 2:
https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/16149/antifa-history-part-2 A Brief History of Antifa: Part II "The only long-term solution to the fascist menace is to undermine its pillars of strength in society grounded not only in white supremacy but also in ableism, heteronormativity, patriarchy, nationalism, transphobia, class rule, and many others." — Mark

Highly networked, yes.
The two Antifa dweebos I knew back when in college - albeit in the very early days of the Internet - had these little signal ciphers they used on one-time pads, and they changed the pads every couple of months. Since then I've heard they've switched to Telegraph and Signal and other encrypted networks.
Whatever, they're paranoid...and they're aware when the political winds change the powers-that-be won't like them very much. So they're arranged - and supposedly have been arranged since their very earliest days as the Red Brigades and Red Army Faction in Europe - as pre-built revolutionary cells, each one disparate from the others, neither aware (nor really all that interested) in who a lot of the others were, and each cell (or if they're unusually big, I guess you could call them a "chapter") of Antifa has their own organizers. And usually their own philosophy and manifesto. Leaf through their literature sometime; there's a godawful amount of it and my word do they takes themselves seriously. Basically: politics, as written by pretentious English majors with minors in philosophy, and just way too much time on their hands.
Maybe some of them are getting paid; the ones I knew assuredly weren't. They came from money; they were pretty much trust-fund babies with a penchant for every trendy cause known to man. Child soldiers in Africa. Save the whales. Ending the Military-Industrial Complex. Radical environmentalism. (You name it!)
Most of them are hobbyists, if you want my opinion, at least if they're anything like the ones I knew. And they're largely urban-based middle-to-upper-class folks, for the most part. My guess would be they're far more self-financed than part of some secret global network.

The main problem she found in her investigation was professors from a university in Austin TX were the leaders and trainers of this group. They don't want pictures of their faces taken and attacked a Dem. senator for taking picture of their faces in 2020. Should not the professors be fired from a university for training terrorists ? I would think so but if they have tenure could they still be fired?
