A good article about this from the Gates of Vienna web site:

excerpt (it's long):
The clash between the alt-right and the hard left at last Saturday’s aborted “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville ended in what appeared to be a deliberate atrocity on 4th Street just below the Downtown Mall. One woman was killed, and nineteen others wounded when James Fields ran them down with his car. The reason for the car’s sudden acceleration is not yet clear, but the Antifa action with the baseball bat immediately prior to the incident does raise questions (see this post for more).
Given the speed at which the car was traveling, and the number of people on the street, there could have been far more casualties — we’re fortunate that there was only one fatality.
And the political feast has begun. For those who would make hay of the incident — the earnest politicos who never let a good crisis go to waste — the maneuvering and posturing began the moment the bodies of the victims impacted the pavement on 4th Street. Twitter was alive with shock and horror and finger-pointing by the usual suspects all Saturday afternoon and evening.
It’s well-known that the Communists and “anti-fascists” who hit the streets for events like this one are being organized and directed from a higher level. They’re put on buses, driven to the venue, handed signs and banners, and given an itinerary and general instructions on what to do. Some of them are paid a per-diem for their participation. They act as the foot soldiers — and in this case, the cannon fodder — for the regional and local affiliates of the Globalist Left. Their directors and manipulators are “community organizers” à la Barack Hussein Obama. The leaders are cynical, hardened acolytes of Saul Alinsky, dedicated to inflicting the maximum possible damage to the cultural infrastructure of the oppressive capitalist patriarchy.
That’s how those Antifa banners and hammer-and-sickle flags ended up marching down Market Street by the library Saturday morning. Violence was not an unfortunate byproduct of the resulting confrontation; it was the intended outcome (see the Z Blog for more).
The police were ordered to stand down and let the Yin and Yang come together to grapple their eternal combat at the entrance to Lee Park. Blood on faces, blood on the streets, blood on the hood of a car — that was the preferred outcome.
The chief of police was acting on orders from Michael Signer, the mayor of Charlottesville, who is the sort of lefty you’d expect to be elected mayor of Berkeley East. But the mayor himself was taking his cues from higher up the food chain, beyond even Terry McAuliffe, the current governor of the Commonwealth (and also a former DNC chair and former campaign manager for Bill Clinton).
The Left’s organizers and manipulators got exactly what they wanted on August 12. Immense damage was inflicted on the #UniteTheRight meme-brand. They got a photogenic martyr for the cause. They got an abominable extreme “right-winger” as a villain to be deplored, excoriated, and repudiated from now until the sun turns into a cinder. And they were handed a glorious opportunity to give President Trump yet another poke in the eye.
Yes, last Saturday was a red-letter day for the Left. But what about the Right? What were they doing there? How were they so easily manipulated into doing grave damage to their own cause?
That’s a harder question to answer…
Nowadays it’s difficult simply to describe the process of events, because one is required to denounce and repudiate one ideological faction and affirm the other. Plain, factual, neutrally-worded discussion is generally not permitted. If I don’t explicitly denounce badthink, why, then obviously I must be in favor of it!
However, for the following discussion, I’d like to step back and pretend that I don’t have any opinions about the various components of the #UniteTheRight coalition. They range from liberty-minded patriots through the “race realists” to the Ku Klux Klan and the neo-Nazis. They are a disparate bunch, and the only thing that they have in common is the decision to take a stand against the open warfare that has been declared against white people.
The advocates for uniting these groups would have done well to ask themselves whether it was really possible to “unite” them in any meaningful way. The neo-Nazis, with their black regalia and crypto-swastika logos, were carrying a banner prominently headed by the words “National Socialist Movement”. That’s SOCIALIST, mind you.
There is no way that Liberty and Socialism can do more than briefly and superficially cooperate within any political order.
And the KKK is a Progressive entity, for crying out loud! Back in the 1930s it was part of the Progressive movement, and a favorite of Margaret Sanger’s. Eugenics and racism were Progressive in those days — purifying the white race of its defective and degenerate elements was part of the plan for creating the Shining Socialist Future.
The KKK was also a close affiliate of the Democrat Party until Lyndon Johnson redrew the political map in the 1960s.
These little historical crumbs have been swept under the rug by the post-1945 Left. All those embarrassing facts have been conveniently forgotten by Modern Multicultural Progressives. Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia, and Progressives have always opposed Racism.
The Left can’t be expected to remember these things, but the Right would be foolish to forget them.
