Left-SRs didn't fight much with the Makhnovists.

Even the Mensheviks were pretty chill with the two abovementioned groups.

The sailors of Kronstadt even had all three among them.

The Bolsheviks shot all of them.

The anarchists of Spain got along quite well with the POUM (half-demsocs, half-Trots). The Stalinists shot them both.

The only real monkey wrench when it comes to cooperating are the Leninists. Demsocs, leftcoms, anarchists, and even succdems are usually more than happy to work with each other and not stab each other in the back.

What is a lamf?

It was both, fellow worker.

We need a diversity of tactics. The literature describes a "radical flank effect" where the radical and moderate wings of social movements mutually benefit.

The Americans should probably nationalise SpaceX, or at least buy out a controlling percentage of the shares.

To be fair, the name Antifa is used pretty much exclusively by radical anti-authoritarian left groups.

The libs don't organise into black blocs to beat up fascists, they write to their congressman to ask for stricter hate speech laws.

The tankies, despite creating the first group to call itself AFA, don't participate in them much in the modern day because they try to subordinate such things to their party, which goes against the decentralized ethos of what most people call Antifa.

This leaves anarchists, libcoms, and a small smattering of demsocs and Trots. Thus it is completely fair to refer to "Antifa" as a left-wing phenomenon.
