Notes -
I guess in theory or all else being equal, then yes. But all else is not equal.
There are some Nazi or White Nationalist groups actually in existence. But I don't think any of them follow actual 1920s Nazi ideology all that strictly, particularly with regard to things like strong hierarchal organization or following a single individual as leader in a near cult of personality like manner.
Actual Antifa groups in existence don't seem to be all that disorganized in practice. They claim to eschew organization, but don't seem to display all that many characteristics of a truly uncoordinated movement. I don't think that in practice they are less organized than any specific right wing groups.
Whatever effect of this there is, in practice it seems to be drowned out by a thousand other things, like which group is more closely aligned with the power structure. Antifa related groups sure seem to have an awful lot of high-level people in the Democrat party denying that they exist and excusing or ignoring their actions and mainstream media journalists peddling their propaganda. I don't think anything like this has happened for any right-wing groups, and certainly not for any group that comes anywhere near openly supporting Nazism.
