It's a movement, isn't it? That's still a form of organization.

No it's not. It has no members. It had no leaders. It's just an idea. What do you think an organization is?

People are just nitpicking the meaning of the word Organization. Antifa is an organization in a very loose definition of the word. If you want to be more accurate, you'd call it a Network. Organizations (in the stricter sense) has a single leader and has a very tree-like structure with more power on top (like Corporations!), which Antifa obviously is not.

Though you're correct in that Antifa is a "movement".
