Aside from the lack of lynchings, firebombs, and flaming crosses? If the protest is peaceful & lawful it is a protest. If not, it is probably more of a riot. That distinction should be based on the actions of the actors and not the political leanings of their movement.
You mean like colonial times when Boston's beloved Sons of Liberty were vandalizing and hanging effigies in front of the homes of those tasked with enforcing British law (e.g. Andrew Oliver)?
