How are you any different from an extremist right winger at that point? You want violence rather than solutions.

You want violence rather than solutions

Violence is a tool which can, and in the past has, created solutions when used appropriately. It's how we dissolve the fascist groups in my area.

The problem with extremist right wingers isn't merely that they're violent, the issues are:

  • Their demands and rationale (based on their values as a 'right winger')
  • *Their ill-conceived, anti-social use of violence *(e.g. race war PotD envisioned by neo-Nazi terrorists, a strategy that history has demonstrated simply doesn't work. They're not even achieving their goals, just slaughtering innocent citizens)

Look at prominent cases of whoever you declare to be 'left wing extremists'. They're typically targeting specific atrocious people or groups like neo-Nazis or heads of state or capitalist industrialists, not just terrorizing citizens.

When peaceful protest is ignored or violently stopped, what other choice is there but to react violently?

Protest is the alternative to revolution. When protest goes ignored just so the powerful can retain their power, violence is the only remaining solution.

History tells us this time and time again.

Wheres your protests? You haven't even tried to see if it gets put down.

Have you been living under a rock, in a cave, on Mars?

BLM, Occupy Wall Street, the protests during Bush's invasions in the Middle East, and a myriad of others would like to know your location.
