Guess what: sharing goals with extremists doesn't mean that you approve of the methods that make them extremists. To equate everything far left of neoliberalism with groups like the RAF is as reductive and frankly bigoted as equating all Muslims with isis or al quaeda.
True, but that argument can be made both ways. I was simply trying to point out that the definition of far left in the meme doesn't compute with the memories from my youth.
Your memories of extremists. Just because the definition of this post doesn't fit the propaganda we were all spoon fed by Reaganites, Bushites and Clintonites doesn't mean that it's wrong. On the contrary, it's many times more representative of far left thought and behaviour in general than RAF were.
They were an outlier of an outlier, whereas the idea that everything that's necessary for survival should be freely available to everyone is one of the few things that all the different flavours of rational far left agree on.
