Socialism

Can confirm. I have seen leftists proudly display the communo-anarchist Gadsden flag which implies aggression and violence. These are almost always the same leftists who own guns and advocate for violent revolution & punching fascists.

The report says "two thirds [of violent extremists were] from the far right, about a quarter from the far left, and the remainder were driven by religious or 'ethnonationalist' causes". Violent leftists are absolutely real, and no one should pretend they do not exist. Change requires uncertainty, fear, and discomfort, but violence is optional. The ends never justify the means, the ends are the means.
