The far-right, as an ideology, is violently upholding hierarchy. Violence is a part of the ideology.
Members of the far left are also decidedly in favor of violence. Think about the cheering over slain police officers, countless facades of small businesses destroyed, etc.
Again, I'm playing devil's advocate. I'm firmly on the left. I just think the level of cognitive bias in politics is mind boggling.
Yea, that's not what's happening. ACAB and police abolition are not about murdering police officers, it's about restructuring these systems entirely.
They're talking further left than that
Adding violence to the mix doesn't make it further left, it's a difference in strategy and implementation. Centrists also love violence, may I remind you about Henry Kissinger?
