The weather underground declared war on the US government and set off bombs. Just because you agree with their stated goals doesn’t mean they weren’t extreme.
But let’s see we have the FARK, Shining Path. Black painters, Tamil Tigers, The Maoist(not the CCP) Black Liberation Army how about the Seattle WTO Riots, oh and the Unibomber.
Look right now the people in the US rebellion against the status quo are right wing, but to say there can’t be left wing extremism is just not true.
Thank you for these great examples of how very limited the existence of “left extremism” really is. Maybe instead of trying to stoke concern about statistically non-existent threats, you could focus on the actual threat of the tens of millions of fascists who voted in the last U.S. election. Should I really be concerned about your examples that account for almost zero percent of today’s U.S. population?
I’m not sure if you’re just trying to stoke fear about a non-existent threat or if you think playing Devil’s Advocate is helpful to someone. Either way, your comments can only serve to distract from the actual threat of conservatism.
P.s.
Ted Kaczynski was quite outspoken in his rejection of the left. He even wrote against the left in his infamous manifesto. I don’t have any idea why you would include him in your list of “left extremists”.

All it was was someone asked what left wing extremism looked like. Why are you so offended by the fact they can exist. I have no agenda here.
