See: Pol Pot
Pol Pot is your choice of historical figures to try to call out leftist violence? Are you playing dumb, or are you genuinely that fucking stupid?
Also, are you saying it’s wrong to use violence to fight back against violent authoritarian regimes? Is it ok for them to use violence and it’s only wrong when leftists use violence?
not sure how this is relevant, tbh ...
maybe you mistakenly believe I think the left doesn't use violence as a tool? How do you think slavery was abolished? How was the Magna Carta signed? How did we get the 40 hour work week? How did we get democracy? Bloodshed.
This isn't related to our topic or your question, which is about whether the far-right uses violence to maintain purity.
No matter how much violence the left uses to give women the right to vote or to free slaves, it doesn't justify the slaughter of Jews by the Nazis or other far right genocides.
