The leader of a conservative think tank claims that most recent political violence in the U.S. has been caused by left-wing extremists, but the data paints a different picture.
Even if heritage was correct and left-wing terrorism was more common, it wouldn’t change the fact that left-wing terrorism is often way more moral than right-wing terrorism.
Targetting ultra-wealthy, alt-right or similar organizations in assassinations/kidnappings/robberies is infinitely better than committing ethnically-driven murders and mass shootings.
I think the reason why they say “most political violence is left-wing violence” is because they want to convince their actual audience, the donor class, into supporting a fascist takeover by appealing to the “class warfare” concept that conceptually might frighten them more than a fascist USA.
Exactly along the same lines that you’re thinking, the targets of right-wing political violence tend to be protestors, LGBTQ+ people, people of color, low-level government employees…left-wing political violence if it were directed properly would be more targeted on things like the ultra-rich (aka Republicans’ real constituency).
