The Weather Underground were violent, causing the departure of Bill Ayers. But that was pretty much it for leftist crazies. And not a response to fascism.
In the 60s and 70s?!?! Unless you count the Black Panthers, Symbionese Liberation Army, or counterculture violence ranging from Charles Manson's hippie cult murders to the numerous protests-turned riots at Columbia, Berkeley, the 1968 Democratic convention, and many more, often led by radical groups like the SDS (Students for a Democratic Society). And Ayers' spin is BS.
"There is no fascist threat"
Oh no? Nobody killing brown skinned people at the El Paso border?
One racially bigoted kid isn't a "fascist" threat. You do realize fascism is primarily an economic ideology don't you? The same weekend an anti-Trump socialist and Antifa supporter murdered a bunch of people at Dayton, and violence from people like that is more of a pattern than anti-minority violence is. The El Paso guy doesn't even represent a racial threat. "Brown skinned" people are way more likely to murder whites than vice versa. It's not even close.
Yet there hasn't been one single Antifa massacre leaving a multitude of deaths.
Unless you count Dayton. Unclear motive but he was deep into Antifa rhetoric and that mind set so the fuel was ripe for just about any spark to set it off. And BLM and other leftists have murdered lots of people.
But murders are a tiny percentage of violence, let alone crime. Antifa and other leftist groups commit almost all the mass street violence, and have a negative impact on freedom of speech, free thought, basic civility, and the economy.
And you're quite ignorant for pretending the murdering white nationalists do not exist.
You're ignorant for claiming they're a big problem, one eclipsing the very real, much greater leftist threat. White nationalists have been totally marginalized for decades. Marxists haven't been.
