Its just like all these millennial "do gooders". The hijack something and mold into their own distorted view of the world.

Many of these activists in the far left are just "rustled" without an actual grievance and just latch onto whatever seems like cause of the month.

Gotcha. And I agree that using the cause against something bad, is not justification for terrible actions in response.

That being said, and I know these are just words that may not mean anything, but I see a lot of people who advocate for violence or political imprisonment (i.e., the red scare) against the communists.

Again, anti-communism seems fine to me, but I don't understand why, with anti-facism and anti-communism views, the solution is always an authoritarian like, or at least anti-freedom, response. What good is it to fight a problematic ideology, with the same type of methods that make the ideology problematic in the first place?
