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?

Not from me. The ideology is supremely flawed as has been proven multiple times in history. It will be defeated in a democratic country like the US. Hell the socialist leaning countries in the EU are experiencing a severe backlash of their own.

The violence and rhetoric is coming from a movement that is on the ropes. That's what anything does when its survival is in jeopardy. The more they react this way the more it tells me the country wants to move back to its center and find equilibrium.
