While you make a good point, you are missing a key element. I’ve know some individuals with extreme views on a variety of issues. Some were saints, some were sinners, and some were nut jobs. But none were inherently dangerous to millions because they were individuals.

Group identity politics is what murders millions and is tearing the country apart. Rectification of perceived injuries of a group by a group cause destruction of groups.

Individual injuries of individuals by individuals can be rectified judicially. When a presidential candidate can call half the country a basket full of deplorables and the vast majority of a major political party agrees there is danger!

Antifa and Nazis are equally dangerous philosophies; unfortunately antifa is not as rare as Nazis.

BLM and KKK are equally dangerous philosophies; unfortunately BLM is not as rare as KKK.

The DNC/MSM Political Complex needs to start suppressing Antifa and BLM as equally as they did and do Nazis and KKK.

The reason is that most of the educational system from K through post grad is run by 20th century communists and those indoctrinated by them.

Extremism has very little meaning in a vacuum unless it is specifically used to describe something else. It is that something else that makes extremism a good or bad thing.

"Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice."

I would require every year, every high school student to read The Gulag Archipelago by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.


Wiki says it's required reading in Russian high schools.

You can thank John Dewey for that. He started the Progressive movement in the schools.

The media provides what sells. Extremism does not rule the Democrats as a party. It's just fodder. What legislation has Antifa or BLM pushed through?

It's disgusting that communism gets a pass.

There's a ton of stories in Europe by people who lived in countries that were occupied by both the Soviets and Nazis at different times, and just about all of them say the Nazis were by far better. The Bolshevists were brutal immoral people who raped and pillaged their way through Europe. But that's never talked about

What about the Bolsheviks Revolution? People talk about Hitler killing Jews. The Bolsheviks were Jews...and they killed 10 million Christian Russians. You don't see our history books talk about that!!!


Hitlers whole reason for hating the Jews was because of this. Watch videos on YouTube of former Nazi soldiers. It's a different perspective that most aren't exposed to. The only reason they supported Hitler and fought for the Nazis was to prevent Germany and Western Europe from communism. They were terrified of it

Both sides committed terrible atrocities but I hate how the whole picture isn't taught. The rise of fascism was in direct response to the spread of communism
