In this country, in recent years, one political assassination and at least one attempted assassination
Phil also went to the trouble of creating a thread and post to highlight an attack on a far right politician.
The game of the far right and their sympathisers is to cling to any example of violence or intimidation directed at them..... When their meat, drink, bread and butter is intimidation and hate every single day.
How do you define left and Right?
The world's two biggest killers by far - Mao Zedong - Joseph Stalin both who could be described as Left wing .... Khmer Rouge also Left Wing ....
The claim 'The right are responsible for vastly more violence' is just emotive based on Hitler (who started out as a socialist) being a homicidal right wing nutter who lost the war ... Stalin was far worse but he won ....
Whilst the Right wing does indeed contain some odious racist W****rs, they are few in number and 99.9% all talk. The Left wing with their Yellow Vest protests have caused more deaths (10 so far) than Right wing protests have killed in a decade. Both sides are still out of order
The truth is the Far Right and the Far Left are equally odious, history shows that the left are just as violent and have killed just as many people as the right. To try and say one group of extremists is somehow less abhorrent than their opposite number ... is like saying death by drowning is better than death by hanging ... either way you're still dead.
I'm not basing anything on Hitler or Stalin
I'm basing it on attitudes. Far Right ideology as a matter of fact has hate at its very core. It's aim is by it's very nature to discriminate.
Far left ideology, has at its core a wish for people to be equal in opportunities and rights.
I'm not denying that there are examples of far left idiots committing violence. What I'm saying is that hate, discrimination and all that goes with that, are an integral part of far right DNA
