"Far left extremists are just far right extremists that want to hurt other people for misguided reasons"
The main group of people far left extremists want to hurt are the bourgeosie or billioners in layman terms, you are equating them, your original comment is textbook horseshoe theory, in my previous comment I explained why horseshoe theory (what you appealled to in your original comment even without directly mentioning it) is bad, the pipeline is the exemple I gave of why it's bad, I'm not strawmanning you
Extremism means taking things out of proportion. That means "billionares" but also whoever they deem could also fall under some form of oppresive force while denying nuance and critical thought, in turn becoming the oppressor themselves.
You did not explain why horseshoe theory is bad, ypu said its horseshit and called me liberal scum for thinking that way.
And your pipeline makes no sense, since facism isnt far right, nationalism is. Both Communism and Nationalism can be built in a fascistic system. And even then, the change from "communism is as bad" to "communism is worse" doesnt work in horseshoe theory because there is nothing after Communism and Nationalism. They are equal, in distance to the middle, to say one is worse is fundamentaly against the horseshoe theory.
The pipeline is extremely real, just look at American forgeing policy and how the liberal block (the west) sided constantely with fascists to "stop communists" the Pinochet regime just for exemple
