I wish we could agree on a standard set of dimensions for political positions as a simple "left" and "right" don't really work...

In this case, even though I'm pretty far left by the standards of HN, I would have to point out that the "far right" hardly has a monopoly on political violence.




Of course - I'm not at all asserting the right has a monopoly on political violence. There are far left groups that support political violence: ETA, the Provisional IRA, Hamas, Hezbollah, Antifa, and various socialist dictators (Chavez, Castro, Mao, Stalin) would come to mind.
