Kronke.. here's the thing...

The left on this board and others say there is no such thing as an "alt-Left".. therefore if there is no "alternate left", then those that are being referred to as "alt-left" are the same as those who admit to being leftists.

which means the left is admitting they're okay, claiming violent, Marxist/communist revolutionaires among their numbers.

And while I know Bannon is the one that gets credited with the "alt-right" label, I believe (although those of you who depend on Wikipedia will say otherwise...) that the "alt-right" term was created by Billy Kristol, when he basically tried to label everyone who didn't agree with him.

Ridiculous...and wrong.

1. We've covered this before. I posted a poll months ago and not one liberal here voiced support for the violence of ANTIFA or any group that has been tied, rightly or not, to the left.
2. See my link above. White-Supremacist Richard Spencer coined the term Alt-Right almost a decade ago.

I didnt' say anyone supported it, tom

I said, that considering how the political spectrum plays out you're pretty much considered on the left of the political spectrum, centrist, or to the right of the political spectrum. (or some combination there of)...

I'll even give you there are the idiots(the Spencers, Dukes of the world) that call themselves the "alt-Right"... but where do you tie in the beliefs of the clowns that are part of ANTIFA. Do they condone beliefs that lie more along the left line of the spectrum or the right side of the spectrum? I'd say it's more along the left line of the spectrum... so if they're not an "alternate (warped) left", then where do they fall in that political spectrum window.

Again, their spoken (or in most case, yelled) claims (when they're not trying to beat the **** out of people), typically falls in the left mantra of beliefs.

Actually, you kind of did. Sorry.
