Both groups are shit and have no place in the US, yet the right is expected to condemn the people who want to associate themselves with the right when they carry around Nazi flags, yet the left not only doesn't have to condemn Communists they actually seem to welcome them into their party.

Because its a political ideal. Sure its been tried and failed multiple times. Nazis is a similar ideal but adding racism on top. Its a slippery slope, who decides what political view should and shouldn't be allowed at all. Thats the beauty of freedom of speech, everyone gets to say their piece but you get to call them an idiot for believing it. The freedom to swing my arms around ends at someone elses body/property.

Wait, you think there's no racism involved with Communism?

I didn't see any communist flags. Not sure how this has anything to do with a 2nd degree murder charge.

No, I honestly haven't seen that in any of the videos I watched. But considering we could also be linking a video from the weekend where some white nationalists walk up to people and attack them first with shields and flag poles, and then one of them did in fact murder one person while attempting to murder more, your clear implication that the only reason people might have something is to be the instigators of violence seems disingenuous at best.

Both Communism and Nazism are political ideals and both are responsible for some of the worst human atrocities in history.

When I say they have no place in the US I mean their values and views don't align with American values and views. I agree both groups should enjoy free speech as much as any other group. It's just the constant two faced hypocrisy coming from the left that drives me crazy.

They are all over the place in Antifa rallies and protests, aka riots.

Maybe none are visible in the videos we have seen but I would be shocked if none were.

And you're right, it doesn't have anything to do with murder, I was just commenting on the whole Communism discussion.

So you're using the car attack as an excuse for people to already be armed with baseball bats? And you call me disingenuous.
