All the groups involved in the Charlottesville events are leftists.
There were NO CONSERVATIVE GROUPS. They are all leftists.

There were NO CONSERVATIVE GROUPS. They are all leftists
Pretty much. We are watching the left fight the left. It’s going to be interesting to see where this leaves the D party in 2020.
“Alt-right” is such a sloppy, ill defined, abused and manipulated term that it is meaningless.
Be assured that for the leftist-statist, Free Republic is ‘alt-right’.
It is a targeting term, and nothing more.
Not picking a fight with you guy, but just pointing out how certain terms can take you down a rabbit hole. When arguing with a lefty if you use terms like “left” and “right” things can get fuzzy fast. Different definitions, different countries and other things can get you bogged down in semantics. I prefer to go straight to the source and call them MARXISTS. Just my 2 cents.
Dumb take.
Exactly, the National Socialists were only considered “right wing” because they were to the right of the international communist party of the USSR. Even in the U.S. there was little appetite for free market capitalism due to what is now regarded as a government caused depression.
Some people were there to preserve southern history. They weren’t Nazis or Antifa.
Some of the leftists were just run of the mill Democrats who didn’t intend to be part of violence.
But there were people intent on violence on both sides - likely a small % of the entire crowd.
They are socialists. Finally someone recognizes it.
I liken it to Hitler and Stalin running into each other in a park and as they duked it out, all their useful idiots got caught up in the crossfire. And now people are telling me I need to choose one side over the other? No sale, pal. Not falling for it. Go to Hell and take that bullsh!t with you...
Nazis and Commies hated each other in Germany before WWII but it was all just semantics.
BS. Let’s see the evidence on what the statue removal protesters believe. What industries are they proposing to nationalize? Do they support a government monopoly for medical care? Racial and sexual quotas? Confiscatory tax rates?
Your problem is you’re thinking leftist vs conservative. Conservatism doesn’t constitute the whole right wing. Those guys aren’t conservative. They HATE conservatives. They think conservatives got us in this mess. They blame conservatives for not getting in the streets and opposing this nightmare before it metastasized to the state it is in the Current Year. Maybe instead of condemning we should be grateful that there is one group that is willing to go out and mix it up with the antifa. We certainly haven’t been.
“...All the groups involved in the Charlottesville events are leftists...”
And as equally egregious, they are ALL RACISTS. ALL OF THEM.
Psalm 144 has it correct.
I don’t and never did think of neo-nazis or White-supremacists as true ‘alt-right’. Guys like Paul Joseph Watson, Milo etc. are the type who can accurately be called ‘alt-right’.
Just because the leftist media and politicians lump everyone that they disagree with into the category doesn’t mean they are.
But there were people intent on violence on both sides - likely a small % of the entire crowd.
I disagree although I find Nazi and KKK beliefs horrible, I do not think they were going to try violence. I think they were marching to show their beliefs.
Honestly, I did not see them striking at the Antifa Etc. Maybe I missed it.
Problem is, some leftists are in denial...the Stalinists hate the Trotskyites and vice versa, sometimes more than they hate us, because to disagree on anything is heretical to them and they fear it may lead to reform and counterrevolution. So one faction of socialists invented the terms right and left so as to distance themselves from the other, when in fact they are just two sides of the same sheet of paper, a couple mils apart.
No. You had the communists, then you had the social democrats (the largest party,and the one that rules now), and then you had the NSDAP forming on the right. They were absolutely not Marxists. Saying they’re both left wing just confuses the issue. They are hard core right wing fascists, and they’re proud of it.
There’s footage out there of the Nazi/KKK folks armed with bats and poles beating a black man at one point. Others were decked out ready to rumble no doubt about it.
Was a small % on both sides though.
Leftists would dress up as Nazis or use Swastika flags at Tea Party events just to get media attention and feed a false narrative.
No telling what anyone really stands for including the guy charged now with murder. His mother (Bloom) is Jewish making him Jewish. An odd Nazi, no doubt.
