Many thought that the alt-right is not a real thing either. Turns out if you label something and it sticks, it becomes real.

“alt-right” is a label created by people to refer to themselves, and distinguishes their group from the establishment right.

“alt-left” is a label created by defenders of the alt-right to refer generically to it's opponents. They aren't really parallel terms.

I did ask :) It appears as if the Alt-Left is already a thing. Otherwise people would be asking for clarification on what I meant by it.
