US has a special definition for what constitutes "left" that doesn't apply outside. Compared to European leftists, US leftists are center-right.

Charlie Kirk was shot by a center-right guy on September 10, 2025?

Luigi Mangione shot the UnitedHealthcare CEO December 4, 2024 and had an anti-capitalist manifesto, was he center right?

What about Elias Rodriguez (leftist activist, Israeli Embassy Staff Shooting)?

Michael Reinoehl (antifa) who shot Aaron Danielson?

"No Kings" Vance Boelter who shot two politicians?

"Anti-ICE" Joshua Jahn who killed two detainees and wounding an agent in the Dallas ICE Facility Sniper Attack?

US leftists are the same murderous closeted communists as they are everywhere else.

They assassinate people (see recent cases), perform terrorist attacks (peaking at ~500 (!) bombings in 1971), form mobs to socially ostracise people they don't agree with, distribute brazen propaganda in mass media and subvert every organisation they join.

I don't think I get your point. Is it that the more someone is left-wing, the more they are likely to be killers? And extrapolating, the more right wing people are, the less likely they are? That is a wild take.

My point is that Democrats and Republicans disagree on social policies, but on the economical side they are very close to each other. They are two shades of capitalist policies. Other countries have parties that are simply non-capitalist - that is the "left".

I get the impression that you attempt to discuss in good faith. This is probably as far as we will get.

Am I to understand that all killers are leftist? It's either that, or you looked at the list of all killers and cherry-picked the leftist ones to make an argument.

No, my point was that "US leftists are leftist-light compared to the rest of the world" couldn't be further from the truth.
