Comments by "Acid Joke" (@PWMoze) on "A New Dawn of Far Left Extremism" video.

Sadly this is not a new phenomena. Throughout the sixties and the seventies Che Guevara posters adorned the walls of every left wing student's bedsitter, a murderer who thought nothing of employing torture, assasination or political violence against non-combatants but was loved by young lefties because the iconic poster made him look like a rock star. Before that the left loved Mao, Stalin, Trotsky and Lenin, all of whom were genocidal psychopaths.

We used to give 'have-a-go heroes' praise and public acclaim. Now we accuse them of racism and threaten them with prosecution .

@BritishLandeur I don't know why but Youtube keep immediately deleting my replies. I was trying to say that I agree with you and that the situation you describe was also the case in the seventies, with the Bader-Meinhof Gang in Germany and the Brigado Rossi in Italy as two examples. Ridiculously unrealistic and unachievable demands lead to extremely violent tactics, all the while being romanticised by foolish young left wingers. It is very worrying when people start justifying and celebrating extremism. No one benefits from the actions of fanatics.

@inquisitive.lurker i was talking generally not specifically about Daniel Perry's case. However I don't condemn him either.

@BritishLandeur I see your point. When leftists' political aspirations are extreme or unrealistic they often resort to extremist methods, like the Bader Meinhof gang or Brigado Rossi did in the seventies. If the UK or any Western European country were to experience a national populist government in the near future, one that firmly pushes back against the liberal, globalist agenda, you can pretty much guarantee that there would be this kind of reactionary backlash.

All of whom were spoilt, entitled, middle class kids from good homes.
