    We hear about extremists, but I think most leftists want everyone to get along and wouldn’t want to kill people unless they really had to.

    The repercussions of killing its own population is counterproductive if the people can still be doing work for your program.

    If one has the choice of imprisoning to rehabilitate a fascist or killing a fascist when you achieve hegemony, imprisonment is definitely preferable.

      Oh I agree with all of that. My convoluted point was that even the rare legitimate dangerous fringe leftist is usually less dangerous than many of the pervasive directions of the right.
