Why is the American right the extremist/murdering faction in American history, while the Russian Left is the Extremist faction in Russia?

Extremists tend to be violent. Leftists extremists have had no shot at taking power in the US since the first Red Scare
Extremism is a bad idea in general. The ideal state is a moderate one.

>oh p.s. I get to retroactively decide which "road" was in the "middle" based on if it a) roughly comports with, and b) flatters the ideological imperatives of liberal democracy

Because Russia is the Moriarty to America's Holmes.
>>1880417
Because you haven't a clue what the political spectrum is.
Left...........................................Right
Absolute control.......................Absolute freedom

>American right
>the extremist/murdering faction
You realize that every Presidential assassination attempt has been committed by leftists, correct?

>Left...........................................Right
>Absolute control.......................Absolute freedom
This is community college tier political analysis.
>>1880417
>American Right
>Murdering faction
That is objectively incorrect
>>1881890
Of course in reality both parties support the same shit, but it's only really the American Right that outright supports and asks for it.

>Falling for the left/right spectrum meme

Stop falling for SPLC memes faggot.
We had anarchists kill 1 president and try to kill another as well as set off bombs and kill capitalists from the 1880's-1930's. In the 60s and 70s most of the anti-state violence was from Leftist groups and that has continued today, see: BLM burning down 2 cities. Most "extreme right" groups in the US were destroyed after the 1945 Sedition Trials.

Good.

A loose collection of uppity negroes protesting with the opportunists among them looting does not count as a leftist movement.

Islamism is extreme right theocracy. Not like it's a real threat, but neither are leftist extremists.
