Yeah, I did mean that on a US-internal basis. Internationally, left-wingers and so-called left-wingers alike — whether they would be Americans or not — are just as capable of violence. Among other things, that was one of the reasons why I've always had very mixed feelings about Fidel Castro and Che Guevara. They drove a US-supported fascist dictator — who had his own death squads and torturers — away, but at the cost of great bloodshed and summary executions.
