action against Stop Cop City has been pretty brutal.

There’s no such thing as a “far left” - and it’s critical that we push back on these kinds of propagandistic framing devices liberals love to use to demonize the left and provide cover for the right. I don’t think leftists realize how powerful and dangerous this basic type of propaganda can be.

That’s why I qualified it as far-left by American standards.
We’ve had far-left in the past, but student terrorist movements were largely left behind in the 70s.
