Both sides are dangerous.
If I hear this argument one more time that both sides commits murder and acts terrorism I will hit someone. Tell, me when was the last time an extremest left wing Marxist type group did anything like this? Hell, the closest thing I can think of is the Weather Underground and they told people to leave. If anyone knows of any far-left groups telling this please let me know. I know there are Marxist movements in the Third World that have done some very bad things in the course of their revolutions such as Maoist Shining Path, however those are usually wars against their governments, not that it excuses their actions against civilians however it is the same as the groups listed below. However the far right has the following:

1.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oklahoma_city_bombing

2.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Order_%28group%29

3.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9-11

4. Of course the recent shootings in Norway.

2. The vast majority of those existed during the Cold War.
Also I mentioned the Shining Path already as an example and asked for groups that were directly targeted civilians and weren't engaged in campaigns against governments. How about in the U.S. and Europe though, because that is what I am addressing. Find me modern examples of the far left engaging in terrorist acts in the U.S. or Europe.
