Sorry, can you point to examples of what Charlie describes as the far left (AOC, Bernie, Maya Wiley etc) calling for extrajudicial killings of right wingers? I think I have missed those.

I find the question obtuse to the point of being disingenuous. Of course I'm not talking about the US - that's a red herring. I'm talking about the Stalinist purges, the Holodomor, the Maoist purges, and Pol Pot, to name just the best known examples.
ItтАЩs not a perfect correlation, more of a trend. IтАЩm very familiar with left leaning people who have policed my speech, by shaming and offering тАЬreeducationтАЭ. I was called out for saying тАЬkill two birds with one stoneтАЭ, because тАЬsometimes what we say influences what we doтАЭ. Obviously not the same as extrajudicial killing, but the cure outweighed the тАЬoffenseтАЭ.
GG, I must say that what comes to mind for me are my far left cohorts who thought blowing up ski areas and pounding 60 penny nails into trees (so dangerous for lumberjacks) was a fair defense of the environment.

The conversation started with Communism, a bona fide far left movement, under which millions were murdered extrajudicially.

It is a rather large step from policing your speech (which you can often ignore, anyway, TBH--especially if you are not terminally online) and
extra-judicial killing (or even a quick (probably sham) trial followed by a rapid execution w/o appeal.
This is true. And this is what I acknowledged in my remark.
