There is a reason left wing groups must be militant in their operation. The capitalist class will never willingly allow another option to their complete and unyielding control.

No? The coup was stopped through non-violent resistance and diplomatic pressure. That's the opposite of what you're saying.

There's also a reason most of those militant groups end up with authoritarian leadership... because that capitalist class is usually bankrolling them.

While I agree, the issue is the very moment we become militant we get labeled as "terrorists". The far-right just gets ignored.

We will always be labeled as terrorists, no matter what we do. The far right is kept as both agents of division to keep the populous separated and as a last ditch ally when society comes together to free itself from the yolk of capital exploitation

You’ll get labeled as terrorists regardless.

If you want to rule, you are gonna need to done violence.

Nothing to do with left or right, this is how power works. Ideology is there to get peasants to die for your "cause" aka desire to rule.
