New research, based on almost 900 politically-motivated plots and murders in the US since 1994, found only one person's death in the last 25 years was linked to "antifa" or anti-fascists, and the person who died was the attacker.
In comparison, over that same period, 329 murders were linked to the far-right.
When the label was broadened from anti-fascists to left-wing violence, it found 21 victims had been killed since 2010, compared to 117 in right-wing violence in the same time period.
Jihadist groups were responsible for 95 people's deaths since 2010.
The database, which was compiled by a thinktank called the Center for Strategic and International Studies, was launched after Trump's administration spent several months stoking the possibility of left-wing violence, especially during the George Floyd protests.

Guess these don't count.
“Right wing” extremists have killed 329 people?
That’s pretty specific- who?
Hmmm, isn’t the CEO of this so-called think tank a guy with the last name of Pritzker...?
25 years conveniently includes the OKC court house bombing that occured in 1995.
The writer is a TOTAL MORON!
What about that left winger who shot hundreds in Vegas?
Well, a total propagandist, anyway, Annie.
What about that left winger who shot hundreds in Vegas?
Seems like a “No true Scotsman …” sort of analysis.
This guy committed murder, are you counting him? “Well, he’s not a real Leftist, because no true Leftist would commit murder, so we’ll just put him in the far-right extremist category to keep things neat and tidy.”
Should there be a barf alert on this?
Because that’s pretty much what I did when I read it.
Well, I guess technically the people throwing Molotov cocktails, smashing up stores and hitting people with bicycle locks haven’t all killed someone.
No one on the right in elected office is making excuses for violent rioters or other nasty behavior.
Meanwhile, the Left tries to downplay what is going on with all the rioting in many cities.
The article is flawed by politicizing it. McVeigh was every bit as revolutionary and radical as Antifa, or the Weathermen for that matter. He wasn't a Conservative Republican, and was roundly rejected by both parties. OTOH, Antifa is called a myth by Nadler as he quietly urges on their violence.
Classic Marxists non-sense.
Stalin: “it’s not who votes, it’s who counts the votes that matters”
I will just change it a little.......
“It’s not who gets murdered, it’s who decides which political party the murderers were in that matters”
All recent mass shootings were 95% leftists and 5% fascist socialists. I say bull sht.
And Oklahoma was a left wing cover up of philippino islamists, and so was 911 meant to overthrow Bush and paved for Obama muslim brotherhood/ISIS at State
Indeed. Do not look at current Chaz murders, go back in time feminist bull sht.
No agenda from the ‘Center for Strategic and International Studies’
McVeigh was anti-government, and OKC was payback for Waco & Weaver.
I wouldn’t classify that as right, or left, wing.
For the sake of argument, if 329 murders over 25 years was accurate how the hell could that number be significant?
How would 329 murders compare to the total number of murders over the same 25 year period? Or as a percentage of the > 300M population?
I think what they’re really saying is that getting hit by lightning is probably more likely than being killed by a right winger. You know, us right wingers that hold violent protests with burning and looting...
