You oppose all authoritarian or totalitarian regimes, but the right wing ones seem to garner more of your attention.

But OK, let's go with that.

If a government like Allende's is taking power(or Castro or Ho or Pol Pot) what would you have those who do not want to be enslaved do? Doesn't someone have to stand up and fight?

And what do you think such a war in the US would look like? You think ideological wars only take place on the battlefield in nice uniforms with flags from every tank and position?

If there was a major leader of a Communist/Nazi/whatever cell who posed as a professor, what would you do in a crisis? Bring him to trial? For what?

By your argument even espousing treasonous or freedom-hating views is protected speech, even if you coordinate with others to erode and destroy the civic institutions of the country or society. What protection would we have? And if such activity is protected, what due process can there be for the "teflon terrorists?"

No one is praising a left wing authoritarian or totalitarian regime.

Fight yes. Execute citizens without trials no.

Treason should be punishable by death. How would you even begin to define "freedom-hating views"?
