You mean Antifa? Those aren't leftists, those are anarchists. They believe that government is incapable of protecting against fascism, and are instead committing vigilante violence. This doesn't represent the "left", who would instead fight fascism through constitutional and judicial protections.

They only thing Antifa has in common with the left, is they both hate fascism. But they have completely different views on the role of government.
