It's frustrating because people will lump these types of fringe groups in with everyone else who is anti-establishment.. and most of us are not like that at all

Yeah, like with the car burners in Hamburg - they claim to be leftist, so every leftist is a car burner.
(I say claim here because there seems to have been a neonazi group there doing one of the worst plunderings.)
...so leftists were in fact burning cars?
Well, there were Hooligans burning cars. Those don't care about politics.
Then there were those left anarchists who attack shops to burn the TVs in them - anti-capitalists or more anti-consumerists.
Then there were those who, after seeing that, looked at each other and then entered the shops to take out the TVs to steal them. Consumerists you could say ;)
Then there are those who wanted to get provoked by police, and by lo the police played their part here.
The problem starts when you want to know how many cars have burned. I have only seen the result of one ca. 40 people big group walking through Hamburg for 10 minutes without any police stopping them. Those were there to burn cars (and indeed did nothing else on an empty street in the morning).
Until I see any other proof I consider them Hooligans. It is not normal even for the militant leftists to do that, especially in the middle of a living area and in that case I think in the center of "leftism" in Hamburg. The (German) militant groups have also released statements condemning that.
How many cars burned in other places - I have found no numbers.
Maybe. But the whole leftist ideology has no respect for property rights and is based on violence and looting. Also the Nazis were socialists as well. The difference between the two groups is rather small.
If you mean that they say you can't do things with your property that hurts others, then that is true. Wut is that wrong?
