"Left-wing extremism is future oriented, seeking to reform or destroy an existing system prior to building a new and just society."

"But the fact remains that there were and are similarities between right- and left-wing extremism not to be overlooked"

According to Hugo Müller-Vogg acts of violence caused by right-wing extremism went up in 2015 from 990 to 1,408 incidents, an increase of 42%, violence from left wing extremists rose from 995 to 1608, an increase of 62%. Müller-Vogg says these facts were barely reported by the German media.
