Your statement gave me pause. I actually had to stop and think about that. No only does the agenda of the left involve violence (in using the force of the state), but in the last decade, at least, the failure to indoctrinate society as whole to their agenda has led to violence in the form of protests and just the use of language by the left has become much more violent and hysterical.
I will say that the most disturbing aspect of those who proclaim to be on the left of the political spectrum are being pushed along by people who support violence against anyone who holds a different opinion then they do and even against people they claim to be "fighting the good fight" for, when those people do not walk in lock step with their agenda.
Many of them espouse government tyranny, involuntary servitude, and wage slavery. I support none of those three, thus I cannot support liberalism/progressivism. Nearly all of them espouse mindless collectivism over individual liberty and personal responsibility. I do not support that philosophy, thus I cannot support liberalism/progressivism.
"Wrong" is a relative term, but for those who feel as I do, the left wingers are wrong.
Even THAT is debatable since so many students were aggressively throwing their grub away because it would have been too painful to eat it.
Good nutrition turned into a punishment.

Because taxation for national security is used solely for the protection of the nation and is not taken from one group of individuals to give to another group of individuals for purely political reasons.
That is why the federal government has no role in health care, in LGBT.... issues, in education, in abortion, or in any other issue that is used solely for political purposes and has nothing to do with the protection of the United States and it's citizens or relating to interstate commerce.
Education? Are you saying all education should be private?
