How do you define "alt-left"?
Richard Spencer himself defines (or at least characterizes) alt-right as white nationalists. I no of no "progressive" who coined the term "alt-left". There is no alt-left, for "alt" is not simply a euphemistic for "far". Therefore, your use of alt-left is simply propaganda you swallowed from whoever you consider a reliable non-MSM source - especially if you say there's no difference between the "alt-left" and regular left.
So tell me, what exactly is the alt left? Otherwise that's just a bunch of rhetorical hot air.

A+, Mr. In-Between.
Anyone who thinks The Daily Caller is a reliable source also is likely to think InfoWars is reliable too. A few months ago, I even saw a thread about racism at an Iowa high school - with a frigginprepper site as a source article!!!!
After seeing the remarks from such people on this site one gets the impression that they think the proper litmus test for truthfulness/reliability is by how scarily sensational a news site, paper, network, or story is. If that doesn't tell you about their lack of mental and emotional discipline and lack of critical thinking skills, I don't know what does.

What is wrong with you people? Have you no shame in trying to support Trump's racists positions?
When it is shown that any of the presidents on Mt. Rushmore were in favor of seceding from the Union so that they can continue to own and enslave people, yes we can blow it up.
The article does not show anyone on the left wanting to blow things up. And if you support Trump's narrative that it is we are destroying or culture, are you OK with White Supremest groups putting up a statue of Adolph Hitler in your town because he is a part of their history and culture? That is all these statues are, celebrating traitors who were in favor of leaving the Union so they could own people and not pay them for the work they did.
True, and given the pace at which the cultural revolution is proceeding that someday could be tomorrow.
Really?
The alt right or neo nazis' cultural revolution has also been picking up steam....does that mean someday/maybe tomorrow nazis will want to kill everyone not like them....?
Oh wait...that slope has been crossed now and in the past...

Not really a lie, it's actually in the actual Vice article.
"Which made me wonder: If Rushmore ever did get "blown up," what should those dudes be replaced with? Fact is, I'm not sure there is any American president worthy of being etched into the side of a 60-foot mountain with explosives and jackhammers. I mean, every single one has at least been partially complicit in horrific atrocities."
Also, this was legit the headline of the actual article before Vice changed it.

So where do non-violent radicals fall into that alt-left scheme? Where do violent non-radicals fall into it?
I'm sure there are some white nationalists who are both non-violent and also don't advocate violence, yet their beliefs nevertheless qualify as alt-right by virtue of them being white nationalists.
So defining alt-left as the violent and radical left doesn't do anything. You'd do better to simply call them the militant left --- btw, even then, Black Bloq for sure and arguably many Antifa are not liberals of the Bernie Sanders sort. They are anarchists, who hate the touchy feely leftists as much as they hate the conservatives.
Man, the internet has made it possible for you guys to live any right-wing fantasy/narrative you want eh, thanks blogs, social media and YouTube.
The traditional media with it's journalistic integrity is the only keeping you guys in check and you guys can't stand it, which is why you call them fake.
wow. I just saw the words "traditional media" and "journalistic integrity" used in the same sentence.
I am sad for you Eli. very sad.
