since someone's gonna wanna see the numbers
Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists, including 227 events that took more than 520 lives.[1] In this same period, far-left extremists committed 42 ideologically motivated attacks that took 78 lives.
edit: the source for far-left violence didn't load; i wanted to see their methodology
The far-left violence citation links to this paper, which cites the Extremist Crime Database. How they accessed it, I have no idea.
It says on that site that the data can be accessed via Dataverse, but I don't see the ECDB in there. However, the Global Terrorism Database from the same project as the ECDB does seem to be publicly accessible. They mention the T2V (Terrorism and Target Violence in the United States) Data Dashboard on the START website which requires you to request access.
Also, here's an alternative link to what I think is the paper in your first link where it can be viewed without institutional access, since the link in your comment sent me straight to a login page.

Shoot, sorry. That is the same paper.
Lmao they just tossed aside that Muslim extremists are also rightwing. 9/11 sure as shit wasn't because Osama wanted the US to implement free housing and legalize gay marriage.
But Black Dynamite, we are right wing extremists!
Lol, they actually think they can "erase" something from the internet. Cute.
