'Experts in homegrown extremism say it’s not so simple — Hodgkinson had no known association to any left-wing extremist group. '
'It made Levin wonder if in his focus on the obvious subject — the white supremacists — he’d overlooked a growing source of extremism: the far left. “At that point, I said we have something coalescing on the hard left,” Levin told VICE News. '
'I’m very concerned about it,” he said. “What we’re seeing is the democratization of extremism and the tactics of radicalism. '
