I call BS on that.
But lets look....

Identity politics isn't exclusive to the left wing though? And more to the point I don't think anybody is defending or promoting communist ideology, they were pointing out that the situation described in the OP would be more accurately described as anarchism rather than communism, especially given that communism has a storied history of authoritarian underpinnings.
Leftist is used to describe people who are hard/far left. So it's fine.

It isn't fine because it is as factually incorrect as saying 'right wing' and 'alt-right' are interchangeable terms. You're specifically referring to radical leftism and the casual/deliberate ignorance of that distinction is both tedious and revealing.
it's more like the talibal or some form of tribal leadership from afghanistan or wherever
Lol. First you equated their "police free zone" with communism. Now you're insisting there was a Stasi police force in action there. You seem very confused.

How's that confusing? You can have both...

As were the East Germans, when they thought that they were communists as well.
Not sure why you were quoting me.
Exactly. I wonder what the average rate of such crimes were when the police were there. Was it lower, the same, or higher ?
Caporegime
Lower.

Current Identity Politics are very much a left-wing philosophy, you only have to look at any crazy sjw type to see it's all they have. I'd be interested in why you would ascertain 'both' sides play that game?
Anarchists are still far left on any political spectrum though, the same as socialism and communism. Considering the chop'ites have one foot rooted in BLM's Marxist ideology I really don't think its much of a stretch to label them with the same brush. Extremism on both sides of the political divide is dangerous, and for me, the current left are far more of a danger to civilised western society than the 'alt-right boogyman'.
Higher policing equates less crime, every single study shows this.
Someone's confused that's true, maybe you should go lay down for a little while. Either that or go and do some reading on the issue
Guess you haven't been keeping up the news much.
According to the protesters the cop-free zones were going to make the communities safer under the guise of "community policing", when when in fact if anything we have seen an increase in violent crimes across the board and the lack of police presence has made emergency services personnel feel so unsafe they are refusing to attend to the areas and no crimes can be investigated because the police are not allowed access to the area.
The point being that the idea was ridiculous and has now been proven to be so with it being much less safe than it previously it was since becoming a lawless wild west patrolled by "community" vigilante cops.

Trump's entire gimmick is using identity politics to divide and conquer.
Anarchism and Authoritarianism aren't left/right, it's a different dimension on the political compass. Anarcho-capitalists are very real (sovcits) in just the same way as authoritarian communists exist.
This is POL101.
that's exactly what the hard left do too

There's never been a hard-left president in power.
Didn't say there had been. The left are doing it throughout society instead of via a president
