<...Conservatives do it too.
Sorry. The "everybody does it" dog don't hunt.
Find me one example where conservatives have turned out to literally run a leftist off of a college campus. Find me one example where conservatives have burned books and school papers they did not agree with.
The core philosophy of the Left is power, and its corollary is the moral relativism that allows any action to be "right" if it serves the agenda of power.
That the far Left has the wrong moral code is not correct. What they have tried to do is eliminate the very concepts of judgement and morality, so that they are not only beyond criticism, but that criticism itself becomes an invalid concept. Why do you think any attempt to make a moral judgement in their presence gets the reaction it does?
Once morality, right and wrong, and reason itself are thrown out the window, then pretty much anything goes. Burning books is okay, and silencing your opposition by force is okay. Hell, any damn thing you feel like is okay. Who are you to judge? Who are you to say what is right and wrong? Aren't good and evil just a matter of opinion? (Any of these phrases sound familiar?)
Eventually, deciding to kill a third of your people to serve your agenda, like Pol Pot, becomes perfectly reasonable, too. Eighty million people have died on the altar of totalitarian socialism--not counting deaths in war--in the past century. But I guess I'm just being an extremist again.

No. They don't.
