    Not answering on the ‘all nazis’ point that just seems to be a wide misunderstanding and was already answered by others.

    On the ‘left wing’ profiling though, I do think that there definitely exists something of the kind, at least in France. I experienced it multiple times, when being controlled on the streets. Each time, only people arrested were ‘alternative’ people (like with a punk look, tracksuits, looking homeless, or just fucked up clothes and long hairs like me). Most of us where white. And all people around with nice clothes and huge baggages were not even looked at. Maybe you don’t see this as ‘left wing’ but that is kinda the only concept i see that could encompass all those groups.

    And of course it is not such a problem as racial profiling, in impact on people and society as well as in numbers, but I really do think it exists.
