I don't follow much of the Alt-right, so I have some idea about their platform but not in full details.
There are many things wrong with their platform in that much of it is stupid and economically will lead to disasters over the short and mid term range, and the fact that many of them for some reason have a tendency to align themselves with fascists and supremacists and many other things.
But when talking regarding the left, its not really hard to see where the end goal is in accordance with the stated ideological groundwork.
The sought end of any class struggle is to end that class struggle with the oppressed taking power from and over the oppressor.
The end goal for the far left movements in North America is to take power, and if they have to "break a few eggs", if so to say, in the way to accomplish their goals, then they'll do it.
Lets not forget that the mainstream left wing movements in the US in general just happens to be funded by powerful, influential and rich individuals who would benefit greatly from the accomplishment of the movement goals.
The difference between them and other groups currently I would say is that they're populists in the true sense, in that I do believe they're intending to bring things like healthcare and education and better law enforcement and justice system for all once they fully take power. The problem I see with them is that they want to fully take power and historically speaking, it wont be very long before this power corrupts them as it does appear to already start corrupting large sections of the left movements in the west as they're growing more and more in power.
