The left have had incidents of violence and you can look at obstinately left-wing governments in Venezuela to see plenty of things that should also be unequivocally condemned. Corbyn was rightfully criticised for this attempts to portray an oppressive government in Venezuela as equal to the people protesting them even though it's true that the opposition seem to have committed questionable acts as well. That is because one side was so clearly worse that it's wrong to draw equivalence between them. We rarely look back on WW2 and say the French Resistance were as bad as the Nazis they were resisting.
The same is true here. There should be apologism or deflection from the fact that there was a Neo-nazi rally. They were not as bad as each other at the weekend. There was one group that were
literal Nazis and that should be taken seriously. Someone was killed, it seems, by one of these Nazis. This wasn't a ambiguous alt-right group that object to being called Nazis either. They were proud Nazis waving Nazi flags and quoting Nazis slogans. One reason I would suggest they're so bold is because the average resistance to them isn't as strong which is shown by a President reluctant to single them out for special rebuke.
This isn't about left vs right. It's about Nazis vs everyone else. If there was a pro-ISIS march that resulted in a death we wouldn't concern ourselves with questioning those who opposed them.

And to highlight that comparison Illinois Senate have passed a bill calling for Neo-Nazis to be classed as a terrorist group:
