Yeah sure, and what is far lefts position then?
Seize the means of production.
Fuck tradition.
Fuck economics.
Kill the people who resist or disagree, or sometimes also if you just feel like killing them. For the rest, strip away basic rights so that they won't rise up to dismantle the system.

As someone pointed out, perhaps things are a bit different in America, but this is how I see far left generally from Europe.
That sounds like fascism.
State-run communism as it has actually existed and fascism end up with very similar results, not the least because both believed in fast progress, dismantling traditional communities and value systems and everything being run by a strong man with an iron fist. The fascist dictator is supposedly a personification of the will of the "people" or "nation", while the communist one is the same for the "proletariat" or, indeed, the "people". The fact that both systems produce cleptocratic oligarchies that destroy lives of ordinary people is no accident.
This is also why the "extreme left" supposed by the OP is not extreme at all. Some just tend to confuse evend mild and moderate social democracy with genocidal communism, perhaps because their domestic political landscape is fucked up beyond recognition
