Politically motivated threats of brutal physical violence covers pretty much every war ever. Much to broad a definition
Violence against fascists just sounds like plain old self-defense to me.
It also describes a lot of the US' police system.

Politically motivated is the question. I think it's often economically or racially motivated, and hopefully motivated by illegal actions, but not usually politically motivated.
To be fair, what is and isn't legal is a political issue, so violence used to enforce laws is definitionally political violence. I think the more important issue is whether that violence is justified, which it is sometimes but often is not (this goes for the police in a large number of nations, not just the United States).
