Horseshoe theory is definitely a thing in that the far left is every bit as hateful, intolerant, and authoritarian as the right, they just direct it at different groups.

The far left for example are very open about calling for murder, rape, and torture of those who disagree with their opinions about gender, are openly racist towards white and Asian people, (who they label as "white adjacent") openly sexist towards men, openly ageist towards older people, and try to destroy the lives of pretty much anybody who doesn't conform to their beliefs, to the point of trying to get people fired from their jobs or harassing and doxing people for expressing non-left views.

Thankfully, the far left currently holds fewer positions of official power compared to the right, in the US anyway, but they're just as big a threat to society and if they had their way we'd be living in a totalitarian dystopia.

I don’t think what you are describing is horseshoe theory though, basically what you’re saying is that violence & intolerance can exist regardless of where you land on the political spectrum.
