I agree that this is a troubling development and that it poses serious risks.

The alt left also used government power to enforce their ideology though; there are countries where you can be sent to jail for sharing a meme or saying something they deem politically inincorrect.

Care to provide an example of such country or a situation where someone got jailed for what you described? If you're referring to hate speech laws in European countries those have little to nothing to do with alt left.

I also think your comparison of online SJW-mob and what is happening today is silly. Sure sometimes they went over the top looking for things to be upset about, but mostly it was for a good cause of rooting out bigotry, sexual harrasment, discrimination etc. 

As it's the US thread I don't want to derail, but it does happen:
