The Jihadism is just Terrorism in the name of their religion.

That's it's own category.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-wing_terrorism

Modern left-wing terrorist groups in the United States developed from remnants of the Weather Underground and extremist elements of the Students for a Democratic Society. Between 1973 and 1975, the Symbionese Liberation Army was active, committing bank robberies, murders, and other acts of violence. Most notably, the group kidnapped heiress Patty Hearst.[11] During the 1980s, both the May 19th Communist Organization (M19CO) and the smaller United Freedom Front were active. A 1994 study found "the actual number of acts of terrorism committed by left-wing groups accounted for about three-fourths of all officially designated acts of domestic terrorism in America. About half of these leftist acts were committed by Puerto Rican groups, while the rest were committed by traditional leftist terrorist groups like M19CO".[12] After 1985, following the dismantling of both groups, one source reports there were no confirmed acts of left-wing terrorism by similar groups.[13]

Incidents of left-wing terrorism dropped off at the end of the Cold War (circa 1989), partly due to the loss of support for communism

Yes, Left Wing Terrorism has subsided in the US due to the end of the Cold war.

Doesn't mean they're gone on a global scale.

And with ANTIFA and their rise with modern Political Actions of the Left, it's still a ongoing issue and cause for concern.

As far as Right Wing Terrorism, that's a more recent trend due to politics and is largely being clamped down upon by the Government.
