Radical left rhetoric goes beyond violence – it’s a call for anti-American Marxist overthrow
Karl Marx’s ‘Communist Manifesto’ gave leftist troublemakers a roadmap for stirring the cultural pot of violent revolution, and unfortunately, it’s taken root among many political radicals

Violence, among the far left, seems to be a horrible but repetitive theme.
Charlie Kirk’s tragic assassination came at the hands of an alleged hardcore leftist – a member of the transgender community, and an “anti-Fascist.”
The suspect in last month’s horrific mass shooting at a Catholic School in Minnesota was also carried out by someone who was reportedly very heavily influenced by leftist dogma and gender narratives.
This week, a young, radical suspect opened fire on ICE law enforcement at a Dallas, Texas, facility, killing one detainee and injuring two others. According to the FBI, the suspect had written “Anti-ICE” on his bullet casings, and his internet history displayed less-than-desirable searches.
Governor Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) irresponsibly told Stephen Colbert this week that arresting illegal aliens – as ICE does – was an “authoritarian” act implemented by an “authoritarian government.”
In the Second Ward of Houston, Texas, a homeowner erected a Halloween display depicting mannequins hanging by the neck – sporting red “MAGA” hats, the figures hung in effigy, bookended by two coffins.
On Friday, rioters outside an ICE facility near Chicago, Illinois, screamed “SHOOT ICE” and “SHOOT THE F****RS!”
Leftism, at this point, is not an ideology of tolerance or peace. It is an ideology fueled by hatred and chaos – but its overarching goals are complex and rooted in a push for an American collapse that leads to globalism.
There is no longer a shroud of mystery
Leftism can no longer hide behind a shroud of smoke and mirrors. It has been revealed for what it really is: insidious hatred, censorship, gender confusion, and above all, violence.
Gov. Newsom’s words, for example, which claim that ICE – a respected law enforcement agency enforcing federal immigration law – is “authoritarian,” are not only blatantly untrue, but represent dangerous incitement. To perpetuate this narrative amid the stunning threats already facing law enforcement is beyond the pale.
“This language incites violence and terrorism,” said White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller on Wednesday.
He’s right. And as violent groups become increasingly emboldened to commit heinous atrocities on American soil, the complexities of the issue become more exposed. This is more than the average low-information voter throwing rocks through windows or standing on a street corner with an expletive-adorned sign.
This is a key tool from Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto, which demands the violent overthrow of the ruling class, or the bourgeoisie, by an increasingly oppressed proletariat. After this violent domination, the “dictator of the proletariat” would move, in theory, to seize private property and move all forms of production into a collective pot.
Marxism, one could argue, is but the introductory phase of Communism, which places the state as the supreme power and the god of society. In America, this brewing violence is the leftists’ idea of a revolution. Unfortunately, all roads lead to Communism, which eventually gives way to globalism.
The erosion of sovereignty through fear
The open-borders chaos sparked by Joe Biden’s administration was no mere accident or act of insipid stupidity. It was a calculated attempt to shatter the sovereignty of the United States – sovereignty that must remain intact if the nation is to remain strong and supreme against other predatory nations of the world.
Consider the fact that the United Nations – a coalition pushing hard for globalization – actively funded illegal immigration into the U.S., to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars.
President Donald Trump said this week that the UN also provided food, shelter, transportation, and debit cards to illegal aliens – more than 620,000 of them.
This was a direct assault on American sovereignty.
It is American sovereignty alone that stands between the world and total globalization. It is no coincidence that radical leftists are the biggest supporters of open border policies and immigration enforcement – hence the organized push against ICE and federal law enforcement.
Leftist ideology is Marxist, Communist, and globalist. It is a push for all three of these stages. To dismiss it as mere ignorance or lunacy is to fail to recognize the broader scope of this issue.
Many very bad people want the United States to fail so that America can no longer be the bastion of liberty and hope for the world. The deranged and hateful rhetoric you hear from hardcore leftist lawmakers or commentators on mainstream television is no laughing matter.
It’s designed to stir up resentment and hatred toward everything good and virtuous about America.
What to do? Keep speaking out
The best way to combat rising violence in America is to elevate the truth, to engage in civic debate, and to peacefully but powerfully keep fighting the culture battles.
Free speech – as Charlie Kirk taught the nation – is the cornerstone of maintaining civil and productive intellectual debate. Productive conversations can change hearts and minds and can lead to thoughtful and effective leadership changes.
It is free speech that most terrifies the far left, because in speech, there is truth.
Former President Barack Obama recently highlighted his dark beliefs about free speech when he called President Trump’s administration’s recent announcement about autism research “violence against the truth.”
Free speech – or free ideas – is never “violence.” And when the left begins to equate words with “violence,” they are telling you, very clearly, that the dissemination of ideas that contradict their narrative is a threat to their control.
To march forward into the political and cultural battles awaiting over the next few years, one must know what they are dealing with.
“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles,” said Sun Tzu, in The Art of War.
And this is, indeed, an intellectual, political, and spiritual battle. It is up to Americans everywhere to keep the republic, and to do so, they must continue speaking the truth and pushing back against hateful and debased statements from Marxists and globalists in office and on the air.
