Marxism's track record is a litany of failure, famine, and genocide. From its inception to modern implementations, it has claimed over 100 million lives, proving its incompatibility with human flourishing. Learning this history is not about scoring points for one party—it is about recognizing an ideology that both Left and Right elites have used or tolerated when it served their power.

The Paris Commune (1871) was Marxism's first real test—a short-lived uprising crushed after causing chaos. It set the pattern: idealistic rhetoric masking brutal tactics.

Marxism exported worldwide, with devastating results:

Marxist-inspired unrest continues globally and domestically. In the United States, 2025 marked the first time in more than 30 years that left-wing terrorist attacks and plots outnumbered those from the far right (CSIS analysis). High-profile incidents included the September 10, 2025 assassination of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University and multiple attacks and plots targeting ICE facilities and personnel. DHS documented a dramatic increase in assaults on ICE agents during 2025. These events echo the destabilization phase Yuri Bezmenov described.
Learning from history is crucial to prevent future tragedies—whether the ideology is advanced by open Marxists or cynically instrumentalized by any political faction seeking control. [Source: CSIS, DHS statements, Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, contemporary reporting]
Honor the dead by rejecting Marxism in all its forms—economic or cultural—and by refusing to let either major party use identity division as a tool of power. Spread awareness to protect freedom.
