Marxist rhetoric has long incited violence—from street riots to targeted attacks—pushing societies toward chaos. Recent American events show the escalation. Both the institutional Left and the institutional Right have incentives to keep the temperature high: division is profitable for fundraising, media attention, and expanding state power.

Enforce laws equally against political violence from any direction. Reject the ideology that treats people as avatars of group identity. Refuse to let either political team turn you into a permanent combatant in their power struggle. Build local resilience, demand accountability from every official, and prioritize individual rights over collective grievances.
