The thing that liberals, Democrats, left-wing think tanks, and others on the Left say never happens, happened again: the scourge of left-wing political violence.
Thankfully, the FBI and other law enforcement officials prevented a tragedy from happening on Sunday, uncovering a terrorist plot to cause death and destruction at the UFC Freedom 250 event. However, as fortunate as everyone was that the latest attempt at left-wing destruction was foiled, it raises the question: When will this country demand an end to the threat of death, assassination, and other devastating left-wing violence by the “No Kings” crowd?
A report of the failed plot revealed that participants wanted to target “billionaires,” “capitalist elites,” or politicians who’ve received money, donations, and political contributions from the “American Israel Public Affairs Committee,” Fox News reported. The emphasis on targeting “billionaires” or “capitalist elites” is the same jargon used by many of the socialist and communist protesters at No Kings rallies and “anti-ICE” demonstrations. These are violent, dangerous people who are ideological sycophants, engaging in the same perilous tactics used by socialists and communists since the Bolsheviks launched their revolution over 100 years ago. It’s a foolish mistake to think otherwise.
But peruse any No Kings protest or any left-wing demonstration, and one will observe such signs vilifying billionaires or other members of the affluent class. The themes embedded in these demonizations are core Marxism, straight from the pages of the Communist Manifesto. Marx and Engels referred to them as the “bourgeoisie” in their 19th-century literary work. In 20th-century Soviet Russia, they were known as the “kulaks.” Today, they’re collectively known by these Marxist disciples as “billionaires” and “the rich.” But while the colloquialisms change over time, the left-wing desire to eliminate its perceived enemies has not.
However, when is enough, enough? How many people have to be killed, or be in danger of being killed, before American society rejects the dangerous tenets and actions of 21st-century neo-Marxism? These ideologues follow the same violent philosophies of yesteryear. They are the contemporary iterations of the wannabe-revolutionary groups of the 1960s and 1970s, such as the Weather Underground, the Symbionese Liberation Army, the New World Liberation Front, and the Black Panther Party. What is it going to take before their threat is rightfully acknowledged as the danger it is?
Detractors would likely dismiss such concerns as an overreaction or hysteria. Yet, consider some of the information contained in the criminal complaint filed against Tycen Proper, the 19-year-old Ohio resident who was one of the suspects involved in the planned terrorist attack. In an interview with law enforcement, Proper said that, in addition to politicians, the attack targeted “wealthy people,” and that the goal was to “jumpstart a revolution” in the country.
It was also discovered that the group Proper was involved with expressed anger over “government corruption, the handling of the Epstein files, and data centers taking up all the water in communities.”
Also, law enforcement found the names of five congressional representatives the would-be terrorists planned to target. All five were Republicans: Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Sen. Jim Justice (R-WV), Rep. Carol Miller (R-OH), and Rep. Riley Moore (R-WV). A group of people, getting together, seeking to cause harm against political rivals, the wealthy class, anger over data centers, and the Epstein files?

They are all among the topics most left-wing agitators, demonstrators, and protesters have been raging against in recent days, weeks, months, and years. These are the themes and ideals espoused by those causing violence at places like Delaney Hall, throwing Molotov cocktails at federal law officers enforcing immigration law, and the people cheering the assassination attempts on President Donald Trump and the actual murder of Charlie Kirk.
This time, the purveyors of left-wing violence and murder were thwarted in their attempts. Next time, we may not be so lucky. Today’s left-wingers and the modern-day Democratic Party are virulent dissidents seeking to cause harm to carry out their political will. They represent a clear and present danger to those who disagree with them politically. And given this recent string of left-wing threats and imminent dangers, Vice President JD Vance said it best:
“I think a lot of my Democratic colleagues in Washington have got to look themselves in the mirror and say, why is so much of this political violence coming from our side of the spectrum?”
