The left's political violence problem: From Charlie Kirk to Luigi Mangione

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss whether the political left has a problem with violence in the wake of the recent Charlie Kirk assassination. They examine in particular how the far-left lacks self-policing and how ideologies rooted in oppressor-versus-oppressed frameworks can legitimize violence as a tool of resistance. They emphasize the need for progressive leaders to actively condemn political violence rather than contextualize or rationalize it.
