The Coming Wave of Anti-Corporate Terrorism

By Cliff Kincaid

“To the Feds,” stated terrorist murderer Luigi Mangione in his manifesto. “I’ll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn’t working with anyone.” This in-your-face admission of guilt is obviously a ruse, a ploy to obscure the fact that he got the gun and his fake I.D. with the help of “others unknown.”

Let’s hope the FBI isn’t fooled by this. Mangione isn’t alone. He is just one member of a network of environmental rights extremists, other eco-socialists, and anti-technology activists. Their tactics in the past have included bombings and arson attacks but the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson suggests a new and ominous turn of events, coinciding with President Trump’s return to the White House.

Indeed, this has been the year of the assassins, a terrible time for America as many hope and pray for a new beginning under President Trump, himself the target of two assassination attempts.

Murdered CEO Brian Thompson wasn’t known to be a backer of President Trump but he was viewed by his killer as a symbol of American capitalism and modern industrial society.

This is significant since many believe we are living amid a scientific revolution that includes such innovations as cryptocurrencies, artificial intelligence, new forms of transportation, and space exploration. “The golden age of America is upon us,” President Trump says.

All of that could be challenged by a wave of anti-corporate or Marxist terrorism.

The FBI has to know that Trump and his advisers, especially Elon Musk and other business leaders, are targets.

In this case, however, a legal columnist for the left-wing outlet MSNBC Barbara McQuade got it right when she noted that the killer Luigi Mangione was “serving as judge, jury and executioner for a pattern of corporate conduct that is not known to have violated any criminal laws.” What she did not say was that this is the sign of a killer who believes, as the Marxists do, that private property is itself evil.

Thompson’s company UnitedHealthcare did not create the healthcare marketplace. It provided a service and product to the consumers of health care.

To the Marxists, this is a sin because, in their view, the federal government should run and manage the health care system. They believe that private health care companies are, by their very nature, the problem.

The firm was under investigation but there were no findings of guilt and, in any case, there was no evidence that Thompson himself denied health care to anyone. He was running a successful company that provides important services, such as popular Medicare Advantage plans, to millions of people.

People may have gripes about insurance companies but that doesn’t mean the companies have violated the law and, in any event, they are not guilty of anything when it comes to this left-wing lunatic Mangione. He wasn’t even a client of UnitedHealthcare. McQuade had it right. This was an act of terrorism. What is more, it was left-wing terrorism.

President Trump proclaimed, “This is communism in America,” as the courts proceeded to try to bankrupt him and rob him of his private property. Abolition of private property is the cornerstone of Marxism.

In the case of Brian Thompson, they couldn’t bankrupt his company so they decided to kill him, viewing him as a symbol of the company. This sends a message to other would-be assassins.

From what we can determine, the Ivy League terrorist Luigi Mangione was not an advocate of Marxism per se. Instead, he worshipped the Harvard-trained Unabomber, who hated industrial society and the advances it produced, which have brought material comforts and prosperity to millions. The Unabomber lived in the woods in a cabin, something that our ancestors left behind as human progress was made.

It is likely Mangione was indoctrinated in this philosophy of hatred of capitalism when he attended college,

In college, he would have learned about so-called “surplus value,” which is said to amount to exploitation of workers under capitalism and constitutes one of the major concepts of Marxism. It justifies the hatred of and violence against private property owners – the capitalists.

“The doctrine of surplus value is the corner-stone of Marx’s economic theory,” stated V. I. Lenin. Surplus value may sound esoteric but the concept is necessary in understanding the appeal of Marxism and the basis for revolutionary activity.

The notion of surplus value is supposed to reflect the amount of output that exceeds the cost of the workers to produce a commodity. Under Marxism, this “surplus value,” the source of what is commonly called profit, constitutes exploitation of the workers. It is the basis for government control of the economy and elimination of the property owners once the workers supposedly take charge.

The Communist Manifesto explains how the Marxist agenda is being implemented through centralized planning (abolition of private property), and Cultural Marxism (abolition of the family).

Tax cuts, a return of private property to those who earned it, were part of the agenda of President Trump, who produced an unprecedented economic boom with $3.2 trillion in historic tax relief before China released its deadly virus on the world. That occurred through the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. They must be renewed in 2025.

Mangine made it clear that he was opposed to health care insurance companies as well as oil and gas companies, which he blamed for heating up the planet.

He wrote, “Fossil fuel companies actively suppress anything that stands in their way and within a generation or two, it will begin costing human lives by greater and greater magnitudes until the earth is just a flaming ball orbiting third from the sun. Peaceful protest is outright ignored, economic protest isn’t possible in the current system, so how long until we recognize that violence against those who lead us to such destruction is justified as self-defense.”

This left-wing terrorist was clearly brainwashed by those pushing socialized medicine as well as “climate action” to “save the planet.”

This is their playbook as they move forward in 2025.

The new FBI, under Director Kash Patel, must be prepared.
