Victor Davis Hanson criticizes modern leftist movements

Victor Davis Hanson has criticized modern leftist movements, arguing that they utilize any means necessary to achieve mandated equality and fairness. He draws parallels between current political actors and historical groups such as the Jacobins, Marxists, and Bolsheviks.

Hanson specifically cited podcaster Hasan Piker for allegedly celebrating the assassination of activist Charlie Kirk and making controversial statements regarding the 9/11 attacks. Additionally, he highlighted the campaign of Angie Nixon, a radical socialist who won a Democratic primary for a Senate seat and is moving toward a runoff in Florida. Hanson noted Nixon’s characterization of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as slave catchers and her criticisms of the U.S. government.
