It is deeply troubling, yet perhaps not surprising, that 41% of American youth found the killing of the UnitedHealthcare CEO, committed by Luigi Mangione, to be acceptable. For many, this poll is a shock to the conscience. For me, as someone who grew up in Kerala, India—a state governed for decades by Marxists—this result is unsettling but familiar. Allow me to explain.
Each and every one of those in the 41%, I am confident, align with the Marxist-driven ideology of the Democratic Party. Their sense of justification comes not from morality, but from a belief system that dehumanizes individuals based on wealth, power, and class. This is the essence of Marxist thought, an ideology I have seen in action throughout my life, and its moral perversions are unmistakable.

I vividly recall a chilling incident from my childhood in Kerala, one that echoes the brutalities enabled by this mindset. In the early 1970s, in the serene island village of Kumbalam by the Vembanadu Lake, news broke that Abu Haji, a prominent and wealthy member of our community, had been murdered by Naxalites. These extremists were a radical offshoot of the Marxist movement in Kerala. As we walked home after mass that day, my young self, trembling with fear, tightly clutched my father’s hand and asked, “Why would they do this? Was Abu Haji a bad man?” My father’s response was seared into my memory: “No, son, he was a good man. His only ‘crime’ was being rich.”
This moment was a turning point in my life. The fear I felt that day, as a young boy terrified of the senseless violence around me, left an indelible mark. It instilled in me a lifelong hatred for Marxism—an ideology that justifies murder and destruction in the name of class struggle. The ruthless killing of Abu Haji was not just an isolated act but a symptom of a larger, dangerous ideology that thrives on hatred and envy, targeting those who achieve success.
This was my introduction to the ruthless politics of Marxist ideology, where wealth alone can mark someone for death. The murder was not personal; it was ideological—a violent manifestation of class warfare. Over the years, I saw more examples of Marxist violence and political intimidation in Kerala, reinforcing the idea that this ideology thrives on bloodshed and destruction.
For those of us who witnessed such atrocities firsthand, the poll over Mangione’s death is a stark reminder that the seeds of Marxism, once sown, grow into movements that justify cruelty in the name of justice. The United States, historically wary of Marxism, now faces its infiltration into academia, media, and political institutions. What many fear as a fringe philosophy has gained alarming traction, evidenced by young Americans embracing the heartless doctrines of class warfare.

To safeguard the future of this nation, we must confront and eradicate the roots of Marxism on American soil. Just as Kerala witnessed the rise of “ഉന്മൂലന സിദ്ധാന്തം,” or the “Theory of Abolition,” as a means to dismantle capitalism and class hierarchies, we must develop our own counter-strategy to dismantle Marxism. I urge the President-elect Donald Trump to appoint a dedicated “Eradication of Marxism Czar” to address this issue head-on. This office would systematically study the influence of Marxist ideology in American universities and work to eliminate it from campuses, where it takes hold most aggressively.
If left unchecked, the bloodthirsty class warriors of the American Marxist movement will strike again. It is not just a political challenge but a moral imperative to ensure that this nation does not fall prey to the same destructive forces that have plagued societies across the globe. America is exceptional because it has resisted such ideologies; now, we must act decisively to protect that legacy.
