Fred Hampton and other Marxists murdered by the American Empire might have a word on this.
Same with Native Americans and Black people, not to mention the state-sanctioned violence against Hispanic immigrants at the southern border

And, you know, like, school children.
That violence usually is a result of failing mental health support during crumbling and dying Capitalism, not the State directly shooting kids, to be clear.
That’s fair. Still seems to be quite a large reluctance to do anything about it, so it seems to “belong” through negligence though.
It’s more of a consequence than a direct choice, we can waffle back and forth on how far consequences of direct decisions extend. You’re largely correct though, but I wanted to draw the distinction that the American Empire is explicitly and violently anticommunist.
“Political violence is never acceptable, now let’s celebrate our war for independence with massive explosions” - Americans, probably
Doesn’t count as political until it’s directed at white people
Unless you are a women, skin color darker than snow, LGBTQ+, non-Christian, or poor. We need to stop acting as if indirect political violence isn’t done all the time in America.
Look who’s talking about political violence
That was a weird sequel.
What’s the rationale behind “there’s no place for political violence” when we’re talking about fascists?
To keep the interest of the capitalist class intact and prevent a Revolution from happening
Ah… Well remember about that time the guillotine was invented? Yeah…
