The Politics of Fear: A Global Summit on Far Left Terrorism The US Department of State hosted a conference on far left terrorism in Washington, D. C. , bringing together representatives from over 65 countries.
On the surface, this gathering appears to address a growing threat. However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that politics are at play rather than substance.
The State Department describes far left terrorism as a "resurgent threat," echoing the Trump Administration's narrative that left wing extremism is responsible for rising political violence in the US.
