# Far-Left Political Violence Is a Transnational Threat by Gregory LoGerfo > "Violent far-left actors were responsible for 63 percent of recorded anti-government attacks or plots in the United States in 2025, while far-left violence in Germany rose more than 40 percent in a single year; and in Greece, more than 80 percent of radical violence today comes from far-left and anarchist actors. At the conference we heard from other delegations facing similar upward trendlines.
