    The high-profile assassination committed by Luigi Mangione, the enraptured public response, and his impending trial all demand a coherent political response from Marxists. Paired with discussion of the famed trial of Vera Zasulich in 1878, we take up the contemporary left response to Mangioni's actions and discuss how Marxists should understand and respond to the challenges of individual 'terrorism.'
