Walter Hudson, a Minnesota state representative, published a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter) on October 6, 2025, addressing issues related to capitalism, violence, and law enforcement. In his tweets, Hudson comments on the nature of capitalism and criticizes actions he perceives as criminal conduct.

In his first post at 14:59 UTC, Hudson wrote: "Capitalism excludes violence. That's it defining characteristic, free exchange, the absence of force.

By redefining it has 'violence ... interconnected and interdependent' Marxist insurgents create a permission structure for using actual violence in response.

Eyes on. @FBI https://t.co/DiAOIOqfTy"

Shortly after, at 15:02 UTC, Hudson commented on an incident involving law enforcement: "This is criminal conduct. He's assaulting that officer. He should be in jail today. https://t.co/0YdEIJS7SR"

Later the same day at 15:19 UTC, he continued to address the topic of resistance against law enforcement with another post: "They call it 'resistance.'

That's the word they use.

And they target it at law enforcement.

That's a crime in every state and federally. And they're openly organizing it.

Why is this tolerated for even a moment?"

Hudson's remarks come amid ongoing national debates about protests and responses to law enforcement actions. Across the United States, laws exist that prohibit assaulting police officers or interfering with their duties; such acts are classified as crimes under both state and federal statutes.

The reference to "Marxist insurgents" by Hudson reflects broader political discourse where some public figures have linked protest movements or certain activist groups to left-wing ideologies or tactics.
