Joke: Defense with a Copy of The Communist Manifesto and a Torch

How would a right-winger, a libertarian, and a left-winger defend themselves from an aggressor if they each a copy of The Communist Manifesto and a torch, while in nighttime?

A right-winger would throw the torch at the aggressor and use The Communist Manifesto as a shield.
A libertarian would set The Communist Manifesto on fire with the torch, throw the book at the aggressor, and keep the torch.
A left-winger would use the light from the torch to read The Communist Manifesto, then tell the aggressor “it’s society’s fault*.”*
