At least in the US, "advocacy of the use of force" is not protected by the constitution if it is "directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action" and is "likely to incite or produce such action". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandenburg_v._Ohio

As an example, incitement to riot is a crime: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2102
