We should have learned decades ago that we ignore what fringy leftists are doing at our own peril. Tragically, too many Americans hadn’t yet learned that lesson when the Summer of Love riots in support of a drug-addled, cop-resisting criminal in Minneapolis who died while resisting arrest bloodied our streets. That was followed not long after by riots in support of savage Islamist terrorists. The mostly anarchical protestors who live and move among us were shaped by non-diverse, non-inclusive faculty at our institutions of indoctrination filled to the brim with ideological lemmings who hate with a seething passion conservative principles.
So, we better pay attention to what the growing radical movement is doing while the rest of us go about the good business of building normie families.
Over the Independence Day holiday, the Democratic Socialists of America had a four-day workshop titled Socialism 2025 (take a gander at the sessions) at the Hyatt Regency in Chicago. While most of the country celebrated America’s founding, socialists met to promote ways to destroy it by abolishing the police, capitalism, the nuclear family, and tiny humans.
Panelists ostensibly committed to eradicating bonds of oppression wore useless COVID-era masks, identified their pronouns as dictated by “trans” cultists, and referred to fellow panelists as “comrade” to signal their allegiance to the cause. So much freedom, so much liberation, so much independence.
The panelist whose presentation has garnered the most attention is Daniel Goulden, a nonbinary writer (pronouns they/them—obviously). His presentation exposed how scarily radical New York City’s likely next mayor Zohran Mamdani is and points to the impending fiscal nightmare Mamdani will visit upon New Yorkers:
Um, you know, we … trans people … make up like what, like 3% of the population or something, like some incredibly small amount, but to see so many people come out and to see like when you’re an organizer, you know which topics there’s like an electricity behind. … trans rights were one of those topics. … [W]e collaborated with the Zohran Mandani campaign on his trans rights platform, and what we explicitly wanted to do was use the power of New York City to provide free gender affirming care. … Free gender affirming care not just to people in New York City but across the country.
There’s no reason at all that we can’t use telehealth and mailing prescriptions to people across the country to undermine state bans. The Zohran campaign was always eager to work with us. … We wrote the platform with him. The team was so happy to work with us on this. And now he’s going to be mayor. And all of a sudden, my work shifts from being on the outside to thinking about how to utilize the fairly significant municipal power of New York City. It’s … incredibly exciting. And I think that the model that we used in New York is 100% replicatable both in terms of our trans organizing but also getting Zoran elected mayor.
When Mamdani is done, NYC will be broke, dangerous, and overrun with drag queens.
But the sexually deviant nonbinary Goulden wasn’t the only comrade with a dystopian message. Another was Sophie Lewis, a British lesbian hell-bent on destroying the nuclear family about whom I had the displeasure of writing five years ago.
In 2020, Lewis said this about killing humans in their mother’s wombs, positioning pregnant women as oppressed workers:
In the past the strategies that our side has tended to use have included a kind of ceding of ground to our enemies. We tend to say that abortion is, indeed, very bad, but we say, “Luckily it’s not killing, luckily it’s just a healthcare right.”
We have very little to lose at the moment when it comes to abortion, and I’m interested in winning radically. And I wonder if we could think about defending abortion as a right to stop doing gestational work.
Abortion is, in my opinion … a form of killing. … that we need to be able to defend. I am not interested in where a human life starts to exist. … The other end of the spectrum is learning to die well . . . and let each other go at the end of our lives as well as the beginning.
But looking at the biology of this kind of hemochorial placentation helps me think about the violence that, innocently, a fetus metes out vis-à-vis a gestator. And that violence is an unacceptable violence for someone who does not want to do gestational work. The violence that the gestator metes out to essentially go on strike, or exit that workplace, is an acceptable violence.
At the time I wrote,
Now that panicked, anti-life dogmatists can no longer deny that the product of conception between two humans is a human, they’ve shifted into rhetorical overdrive, saying, “Well, of course, it’s human, but it’s not a person,” the womb is a “work place,” pregnancy is “gestational work,” and human gestation is “violence.” At least she admitted abortion kills.
But after acknowledging that abortion “is a form of killing,” Lewis admits to being completely uninterested in figuring out if the living thing being killed is a human life. In admitting such extraordinary incuriosity (especially for a scholar), she implicitly concedes that abortion may kill a human being. Only sociopaths have no qualms about killing innocent humans.
In addition to being morally flawed, her statement is nonsensical. It’s inarguable that the object growing in a woman’s womb is living because you can’t kill something that is non-living, and Lewis admitted abortion is killing. And it’s inarguable that the product of conception between two humans is a human. Lewis knows that abortion kills, she knows that the thing abortion kills is alive, and she knows that the living thing abortion kills is a human.
What the heck is “hemochorial placentation,” you may be asking yourself, and how does it do “violence” to “gestators”? Defining it is easy-peasy. “Hemochorial placentation” is a $10 technical term that refers to the natural process by which a mother’s body sustains her developing offspring by bathing his or her chorion (outer layer of tissue enveloping the baby) in nutrient-rich blood (hemo) via the placenta (placentation).
Hemochorial placentation doesn’t mete out violence—innocently or otherwise—unless, of course, “violence” is redefined to include non-violent, natural processes. Lewis needs to redefine this natural process as violence in order to justify the actual violence mothers and their hired killers mete out to humans in the womb—tiny humans that have no part in or cause the alleged “violence” of “hemochorial placentation.”
Lewis, author of the book Full Surrogacy Now: Feminism Against Family, should be able to notice the difference between letting “each other go at the end of our lives” and voluntarily snuffing out others at the beginning of their lives.
Lewis was invited to the Socialism 2025 event not to talk about the abolition of humans but to talk about the abolition of the nuclear family, which she sees as miserably failing at the task of “deeply, profoundly, unconditionally, selflessly, uncalculatedly” caring for children. In Lewis’ disordered mind, the community with no intrinsic ties to children can provide far superior care.
Lewis’ doctrinaire revolutionary project involves abolishing capitalism and collectivizing childrearing. Of course, that would eradicate the profit motive that impels people to work hard and eradicate the natural and powerful human impulse to protect and nurture one’s own children. Lewis” project is doomed to fail both children and society.
Panelist Brian Bean, a “Chicago-based socialist activist, writer, and speaker,” also has a plan destined to harm America. He wants to abolish capitalism and the police:
[Y]ou can’t imagine an end to the police without ending capitalism. That’s common sense. But what does that actually mean? … The end of the police, abolishing them, that’s not the end of the story. That’s when it starts. That’s when we have the space to dream about and make the world we want to come into place. … We need to get rid of them, run them off the street, and finally we don’t have them on our backs, harassing us, shooting us, hurting us … now we can remold the world in a democratic way.
Bean doesn’t yet have a plan for a post-police America. Not to worry, though. He’ll start brainstorming ways to protect Americans from thugs, thieves, rapists, and murderers after he gets the police off his back.
University of Chicago assistant professor/activist—mainly activist—Eman Abdelhadi confessed her reasons for working at a university she loathes:
I don’t care about this institution. Like I don’t—like fuck the University of Chicago. It’s evil. … It’s a colonial landlord….
And a place where I have access to thousands of people that I potentially organize. … this is where I need to build power. … [T]his is my best possible structural leverage.
She actually said the quiet part aloud. Abdelhadi has no commitment to the University of Chicago’s motto: “Let knowledge grow from more to more; and so be human life enriched.” Instead, she is using her position to acquire power and create activists who will serve political goals antithetical to truth and decency.
This is yet another reminder to keep your kids out of institutions of indoctrination where propaganda is systemic.
Mamdani, Goulden, Lewis, Bean, Abdelhadi, and dozens of other likeminded socialist abolitionists have their occluded eyes fixed directly on “remolding” America in their image.
Americans: Pay attention, teach your children well, speak truth boldly, vote.
Everywhere socialism/communism has been tried, it has failed. The people become impoverished and dispirited, and a powerful corrupt ruling class emerges. Chicago is a fitting location for a socialist conference.
