Free Abortions And No Prisons: 6 Craziest Beliefs Of The Socialist Faction Infiltrating The Democrat Party

ew York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani and Minneapolis mayoral candidate Omar Fateh have more in common than campaigns to run major cities in the United States. Both are under 40 and elected members of their state houses. Zohran, 33, is a member of the New York State Assembly; Fateh, 35, is a Minnesota senator. Both are charismatic, Muslim, and are members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), running on the Democrat ticket with radical, socialist ideas.

DSA is not a political party, but it is acting like one. It is a parasite taking over the Democrat party, which means it is becoming harder for traditional Democrat candidates to rise within the party. Every Democrat candidate should be scrutinized for policy ties to DSA, even if they don’t advertise the connection.

As the traditional, old Democrat Party is cannibalized by DSA members, voters should understand that the DSA aims to fundamentally change the United States. The DSA calls the Constitution “ossified.” Its socialist platform is so radical that the DSA essentially proposes trashing the Constitution completely, developing a “new political order,” and writing “founding documents of a new socialist democracy.” If allowed to flourish, DSA will render the U.S. society as we know it unrecognizable.

Here is a closer look at some of the DSA’s platform that rarely, if ever, come up during campaign speeches.

Muslim Socialist Senate Candidate Goes There When Talking About Trump and His Fans: “When They Go Low…We Take Them to the Mud and Choke Them Out!” 

One of the most radical Democratic candidates for office in America seemingly issued a call for violence against President Trump and his supporters yesterday.

As WMUK reported, Senator Bernie Sanders (Socialist-VT) visited Kalamazoo, Michigan, on Saturday as part of his “Fighting Oligarchy” speaking tour.

While there, Comrade Bernie was joined by Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, a Muslim and fellow socialist.

While speaking at Western Michigan University’s Miller Auditorium before thousands of Bernie fans, El-Sayed bragged about his ability to supposedly challenge the establishments of both parties before his speech took a dark turn.

“We need Democrats who have the courage to stand up to the power brokers in our own party, let alone Trump and his goons,” El-Sayed said to wild applause. “We don’t back down.”

“When they go low, we don’t go high,” he added as the crowd continued to roar. “We take them to the mud and choke them out!”

Notice how the crowd never stops cheering throughout.

Leftists Still Want To Abolish the Family

Early last month, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)sponsored a panel on the family at the organization’s Socialism Conference 2025. The organization described the topic this way: “How should the left relate to the family? Socialist analysis makes clear that the nuclear family form is an inherently repressive, racist, and hetero-sexist institution that functionally reinforces and reproduces capitalism.”

The roundtable featured Olivia Katbi, the co chair of Portland DSA;  Eman Abdelhadi, an assistant professor and sociologist at the University of Chicago; and Katie Gibson, a Teaching Fellow at the University of Chicago.

  • “When we talk about family abolition, we’re talking about the abolition of the economic unit… all of our material needs taken care of by the collective.”
  • “We argue for abolition of the family in general… the institution of the family acts as part of the carceral system.”

Naturally, these leftists partly want to abolish the family because they agree with Marx that the family is a “bourgeois” institution that must be destroyed in order to clear the way for the socialist utopia. Another element of opposition to the family comes from the Left’s bizarre preoccupation with commodifying sex. It is ironic that these “anti-capitalists” seek so vehemently to turn sex into an economic commodity, but this appears to be a key tenet of leftist thinking in recent decades. Thus, they seek to normalize sex work. This is partly because the Left views marriage as a type of sex work itself. After all, the family is “inherently repressive,” and all sex within marriage is essentially rape. It is therefore “progress” to abolish marital sex and replace it with “sex work.”

Zohran Mamdani Opposes Charter Schools in NYC, Even Though He Went to a Private School

New York City Democrat candidate for mayor, and noted communist, Zohran Mamdani has gone on record saying that he opposes charter schools in the city.

When Mamdani came to the United States as a child, he attended the Bank Street School for Children, a private school that charges $37,554 – $68,793 in tuition, according to Wikipedia.

There are two important issues in play here.

First, charter schools are important because they offer an alternative to traditional public schools, which frequently benefits minority children. Second, charter schools are typically opposed by teacher unions who correctly see these schools as a form of competition for public schools. As a Democrat candidate, Mamdani is undoubtedly depending on the support of teacher unions in the mayoral election.

The New York Post reports:

Zohran Mamdani’s vow to declare war on charter schools if elected NYC mayor sparks outrage from parents, advocates: ‘Very misinformed’

Socialist Zohran Mamdani plans to declare war on charter schools if he’s elected mayor, according to a survey he answered — sparking outrage from advocates and parents who called the front-runner’s views “very misguided.”

The 33-year-old Queens assemblyman said he would fight efforts to open more charters, which largely educate minority, working-class students, and even opposed the schools sharing space in city-owned buildings.

“I oppose efforts by the state to mandate an expansion of charter school operations in New York City,” he said in a Staten Island Advance questionnaire before the June 24 Democratic primary.

Mamdani’s hostility to charter schools — which are privately run and publicly funded — puts him in sync with the United Federation of Teachers union, which endorsed him in the November general election following his primary victory over ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo and others.

So typical for the left. School choices for me but not for thee.

Proof That Leftists Want To Completely Abolish The Nuclear Family

Far left Marxists recently hosted an event in Chicago where a panel argued that the traditional family unit needs to be destroyed because it’s “inherently repressive and racist.”

Yes, really. This is what the left wants for America.

Libs of TikTok has the details of the event that was held last month by National Democratic Socialists of America.

A description of the event from their own materials reads as follows:

“How should the left relate to the family? Socialist analysis makes clear that the nuclear family form is an inherently repressive, racist, and hetereo-sexist institution that functionally reinforces and reproduces capitalism.”

Democratic Socialists of America Panel Says They Want to Abolish the Family, Perform Abortions in Churches

During a recent event for the Democratic Socialists of America, panelists argued in favor of performing abortions in churches and dismantling the family unit, among other completely insane things.

It’s very important to remember that these people are the ones driving the candidacy of Zohran Mamdani in the New York City mayoral race. If he were to win that election, these people would have his ear.

The fact that they are saying these things so openly indicates that their confidence is very high, although that confidence might be misplaced.

The Post Millennial reports:

The panel, titled “The Left and the Family: A Roundtable,” took place on July 4 and was part of the Socialism Conference in Chicago. The video was uploaded to YouTube on Friday, and DSA wrote in the caption that the nuclear family is “an inherently repressive, racist, and hetero-sexist institution that functionally reinforces and reproduces capitalism.”

Speakers included Emily Janakiram of New York City for Abortion Rights, University of Chicago sociologist Eman Abdelhadi, Katie Gibson of the University of Chicago, and BDS activist and Portland DSA member Olivia Katbi. Throughout the discussion, panelists linked capitalism and the nuclear family, calling both oppressive systems in need of transformation.

Katie Gibson claimed that children born into low-income families are “treated as if they have committed a crime,” and criticized the legal authority of parents, saying, “If you are born into a home headed by a Christian fundamentalist tyrant, for instance, you have the rights that that Christian fundamentalist tyrant gives you.” She also drew a comparison to President Donald Trump as a tyrant for children under state care.

Elizabeth Warren Says Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani is the Future for Democratic Party

Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts publicly voiced her support for New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani during a visit to the city on Monday, praising the Democratic socialist’s economic platform as aligned with the core messaging of the Democratic Party.

Mamdani, who won the Democratic nomination for mayor in June, has yet to secure broad support from many of New York’s Democratic establishment leaders.

Still, Warren said she believes Mamdani represents the direction the party should be moving.

Speaking at an affordable childcare event in New York City, Warren said Mamdani is focused on addressing the financial struggles of working families and should be seen as a model for the party nationwide.

“Come talk about affordability for families,” Warren said, responding to critics of Mamdani’s policies.

Democratic Socialists Of America Call For ‘Dismantling Of The Nuclear Family’

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) recently called for the “dismantling” of the traditional nuclear family and traditional family structure in a panel discussion published by the party.

The panel, titled “The Left and the Family: A Roundtable,” took place during the DSA’s Socialism Conference in Chicago, which took place over the July 4 holiday weekend. In a video uploaded to YouTube this past Friday, the party’s official account wrote that “the nuclear family is “an inherently repressive, racist, and hetero-sexist institution that functionally reinforces and reproduces capitalism.”

Speakers included Emily Janakiram of New York City for Abortion Rights, University of Chicago sociologist Eman Abdelhadi, Katie Gibson of the University of Chicago, and BDS activist and Portland DSA member Olivia Katbi, according to a report from The Post Millennial. Throughout the discussion, panelists railed against the links between capitalism and the traditional nuclear family, arguing that both systems are “oppressive” and in need of transformation.

Gibson claimed that children born into low-income families are “treated as if they have committed a crime,” before arguing that parents have no legal authority of their children. “If you are born into a home headed by a Christian fundamentalist tyrant, for instance, you have the rights that that Christian fundamentalist tyrant gives you,” she said.

Janakiram quoted former Burkina Faso leader Thomas Sankara, a popular figure in the pan-African movement. “The only real difference between marriage and prostitution is the price and duration of the contract,” she said before to the institution of marriage to prostitution. “The institution of marriage can only exist alongside the criminalization of sex workers,” and added, “Women lead the fight against capitalism and imperialism, period.”

Abdelhadi, who claimed she was taking the more “moderate” refused to even utter the word family, instead referring to it as “the F word.”

“I’m ambivalent about whether we use the F word [family] or not,” Abdelhadi said. “But I think for me it’s about focusing on policies, right, and being really clear about what material benefits we are gonna give people.”

A number of prominent Democrats, including New York City Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), and a number of additional lawmakers have longstanding ties with the party.

Democratic Socialism Is Totalitarianism

After writing about the upset election win of socialist Zohran Mamdani in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary, a reader sent me an angry email, telling me that Mamdani was a “democratic socialist,” and that Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez were “social democrats.” The sender apparently wanted me to believe that all they wanted was to make New York and the United States into Denmark.

After all, isn’t Denmark one of the world’s happiest countries? Doesn’t it have a $22 minimum wage? (Actually, it has no federal minimum wage). Doesn’t it have wonderful welfare benefits along with lots of personal freedom? So, if we can just elect the kind of politicians that want to turn the US into Denmark, then we should do it.

There are some issues, of course.

For one, Denmark is far from a socialist country and it certainly does not have a socialist planned economy. This is an important point, because AOC, Sanders, and Mamdani all have called for substantial government planning and ownership and Mamdani has gone even further. The socialist online magazine Jacobin recently praised Mamdani precisely because he does call for the full socialist economy:

No one should be surprised that Zohran Mamdani supports democratic control over the economy, the end goal of socialism. But he won because he combined socialist politics with practical solutions to the cost-of-living crisis facing working people.

At a 2021 conference of the Young Democratic Socialists of America (YDSA), Zohran Mamdani discussed various short-term reforms favored by the organization. But alongside offering his thoughts on the groups’ immediate aims, he also had something to say about “end goal” of socialist politics: “seizing the means of production.”

In the last week, the clip resurfaced on right-wing social media, where it’s been treated as a damning discovery about Mamdani, who just won a primary to become the Democratic nominee for mayor in New York City.

National Review ran a brief item on the clip under the headline “Uh, That’s Literal Communism!” On CNN, Scott Jennings concurred, saying that Mamdani was “using the language of the Bolsheviks.” Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) said that this was “the scariest thing Mamdani has said” and that it was “straight out of Karl Marx’s Communist playbook.”

It’s unclear why these remarks about the end goal of socialist politics are supposed to be shocking.

There is much to process in this short passage, and it speaks volumes about so-called democratic socialists. For that matter, that socialists would want to identify with the Jacobins speaks volumes to their intentions, given that the Jacobins were the first political party to organize and carry out political terror complete with mass executions during the French Revolution. Second, by claiming that “democratic control over the economy” means the state “seizing the means of production,” they speak to the totalitarian and violent nature of their “democratic” beliefs. One does not “seize” anything without coercion. As Jacobin editor Bhaskar Sunkara bragged in a recent interview, “We were not trying to hide Marxism.”

Meet Omar Fateh, the Next Zohran Mamdani, Running for Mayor of Minneapolis

Minneapolis may be getting its own version of New York Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani. State Sen. Omar Fateh, a self-proclaimed democratic socialist and the first Somali American and Muslim to serve in the Minnesota Senate, is running for mayor of Minneapolis on a platform of pro-illegal immigration, anti-police, and anti-Israel policies.

Fateh (D), who once accused Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) of white supremacy for opposing taxpayer-funded college for illegal aliens, is running for mayor of Minneapolis. He has advanced far-left legislation, including a proposal to provide free college tuition to households earning under $80,000 a year, regardless of their documentation status, which he defended as necessary to expand opportunities for “all Minnesotans.”

In a campaign video posted to X, Fateh unveiled a platform echoing New York-style socialism as he vowed to “protect our city from a hostile White House” and block local cooperation with federal immigration authorities.

“Protecting all of our communities from Donald Trump means not letting MPD interact with ICE, whether it’s for an immigration raid or not,” Fateh remarked. “Our residents deserve a mayor that will stand up to Donald Trump and say ‘No, not in our community.’”

Fateh’s campaign also calls for implementing carbon fees approved by the City Council, investing in programs to prioritize the transition of the city’s vehicle fleet to electric vehicles, and expanding “alternative” public safety initiatives like the Behavioral Crisis Response (BCR) team, which provides non-police responses in certain emergency situations.

Fateh also pledged to raise the city’s minimum wage to $20 per hour by 2028 and proposed lobbying the State of Minnesota to allow Minneapolis to implement a local income tax aimed at higher earners. “I will lobby the State of Minnesota to allow the City of Minneapolis to institute a local option income tax to ensure the wealthy pay their fair share,” his campaign website reads.

In 2022, a campaign volunteer for Fateh’s primary bid, Muse Mohamud Mohamed, was convicted of lying to a grand jury during a voter fraud investigation. Mohamed falsely claimed he had submitted absentee ballots on behalf of three voters at their request, but prosecutors presented evidence that the individuals had neither authorized him to do so nor knew who he was.
