Socialist Influencer Hasan Piker Praises Mao: The Truth About Chinese Communism
Robby Soave of Reason.com critiques the rising influence of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), focusing on far-left commentator Hasan Piker, who recently spoke at a College Democrats event dressed in Mao Zedong-style attire. Soave argues that Piker's admiration for Mao reflects the DSA's authoritarian tendencies, citing Mao's catastrophic Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution. The article warns that DSA candidates are winning Democratic primaries, pushing policies like collectivization of food, education, and energy, and calling for scrapping the U.S. Constitution. Soave also links DSA figures to support for terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, citing a livestream featuring several prominent leftist politicians. The piece concludes that the DSA poses a serious threat to the Democratic Party and U.S. capitalism.
