The left’s youth movement is not grassroots. Schools, unions, and activist groups have helped turn children into political recruits.
In New York City, three Democratic Socialists of America members recently won their primaries, pushing out two longtime incumbent Democrats. Far-left influencer Hasan Piker celebrated the victories by declaring, “It’s the decade of socialism. It’s coming to a neighborhood near you.”
Piker has called the Republican Party the world’s “biggest terrorist” and recently stated that Israel, in its current form, “does not have a right to exist.”
Far-left activists are using the education system to undermine Western institutions and advance a fundamentally different political vision. Socialist and neo-communist partisans such as Piker and the Democratic Socialists of America are gaining momentum in major cities. Many Americans do not realize that these far-left “people’s movements” often are not grassroots uprisings at all. They are driven by billionaire-funded activist organizations and progressives with elite academic backgrounds.
