A Few Highlights from the Socialism 2026 Conference

Torn between posting these here, in Mind Numbing Stupidity or Terrorism In The US, cause all three apply.

Socialism 2026 conference declares GLP-1s stem from 'fat genocide,' demands prison 'abolition,' plans massive May Day 2028 action

During the radical-left Socialism conference in Chicago over the weekend, speakers included DSA-aligned streamer Hasan Piker, radical-left thought leader Angela Davis, and other leaders in the Democratic Socialists of America. Their plans for launching massive efforts for May Day 2028 were discussed, as well as the DSA's desire for prison abolition. One speaker also claimed that the deployment of GLP-1 drugs has come about because the world wants to "genocide" fat people.

Curious how they doublethink their way out of needing to lock up Trump with "it's not ok to say someone should be sent to prison" 

Socialist Conference: Democrats ‘Must Be Destroyed,’ ‘Can’t Be Reasoned With’

“The Democrats cannot be reasoned with - they must be destroyed,” University of California Santa Barbara Professor Butch Ware told a Socialism conference in Chicago over the weekend.

Prof. Ware, a Muslim professor specializing in the history of Islam and Africa, addressed attendees at the conference on Marxism, a brand of Socialism, by telling attendees they have a “tremendous opportunity” – if they destroy Democrats before the Democrats destroy them.

Democrat politicians like Democratic Socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Socialist-supported Democrat Michigan Senate Candidate Abdul El-Sayed aren’t extreme enough – and are even holding the Socialist movement back, Prof. Ware said:

    "We have a tremendous opportunity.

    "But, they are going to keep giving us the Mamdanis and the Abdul El-Sayeds and, in my generation the Obamas, because they are there to contain radicalism. They are there to destroy it and to diffuse it and destroy it and to co-opt it and to purchase it.

“Gunfights” and “war in the streets” are coming, but tough-talking Democrats are only pretending they’re on-board with it, Prof. Ware said:

“Y’all aint dreamed big enough, yet.

Open calls for violence against those who disagree, even if they are Democrats.  I'm not finding attendance or ticket sales numbers (yes, you had to buy a ticket to get into the socialist convention) but the fact there were enough people to hold this thing (annually apparently) is getting very scary.
