\u201cTheft is virtue.\u201d \u201cStealing is altruism.\u201d \u201cMurder might be excusable.\u201d \u201cBurn it all down.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n These are the principles of the radical Left. And that radical Left is increasingly embraced by the mainstream Democratic Party.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n You may have heard of Hasan Piker. There have been a ton of New York Times profiles of him. He\u2019s associated with most of the major left-wing Democrats. He\u2019s a podcaster and a Twitch streamer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n He is also monstrously evil.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n He publicly advocates for hatred of America. There\u2019s not a terrorist group, an anti-American, anti-Israel terrorist group, that he doesn\u2019t support. He has advocated for violence against those opposed to his views.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n And the mainstream Left <\/span>loves<\/span><\/i> him. I think that\u2019s because they think that he is bro-coded, meaning that he works out a lot, and speaks the way that your friends from high school might after they read the Communist Manifesto and smoked some pot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n He also zaps his dog, and is a socialist who is quite rich, but hypocrisy does not matter to these folks. Not one iota.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n When you speak of limousine liberals, this dude is a mansion Marxist. He\u2019s worth millions and millions of dollars and owns a huge mansion in Los Angeles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n He\u2019s also willing to travel to Cuba \u2014 a communist hellhole where the average annual income is something like $150 \u2014 and party it up while rationalizing why he should have air conditioning in his nice five-star hotel. His outfits apparently cost roughly four times the annual income of a normal Cuban. He wore a Cartier ring that apparently costs $1,400, and Cartier sunglasses that cost roughly $1,300.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n But remember folks, he is a good Marxist, and he represents certain principles on the extreme Left: that America is evil, private property is inherently bad, and violence is often justified.<\/span><\/p>\n No principles of morality must be adhered to as long as you\u2019re \u201cfighting the system.\u201d The ends of Marxist anarchism justify the means. They justify any behavior, so long as you are aligned with the ends, so you can have a really nice mansion, a $1,400 Cartier ring, and $1,300 Cartier sunglasses in Cuba.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n What we are watching right now on the Left is radical and dangerous leftist garbage.<\/span><\/p>\n The legacy media and the New York Times are trying to turn Piker into a mainstream figure. Inside the Democratic Party, they are succeeding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n What we\u2019re watching right now with the Democratic Party is beyond the intersectional wokeism that previously was the way of the future for Democrats.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n We are well beyond that now.<\/span><\/p>\n When people on the Right say \u201cwoke is dead,\u201d woke may have died, but it\u2019s been replaced by something else, and that is something older: third worldism.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Third worldism is the philosophy that essentially every country on Earth that is poor is poor because of the West. The solution is to tear down the West from the inside. Global redistributionism, destruction of private property, and violence are all justified by the supposed evils of the Western system.<\/span><\/p>\n That\u2019s not something new. That\u2019s something quite old.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In the 1970s, there was the Baader-Meinhof gang, also called the Red Army Faction. They were communists whose entire goal was to tear down the world of capitalism on behalf of Marxism.<\/span><\/p>\n They called for revolution. Ulrike Meinhof, the left-wing radical journalist who founded the group, famously said, \u201cProtest is when I say this does not please me. Resistance is when I ensure that what does not please me occurs no more. Protest is when I say I don\u2019t like this. Resistance is when I put an end to what I don\u2019t like.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n That manifested itself in terrorism by the Baader-Meinhof gang. Meinhof actually wrote an essay defending the Munich massacre of Israeli Olympians by Palestinian terrorists.<\/span><\/p>\n That sounds a lot like the people defending Hamas\u2019s massacre of Jews on October 7<\/span> while defending Hezbollah.<\/span><\/p>\n Which, of course, Piker has done.<\/span><\/p>\n Stefan Aust, who wrote a book on the Baader-Meinhof gang, pointed out that a poll at the time they were active showed that a quarter of West Germans under 40 felt sympathy for the gang. One-tenth said they would hide a gang member from the police, and prominent intellectuals spoke up for the gang\u2019s righteousness. When the gang started robbing banks, newscasts compared its members to Bonnie and Clyde.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This is nothing new. There\u2019s an impulse in human beings that when they do not like the system, they believe it justifies violence, theft of property, evil, and terrorism.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2025\/10\/ben-banner.avif\")
