As Twitchy has been reporting, the Socialism 2026 conference was held in Chicago over Labor Day weekend, and we've brought you some classic clips courtesy of Stu Smith of the Manhattan Institute. Topics included "Health Fascism, Body Politics, and the Anti-State State," which featured Da’Shaun L. Harrison arguing that the policing of “black fat flesh” is foundational to broader "entire systems of governance." Hasan Piker was just gifted a “Satan’s School of Gay Communism” hat by a pro-abortion activist group. An organizer asked everyone in attendance to wear COVID-19 masks and apologized for the "carceral" act of checking badges.
You can tell that all of these people are over-educated and underemployed. Smith said that City Journal had a man on the ground at the conference, Aidan Grogan, who compiled these clips. This is why it was so important that Christopher Rufo and Gov. Ron DeSantis worked so hard to pull critical race theory out of public school curricula by the roots. I take it that the word of the year at woke colleges this year is "abolitionism." They want to abolish borders, prisons, the nuclear family, and the police. One panelist even says they might have to burn police stations to the ground … oh, wait, they already have.
Get a load of the crazy:
You’ve seen all the Socialism 2026 clips, but I neglected to tell you one important detail.@CityJournal had an inside man on the ground.

While I was monitoring the livestreams, @AidanGrogan was inside the conference, sitting in on panels they never broadcast.

The post continues:
… subjected to family abolition workshops, discussions of “communist sex forests,” a literal crayon-coloring exercise during one panel, “transfeminist abolitionism,” and lectures about the “cis-sexist motherhood regime.”
Enjoy our full dispatch from Socialism 2026, combining what happened inside the conference with what the rest of us could only see on the livestream.
Family abolition workshops and the cis-sexist motherhood regime. As I've repeatedly said, the trained Marxists who co-founded Black Lives Matter put the "disruption of the nuclear family" in the organization's manifesto. Now I have to go read something wholesome by Just Mindy.
We cannot share a country like this.

A significant portion of our population must be disenfranchised and subjugated.
Just like when the country was founded. https://t.co/Q8LEcL8Bu4
This looks like an SCTV skit.

Say more about these "communist sex forests", please.

City Journal reports:
In a session titled “Femme-inism Against Cisness: Bread, Roses, and Hormones, Too,” British Marxist writer Sophie Lewis delivered a talk on concepts such as “whorish artifice” and “transfeminist abolitionism.” At last year’s conference, Lewis provided more detail about what abolition means to her, stating, “When you abolish the police, you do burn down police stations.” This year, she drew on themes from her book Femmephilia: Love Letters to Trans Mermaids, Queer Mothers, and Marilyn Monroe to argue against “cisness,” defined as “the naturalization of assigned sex.”
“In our species, there’s no preexistent or natural sex-gender system,” Lewis said. “The dyad known as ‘men and women’ is a product of culture, which is to say labor, all the way down.” She criticized “capitalist kinship” and the “private, nuclear household” for perpetuating a “cis-sexist motherhood regime” that denies the possibility that “all children might be the responsibility of all of us.”
The other speaker on the panel, A. J. Bohrer, asked Lewis, “what’s the number one thing we can do to make socialism sexier?” Lewis replied: “Spend more time naked together.” Bohrer followed up by inquiring about “the most important feature of a communist sex forest.”
Spend more time naked together? Have these people looked at themselves in a mirror?
These people need to be abolished with extreme prejudice. The fact that they can even vote sickens me.

All socialists and communists in America must be exterminated.

Junkie communism?

Afro pessimist?
Anti work trans?
Trans social reproduction?
Are they just making stuff up? And what do they mean we need a “general strike”. I can’t imagine all these people work.
I think these people are all frauds and not a one of them would give up their comfy academic positions to be part of the new society they seem to be endorsing. it's all in group virtue signaling. there is not a true revolutionary a la Pol Pot in the entire group.

How many Democratic Socialists are going to be sworn in to Congress next January? These are the people winning elections in New York City and Denver.
