Socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani's campaign did not respond when confronted with a handful of radical platforms and messages that were promoted during an annual gathering of socialist activists and leaders in Chicago over the Fourth of July weekend Fox News Digital discovered Socialism was held in Chicago Thursday through Sunday where activists promoted radicalizing high school students overthrowing the U S administration and how to perform a DIY abortion and required all attendees to wear N or K while indoors in addition to common rhetoric slamming capitalism Fox News Digital reached out to Mamdani's campaign Tuesday morning inquiring if the NYC Socialist Democrat agreed or disagreed with the platforms and ideas promoted at the conference and if they were ones he would implement if elected the next mayor of the Big Apple but did not instantly receive a response Mamdani did not attend the conference in Chicago but describes himself as a Democratic socialist and has previously embraced radical left-wing policies such as ending private homeownership in favor of communal living Fox Digital has previously revealed The socialism conference included panels dominated by college professors as well as locality organizers activists and others SOCIALIST MAYORAL CANDIDATE ZOHRAN MAMDANI S SAT NUMBER REVEALED STATEMENT Socialism is a four-day conference bringing together thousands of socialists and radical activists from around the country to take part in discussions about social movements abolition Marxism decolonization working-class history and the debates and strategies for organizing currently the conference touts on its website Fox News Digital provided Mamdani's office with a bullet-point list of six quotes and platforms promoted at the event including one woman who identified herself as a Wisconsin high school educator calling for youths to be radicalized before they enter college All of you who got radicalized in college imagine if you got radicalized four years earlier the woman who was a member of the audience was heard saying during the conference NYC'S SHOCKING SOCIALIST SUPREMACY IS A DIRE WARNING FOR THE RIGHTAnother Chicago-based activist who spoke during a panel called for the U S cabinet to be overthrown I think it s critical to say the state isn t democratic We don t live in a democracy We should start saying that more so I mean there are so several different procedures I m not going to go into it but people are clapping so there s general agreement I m glad we agree on that the activist mentioned during a panel Saturday called Their End is Our Beginning Cops Capitalism and Abolition which receive applause from the crowd So do we capture the state or do we try to replace it with something different he continued And I think it s the latter We have to replace it with something different While during another panel on Gender Sexuality Reproduction and the State Fighting Back Against the So-Called Law a woman from the audience communicated that the conference would hold a do-it-yourself abortion panel to discuss how to use and where to buy legal abortion pills While a panel speaker for the same forum appeared to call for the abolition of the family VIDEO SURFACES OF MAMDANI USING SLOGAN ROOTED IN COMMUNIST REVOLUTIONARY LANGUAGE But the bigger part of abolition as everybody s reminding us in that tradition is the building of infrastructures of real safety real accountability real justice the activist reported during the panel You know it s the same with the family Capitalist care has to be abolished in the sense that we are all pretty clear that care is a real need What does the family offer us What is the promise It s like a promise that you will be deeply profoundly unconditionally selflessly and uncalculatedly known and held Is the family really doing that she added before adding that the idea of family has shortcomings and can be replaced with mutual aid While yet another activist declared during a video clip circulating social media that she seeks to dismantle the United States and declared everyone should join her in her activism no questions demanded I seek to dismantle the United States the activist announced according to video footage circulating on X I hope you seek to dismantle the United States And if that isn t your politics OK I speak as if everybody has this commitment And the thing is you should You should listen to indigenous people when they are telling you this is the goal Not only is this the goal but this is the starting point Decolonization is the only thing that is going to save us as a species It s the only thing that s going to save us as a planet And everyone should be on board with it no questions inquired SANDERS ENDORSES SOCIALIST MAMDANI IN MOVE TO BLOCK CUOMO IN NYC MAYORAL RACEMamdani trounced top NYC mayoral competitor and former New York Gov Andrew Cuomo at the polls in June Mamdani's achievement is viewed as the Democrat Party moving farther to the left in New York City after national voters sounded off in the ballot that the party's embrace of specific left-wing policies alienated Americans President Donald Trump has slammed Mamdani as a Communist Lunatic and vowed he would save New York City As President of the United States I m not going to let this Communist Lunatic destroy New York Trump wrote on Truth Social earlier in July Rest assured I hold all the levers and have all the cards I ll save New York City and make it 'Hot' and 'Great' again just like I did with the Good Ol USA
