Extremist Plot to Overthrow America Unveiled on Independence Day
In the heart of Chicago over the July 4 weekend, a four-day conference named Socialism 2025 brought together thousands of socialists and radical activists from across the country. The event, which was livestreamed on YouTube, featured a diverse roster of influential figures, including Ivy League professors, faculty from top public universities, current and former leaders of the Chicago Teachers Union, and even a co-founder of the Weather Underground, Bill Ayers.
The closing panel was led by David McNally, the Cullen Distinguished Professor of History and Business at the University of Houston. McNally proposed replacing America's constitutional republic with Democratic Councils. Geo Maher, a radical theorist who has taught at the University of Pennsylvania, and Andrea J. Ritchie, an activist lawyer, were also part of the closing panel. Robin D. G. Kelley, a professor at UCLA, and Robin D. G. Kelley were also present.
One of the key discussions at the conference was the ideological campaign to extend across every level of public education. Jesse Hagopian, an ethnic studies teacher at Seattle's Garfield High School, emphasised this point in the panel "The Blunt-Force Assault on Education: Resistance to Fascism," where he was joined by Wayne Au of the University of Washington, Davarian Baldwin of Trinity College, Barbara Ransby, and David Stovall, both of the University of Illinois Chicago.
The conference also delved into topics such as social movements, abolition, Marxism, decolonization, working-class history, and organizing strategies. Some panels, however, were not livestreamed, including "Deny, Defend, Depose: Health Struggle After Luigi," "Hope at the Edge of the Abyss: The Case for Revolution," "Prison Made Us Militants," "DIY Abortion," and "Becoming Working Class Revolutionaries."
Controversial ideas were not in short supply at the conference. Attendees praised mass rioting, called for dismantling higher education, advocated abolishing the family, and openly called for ending America as we know it. Mohamed Abdou, a controversial professor, co-led a workshop at the conference called "A War Where All Fits," which reframed the war in Gaza as an international revolutionary struggle. Abdou is a committed anarchist and suggested learning from the Zapatista Army of National Liberation, a far-left militant group that controls much of the Mexican state of Chiapas.
Paula X. Rojas, a community organizer, stated on camera that she was part of a revolutionary movement in Chile. University of Chicago professor Eman Abdelhadi endorsed using the university as a power base to organize and build power. Stu Smith, a researcher on domestic extremism, provides extensive video documentation on his X Account, @TheStuStuStudio.
The conference concluded with a call to action, encouraging attendees to continue the fight for radical change and to implement their political plans within their respective communities and institutions. The echoes of the discussions and debates at Socialism 2025 are sure to resonate in the ongoing discourse on social and political issues in America and beyond.
