Key DSA comrades call for ‘violent’ takeover of the Democrat Party

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), which have been accurately branded as “communists” by President Donald Trump according to strategists such as Bradley Thayer, are plotting the takeover of the Democrat Party with some dedicated comrades calling for a “violent” overthrow of the establishment.

Thayer is the author of the book, “America’s 100 Years’ War: How to Win Against Communism.’

A compilation of footage posted by the Canary Mission on X showed comments from DSA members, candidates endorsed by the organization, and leftist commentators discussing the future of the Democrat Party.

One featured speaker, DSA activist and streamer Michael Beyer, said during a panel discussion that “The Democratic Party establishment that we have has to be ripped out.”

“We can actually start to grab hold of the ship of state and steer it our direction, but it’s going to be a violent process,” Beyer added.

In another video clip, Oliver Larkin, a DSA candidate for Congress in Florida, said that “this Democratic Party needs to change.” Larkin also said he was “more than glad” to appear on the livestream of far-left commentator Hasan Piker, who has said America deserved 9/11 and has advocated for “killing landlords.”

“As Democrats, we need to go into these spaces,” Larkin said.

Since DSA-backed candidate Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the New York City mayoral race, a number of DSA-backed candidates have won in primary elections, particularly in Democrat-led cities.

The DSA’s platform includes abolishing the U.S. Senate, abolishing ICE, abolishing borders entirely, abolishing prisons, and defunding the Pentagon, among others.

“The establishment Democrats should be worried about the voters and about what the voters think and about what the constituency thinks, and … right now they have not been delivering, and our candidates are and have been, and it’s resonating with voters,” DSA national co-chair Megan Romer previously told Fox News.

“I also have been told a lot of times by Democrats, don’t vote third party. It’s wasting your vote,” she added. “So, we run on the Democratic ballot line where it makes sense. We run independents sometimes where that is a viable possibility, but it’s a ballot line. And what matters is what the voters think. And the voters are overwhelmingly choosing our candidates.”
