Barbara Boyd discusses three Democratic Socialists of America-backed candidates endorsed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani winning upset victories in New York congressional primaries, framing the results as part of a long-term cultural project rather than a purely economic platform. She argues the DSA’s internal education centers on communist theorist Antonio Gramsci and his strategy of revolution through cultural “hegemony,” citing a deleted Instagram post from a group tied to one winner that called for the “total eradication of Western Civilization.”
Boyd highlights a newly published DSA platform proposing major constitutional changes, then links Gramsci to the Council on Foreign Relations’ “post-Trump world” series, noting CFR fellow Charles Kupchan opens with a Gramsci quote and attacks reindustrialization and tariffs. She claims British imperial networks historically sponsored Marx and later Gramsci, using communism and counterculture against rivals, and urges promoting Trump’s “American System” economics and an optimistic national culture ahead of the midterms.

This very prolific fellow organized the direction and thrust of the Agency’s media campaign, spending 11 years putting out most of their main themes, such as those eventually used by COINTELPRO to form the many radical “leftist opposition groups”.
At the same time, the FBI infiltrated (and took over) “rightwing” groups such as the Democrat Klan, militant defender of white interests, before the faux “Civil Rights” movement reintroduced class privilege that annulled Constitutional legal equality – the same class privilege once held by British aristocracy.
Gramsci proposed rutheless attacks on culture is what made revolution possible; thus, Revolution, the seizure of power, was the sole goal, because Communism’s selling point was economic benefits for the labor class
