Mamdani Campaign Alum Living In China Talks US Revolution: “Very Surprised If There’s No Violence Going Forward”

Explicit calls to overthrow capitalism only suggest revolutionary goals within the reformist socialist movement. There have been reports that some of these reformist socialists have coordinated with foreign subversion networks in Cuba and China or used NGOs to conduct hybrid information warfare.

President Trump has clearly been briefed. 

.@POTUS: The Cuban regime has also spent decades coordinating with left-wing radicals and Communist networks here in the United States. As our State Department has detailed, they have cultivated ties to subversive and radical groups such as the Communist Party USA, Antifa, and… pic.twitter.com/Bopz3W6sXz

The latest comments about revolution and the hope for violence in America come from far-left influencer Hasan Piker’s China-based producer, Eric Hovagim, who also worked on socialist Zohran Mamdani’s campaign and said on a recent podcast that he would be “very surprised if there is no violence going forward in the United States.” 

Hovagim said, “I mean, it is simply the situation that they have put the working masses in. And I mean, we’re seeing what’s happening in the Global South, where you have October 7th happening. You know, this is something that happens when you put people in a pressure cooker, a concentration camp, when you do not allow them the basic human rights that we love to champion in the West.”

“The workers of the United States are in the exact same predicament as the workers of the Global South. And it is frankly in their long-term interest to partner with them, to ensure that they can see eye to eye, to build an internationalist movement that goes beyond the four walls of the capitalist states of the United States of America. Because frankly, otherwise they are doomed,” he continued.

He noted, “There is no militant group that has had any success whatsoever, maybe since the Black Panthers. But again, we saw what happened when the Black Panthers did have any success. So I don’t know what’s going to happen.”

In a separate podcast, Hovagim discussed his close friendship with China-based Marxist billionaire Roy Singham, whose network of revolutionary NGOs has been accused of promoting pro-Beijing and communist propaganda through what some describe as a possible foreign subversion network.

Via Free Press:

Taken together, these comments from Hovagim point to the broader far-left agenda, suggesting that the Democratic Socialists of America are not truly focused on affordability, Palestine, climate change, opposition to data centers, or whatever the hottest issue of the day may be.

Instead, they appear more focused on dismantling the foundations of America’s capitalist system.

In fact, DSA leaders state their intentions very bluntly:

On another stream earlier this year, Hovagim told his followers: “I’m friends with Roy Singham. He’s dope.”

According to investigative reports (e.g., New York Times, 2023), Singham has worked closely with pro-CCP propaganda networks targeting the US.

Where self-described socialist reformers advocate dismantling capitalism and existing US institutions, their stated objectives point toward a violent revolution.

Any shift toward socialist unrest would raise a separate national security concern: who stands to benefit from social unrest?

Well, it’s a shared interest of foreign adversaries as two wars rage in Eurasia, resource nationalism explodes, and the world is on a dangerous path. The good news is that Scott Bessent’s NGO team may have disrupted any mobilization of riots this summer, since there were none. But that only suggests more chaos is just around the corner as these revolutionaries regroup.
