For those who are unaware, the Socialism 2026 conference is underway in Chicago this holiday weekend, and the content is likely worse than you expected.
Numerous clips have been posted to social media that depict the utter insanity of the conference, with remarks claiming that exercise is fascistic and declaring that there is a genocide against fat people to just name a few.

Stu from the Manhattan Institute has shared a countless number of interactions just like this, so you should really just scroll through his Twitter (X) profile if you want a good glimpse into what these freaks are arguing in favor of.
The schedule featured a few rather interesting talks, including “Sing, Struggle, Organize: Movement Songs, Political Education, and Collective Power,” Femme-inism Against Cisness: Bread, Roses, and Hormones, Too,” and “Trans Care in the Age of Health Fascism.” (A running theme appears to be a deep hatred of the Make America Healthy Again initiative.)
Some other talks examined “family abolition…through a black feminist lens,” America’s “carceral imperialism” and the movement to abolish prisons, and, of course, Hasan Piker speaking about leftist insurgency. The abolition of American border security was featured prominently.
Attendees were also invited to exciting programs, like “Radical Game Night,” “Letter Writings to Incarcerated Comrades,” and “Tarot for Socialist.”
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who just rejoined the Democratic Socialists of America, wants you to believe that “Woke 1.0” was crazy, and that it’ll somehow be different with Woke 2.0. Well, Woke 2.0 is here and it is far more radical than anything that they tried to push the first time around.
