T<\/span>he Democratic Socialists of America are having a moment. In fact, they\u2019re having a season. DSA candidates are winning nationwide in Democratic Party primaries, knocking off incumbents while running on some of the most deformed and deranged platforms in recent political memory. Zohran Mamdani, the charismatic young socialist in Gracie Mansion, is the new leader of the DSA pack. Terrifying as it may be, Zo may be the closest thing the entire activist left has these days to a kingmaker.<\/p>\n

It couldn\u2019t be clearer what the DSA wants: The democratic socialists want to finish the job, launched by Barack Obama on the precipice of presidential victory in 2008, of \u201cfundamentally transforming\u201d the United States. The DSA\u2019s new policy platform, released earlier this month, says the quiet part out loud: \u201cWe are workers fighting to transform society,\u201d to \u201cdraft a new constitution, and create a democratic socialist republic.\u201d\u00a0(RELATED: America\u2019s Socialists Have Already Lost)<\/strong><\/p>\n

It would be one thing if these were the words of a starry-eyed freshman pothead, first exposed to Marx and pontificating to dormmates while John Lennon\u2019s dreadful song \u201cImagine\u201d plays in the background. But people like Hizzoner and the new uptown socialist \u201cit girl,\u201d Darializa Avila Chevalier, are adults. They are serious. And that makes them not just naive but dangerous.\u00a0(RELATED: Yes, They\u2019re Communists, and Yes, They\u2019re Lying About It. For Now.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Zo has had a complicated relationship with the issue of public safety.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Should Americans be comfortable with public officials entertaining the abolition of the twin pillars of public safety, police and prisons?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

The official DSA platform stops short of calling for full \u201cabolition\u201d of prisons or policing, instead calling to \u201cdemilitarize police departments\u201d and \u201cend mass incarceration.\u201d But Avila Chevalier promoted full-on police and prison abolition from a since-deleted Twitter\/X account, and Mamdani condemned the \u201ccarceral state\u201d when he ran for state assembly in 2020. After Avila Chevalier\u2019s primary victory, Mamdani was pressed during an appearance on ABC News on whether he supports the existence of prisons. \u201cThere are prisons,\u201d he simply responded.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not exactly reassuring.<\/p>\n

Just this week, Zo appeared on purported comic Jon Stewart\u2019s podcast and doubled down on prevarication. Stewart asked Hizzoner if he is \u201ccomfortable\u201d with calls to abolish prisons. \u201cI\u2019m comfortable with disagreement,\u201d he replied.<\/p>\n

Noted. But the more important question is: Should Americans be comfortable with public officials entertaining the abolition of the twin pillars of public safety, police and prisons?<\/p>\n

The answer is obvious: No.<\/p>\n

Democratic socialists think they\u2019re helping the \u201clittle guy\u201d with their anti-cop, anti-prison lunacy. They\u2019re not.<\/p>\n

According to recent federal data, 62 percent of state prisoners were serving time for a violent offense, such as homicide, rape, or robbery. These people are threats to society and need to be incarcerated. As esteemed criminologist Barry Latzer notes, the average American inmate was arrested a whopping 11 times before getting locked up, and an astonishing 83 percent of released prisoners are ultimately rearrested \u2014 about half in the first year after release.<\/p>\n

Socialists might think they\u2019re helping Blacks amid our post-\u201c1619 Project\u201d racial reckoning, but they fail here too: Nearly 90 percent of Black homicide victims are killed by other Blacks. The biggest danger to law-abiding Blacks in America today is the threat posed by violent Blacks out on the streets and not behind bars.<\/p>\n

There is only one coherent explanation for the DSA\u2019s anti-cop, anti-prison obsession: naked, raw ideology.<\/p>\n

And there is a name for that ideology: Third World-ism. It\u2019s a dystopian zeal for barbarism over civilization. And these days, it\u2019s the name of the game for the activist left. We see it everywhere.<\/p>\n

Third World-ism explains the activist left\u2019s support for the butchers of Hamas over the free people of Israel. Third World-ism explains the activist left\u2019s support for punitive environmental regulations that engender economic degrowth. Third World-ism explains why the activist left wants us to have fewer<\/em> children. Third World-ism explains why the activist left speculates that maybe America actually deserved 9\/11. Third World-ism explains why the activist left wants the anarchy of open borders, not the ordered liberty of the nation-state. Third World-ism explains why the activist left sides with illegal aliens and not victims of illegal alien crime. And Third World-ism explains why the activist left sides with criminals, in general, and not victims of crime. (RELATED: When the \u2018World-City\u2019 Votes Socialist)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The problem with ideology, as the philosophers recognized millennia ago, is that it is stubborn. It is usually impervious to logic, reason, or empiricism. The remedy for bad ideology, therefore, cannot simply be facts and statistics. We also need good ideology: a moral argument that public safety is a public good, and government exists to secure the public good.<\/p>\n

Whether there is anyone willing to make that argument in earnest remains to be seen.<\/p>\n
