(Zero Hedge)—America’s socialist leadership increasingly looks less like a political movement and more like a circus where the clowns run the show.
Its most radical theorists openly advocate dismantling capitalism and the institutions underpinning the Western order while romanticizing communist regimes defined by nation-killing economic ruin and political repression. Rather than building a credible working-class movement, these clowns have marginalized themselves through far-left extremism and become objects of national ridicule.
The latest clown show comes from Da’Shaun L. Harrison, an Atlanta-based writer, activist, and self-described Afropessimist, anarcho-communist, abolitionist, and trans theorist who uses they/them pronouns.
Recently, at the Socialism 2026 conference, Harrison called the political deployment of GLP-1 drugs “fascistic” because they exist in “a world fixated on genociding fat people.”
“The political deployment of GLP-1s is fascistic, not because individuals take them, but because the conditions under which they become necessary are shaped by a world fixated on genociding fat people,” Harrison continued.
To explain why GLP-1s are fascistic, Harrison turned to Frantz Fanon and “Black flesh under colonial surveillance.”
If Harrison wants to really own his own words, then every diet, every gym, every bariatric surgery, and every doctor who says folks are overweight should be viewed as a war criminal. Make this far-left activist eat his own words.
