The Saturday Wrap-Up - EXPOSED: The Dead Communist Behind Mamdani AND the CFR's Post-Trump Plot - June 27, 2026

Barbara traces the DSA candidates backed by Mayor Mamdani — and the Council on Foreign Relations' "post-Trump" project — to one dead communist, Antonio Gramsci, and the British imperial networks that have always used communism against their rivals.

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.
