If there's one thing humanity has a talent for, it's ignoring its own history and the patterns it presents. Oftentimes, it's ignorance that drives this flaw, but too often, it's the fact that someone believes that the only reason those who came before didn't succeed in a fool's errand is that they didn't have the right qualities to make it work.
They get lost so deep in their own sauce that they think, "This time it'll work because I'm the one who won't make the mistakes those others did."
Of course, they never are. The same mistakes are always made; they just look a little different.
Hasan Piker is one of those hubristic useful idiots who thinks he's going to be the one who finally succeeds in doing what everyone before him never could. He's going to usher in the communist utopia, and he's going to do it through a livestream where his adoring fans believe he's a glorious leader in his own right, and everyone else thinks he's an internet lolcow.
Sadly, a lot of the legacy media believes he's the former, which says a lot about them, but I digress.
As my colleague Nick Arama recently reported, Piker's radicalism is so unmatched that even New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani falls short of his expectations:
Far-left streamer Hasan Piker told New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani to “shut the f— up” and urged progressives to present their policies more boldly during an interview released Wednesday on Zeteo’s “We’re Not Kidding” podcast in Washington, D.C.
“I just listened to his new New York Times conversation where The New York Times asked him, like, ‘If you had unlimited money, what would you do?’” Piker said. “He’s like, ‘Exactly the same policies I’m implementing.’ I’m like, ‘Shut the f— up, dude.’”
As Nick noted, this is a classic case of Democrats eating themselves alive as they try to jockey for position on who can be the most asinine— I mean leftist. Nick's not wrong, but I want to do a little thought experiment.
Let's say Mamdani had the power Piker wishes Mamdani had. Let's say that Piker was successful in helping usher in the communist age of America. What then?
Would Piker finally relax? Would he finally be happy? Would he lie down his sword, pick up his plowshare, and get to work on supporting this new nation?
Of course not. Piker isn't a worker; he's a revolutionary, and for revolutionaries, the fight never stops. The only allies they have are the ones who always want to take it further.
Which is why, if Piker did have his dream of a communist America achieved... he'd be one of the first to die.
History shows us that when communists take control, one of the things they do before they start doing anything else is begin ridding themselves of complications. This does, of course, include anyone from oppositional parties, resistance fighters, or anyone who actively attempted to impede the party's progress, no matter how peaceful. However, this also includes the very radicals that got the party into power in the first place.
Why?
Because, as I said before, Piker would never accept "good enough." He can't. Radicals are nothing but radicals. They don't know how to be anything else. If the party kept them around and their influence continued, they'd end up becoming an issue for the party because nothing would ever meet their approval. They would be the cause of a lot of turbulence, and they might even turn people against the party.
So, as history shows, they're among the first lined up against the wall and shot. In a communist America, Piker would be among those arrested first because he's one of the loudest and most well-known of the radicals. It'd likely be done swiftly and quietly as well. They don't want to turn him into a martyr.
Yuri Bezmenov, the famous KGB agent who defected to America, laid this out in his four-step interview on a communist takeover. He makes a note that after it's all said and done, the people who built, empowered, and carried the party to power all get their rewards in the end.
A bullet to the head.
People see communists as ideologues, and that's mostly true, but there are two types of "communist."
The first is the believer, and the second is the would-be dictator. The dictator doesn't believe in communism; he believes communism is the path to power, and once it's achieved, the believers aren't worth anything anymore.
Piker should hope and pray that his dream is never realized, because history shows it will be the end of him.
