The higher-ups in the Democratic Party establishment are clearly terrified of Hasan Piker, one of the most influential media surrogates for the Democratic Socialists of America - whose members want to "dismantle the empire from within."Piker specifically instructed his followers to kill capitalists and "let the streets soak in their fucking red capitalist blood." Hasan Piker calls on his followers to kill capitalists:

“Yeah kill them! KiII those motherfuckers and murder those motherfuckers in the streets. Let the streets soak in their fucking red capitalist blood, dude.”
