Epoch Times: Democratic presidential primary front-runner Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) recently told reporters at a campaign stop in New Hampshire that she is “not a democratic socialist.”
The next question should have been obvious: “Well, then, what kind of socialist are you?”
Harris has been surrounded by socialists and communists her entire life—beginning with her staunchly Marxist father. Harris is the older child of two 1960s Berkeley radicals: Shyamala Gopalan, a cancer researcher from the state of Tamil Nadu in southern India, and Donald J. Harris, an economist from Jamaica.
Gopalan and Donald Harris were very active during the civil rights and anti-Vietnam War protests of the era, often taking baby Kamala to protests in a stroller, according to a recent article in San Jose daily newspaper The Mercury News on the Harris family.
The couple separated after Donald Harris took a professorship at the University of Madison–Wisconsin. Gopalan filed for divorce in 1971 and won custody of her two daughters in 1973.
Kamala and her younger sister, Maya—now her presidential campaign chair—regularly visited their father during school holidays.
In 1972, Donald Harris left the University of Madison–Wisconsin to begin a visiting professorship of economics at Stanford University.
On Nov. 3, 1976, an article published in the Stanford Daily newspaper claimed that more than 250 students were clamoring for more Marxist perspectives.
Shortly thereafter, a letter was published in the Stanford Daily on Nov. 12, 1976, signed by the Stanford branch of the Union for Radical Political Economics (URPE), with signatures from members Bill Dittenhofer, Ari Cohen, Eric Berg, David O’Connor, Arthur Slepian, Sandy Thompson, and Tracy Mott:
“The program in Marxian economics would be much weaker than it is today if had it not been for massive student efforts in the form of petitions, open meetings …
“[It] was only after a divisive one and a one-half year struggle that the opposing elements in the department gave into student pressure and conceded to ‘the appointment of Prof. Donald Harris. Thus the presence of Marxian economists here simply indicates the success of the student struggle. … The recent addition of course offerings in Marxian economics is again a direct result of student pressure, not departmental benevolence.”
After an 18-month campaign by the union, Harris was offered and accepted a permanent professorship. MORE
yeah, and she is an anchor baby and her ancestors owned slaves.
ask her about those things too.
Willie said she’s good at tickling his pickle……allegedly.
How does everyone REALLY think she got where she is?
You mean she may not be completely honest to gain a powerful position? Come on, you’re not going there are you?
Dripping with sarcasm.
I believe from what’s been reported of her past she is a member of the SS. (Slutty Socialist)
I found the proof of socialist ties.

Not bright, not attractive, angry, irritating voice – she’s a perfect candidate for the Democrats to run!!
Well, she’s NOT a “democratic socialist!”
She’s more of a North Korea-style “dictatorial socialist” or Stalinist-socialist.
izlamo delenda est …
I know it’s a silly, old fashioned notion, but if both parents were foreign nationals, she is not eligible to run for President. But I’m sure the Federal Election Commission (or whatever) will give her the green light.
The only good socialist is a former socialist.
