Darializa Avila Chevalier, a democratic socialist congressional candidate endorsed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, deleted a previous Twitter account that included thousands of posts and reposts expressing support for abolishing police, prisons and borders, as well as seizing private property and nationalizing major industries and calling into question Israel’s right to exist.

Avila Chevalier, a 32-year-old investigator at a public defender’s office in New York City and doctoral student, has emerged as one of the most prominent left-wing challengers in the country after Mamdani endorsed her bid to unseat longtime Democratic Rep. Adriano Espaillat in New York’s 13th Congressional District.

Why is he deleting the posts? Let it all hang out. It will probably work with the constituency he wants to represent. We need this debate. Does the Left want Communism? Then say so.

The Virginia model. Lie through your teeth about who you are to get elected then go hard left knowing the media will do all it can to mask the deception. It’s how the rats have operated for decades

We need to be more specific than that.

The Left = Democratic Party.

Instead of lying about their intentions like Abigail Spanberger.

When have the socialists ever wanted to eliminate police and prisons? They just want to redirect who they are used against. See also: The Gulag Archipelago.

“Darializa Avila Chevalier”

Where did this asshole immigrate from? If they remove the police who is going to protect the turd? It will be open season.

Socialism ping.

Calling for the government ownership over the means of production.

Lowlights from wikipedia, which she probably wrote herself:

“Chevalier is Afro-Latina and was born and raised in Florida by Dominican immigrant parents. She also lived in the Dominican Republic and Venezuela.”

After college, Chevalier organized with Black Youth Project 100, focusing on mass incarceration and over-policing. As an organizer for Families for Freedom, Chevalier worked to free Abdikadir Mohamed Felt, a Somali immigrant caught up in President Trump’s “Muslim ban,” from ICE detention.”

“Darializa Avila Chevalier participated in the Gaza Solidarity Encampment (April 17–30, 2024), part of the Columbia University protests against the Gaza war.”

“Chevalier is currently a doctoral student in sociology at the City University of New York, studying “the ways Black immigrants from Latin America are impacted by the US criminal system and deportation.”[3]

“In 2025, Chevalier was an organizing lead on Zohran Mamdani’s successful mayoral campaign.”

There were some folks on here defending that concept when it was about the government under Trump getting "golden shares" in the Nippon Steel acquisition.

If you stand for nothing, you'll fall for anything. It's why I never trust a populist.

Starting to see even Conservatives saying we have to be more like China.

Abolish police entirely?

Well, it would be messy for a few years, but civilized people would arm themselves and relearn the ways of vigilent self defence.

They would defend themselves on an individual basis, and they would form trust based neighborhood groups to take out the trash.

Enforcers would arise. The old time mafia kept a lot of random crime at least somewhat suppressed in their territories.

I wonder how long this communist loon would last herself. No police means the people whose property she wants to steal could do justice on her themselves.

Which is why communism always produces totalitarian policing, and any pretence to the contrary is a lie.

Yes, we are. Although I think that takes them out of the realm of being actual conservatives.

It reminds me of the early 30s, when many thought what Hitler was doing in Germany was the way to go, it was a huge driver in support for “The New Deal”.

Yeah. I agree. It is somewhat sad what FR has become as of late. I have run into similar people too.

Big government is more popular than it should be these days, and even here on FR. Everybody is coveting the state.
