This Islamo-Marxist Is Hijacking the Internet and Young Minds

In this Revolver News article, staff writers warn that Hasan Piker, a self-proclaimed Marxist and cultural Muslim known online as HasanAbi, is exerting massive influence over young people through a blend of anti-capitalist ideology and anti-Israel rhetoric that the author labels “Islamo-Marxism.”

• Hasan Piker is a 34-year-old dual U.S.-Turkish citizen born in New Jersey who grew up in Istanbul and rose to prominence through The Young Turks, the progressive media outlet founded by his uncle Cenk Uygur.
• He identifies as a self-proclaimed Marxist and “cultural Muslim,” blending Marxist ideology with Islamic cultural affinity into what the article terms “Islamo-Marxism.”
• Piker commands millions of followers across platforms; his audience spends millions of hours watching his streams, with millions more views generated by clips, YouTube uploads, and secondary commentary channels.
• In an August 2019 livestream discussing U.S. foreign policy, Piker stated that “America deserved 9/11,” arguing that American actions in the Middle East invited the attack.
• He keeps a framed 9/11 newspaper front page displayed on his wall, a detail the article describes as ghoulish.
• The piece argues that mainstream dismissal of legitimate questions about U.S. support for Israel as antisemitism drives disillusioned young people toward radical voices like Piker.
• Piker is portrayed as offering rage, certainty, and a clear enemy rather than responsible debate, thereby radicalizing youth who feel ignored or lied to by both major political parties.
• The author stresses that criticism of Israeli government policy is legitimate while hatred of Jewish people is not, and that refusing open discussion only amplifies the influence of figures like Piker.
