Back in 2017, a West Point graduate named Spenser Rapone went viral on social media for flashing a sign in his hat that read ‘Communism will win.’

People were outraged about it but he faded into obscurity and he was largely forgotten.

Until now.

You’ll never guess what he is up to today. He works in higher education, because of course he does.

Townhall reports:

In 2017, Second Lieutenant Spenser Rapone shared a picture from his May 2016 West Point Graduation on social media. In that pic, he raised his fist and held up his service cap to reveal “Communism will win” written inside.

The U.S. Army launched an investigation into Rapone and found that he advocated online for a socialist revolution and disparaged high-ranking officers. In 2018 he resigned and received an other-than-honorable discharge.

Now we’re catching up to what he’s doing now, and he’s a PhD student at the University of Chicago, where Abdul El-Sayed’s radical sister also teaches. It seems he’s picked up a taste for Islamic extremism, too.

More from the Washington Free Beacon:

The notorious West Point graduate who wrote “communism will win” on his cap during graduation—and who now openly praises Oct. 7 mastermind Yahya Sinwar, Hezbollah boss Hassan Nasrallah, and Syria’s sadistic Assad family—is now a Ph.D. student at the prestigious University of Chicago, all expenses paid.

Spenser Rapone, a self-described “revolutionary socialist” who was drummed out of the Army after declaring his support for communism and calling for violence against Republicans, has taken up residence at the University of Chicago, where he specializes in “modern Arab intellectual history” and the “history of the modern Middle East,” among other subjects.

In addition to his well-known communist bona fides, Rapone has also picked up a taste for Islamic extremism—which he now freely posts about on his public X page. His most inflammatory public pronouncements are in Arabic and remain live on X.

“Glory to the martyred leader Yahya Sinwar,” he said on Oct. 18, 2024, shortly after Israel killed the Hamas boss, who masterminded the Oct. 7 massacre.

A college campus is the perfect place for this guy.

He probably fits right in with all of the other communist revolutionaries.
