- Kshama Sawant, 46, has been described as a leader in the creation of Seattle's Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone
- The city councilwoman has urged fellow activists not to allow cops back into the six-block zone set up in the center of the city
- Indian-born Sawant worked as a software engineer before migrating to the US, where she was 'radicalized by the inequality and poverty' that she saw
- Sawant became the first socialist to be elected to Seattle's City Council in 2013; she recently endorsed Bernie Sanders for President
- However, she has come under fire for railing against gentrification while being married to a Microsoft engineer; she is also reported to live in a $800K home
- One Seattle Times columnist has compared her to the Queen in Alice In Wonderland, because of her 'off with their heads' political style
This is what America is up against, looney toons like her from outside of the country who want to destroy our nation with ideas imported from Europe.
