Virginia Anti-Data Center Campaign Hosts PSL-Linked Activists Seeking Office

Virginia's anti-data-center politics is drawing activists tied to a Marxist party with CCP linkages.

Summary

  • Daily Caller reports Virginia campaigns against data centers have hosted activists linked to the Party for Socialism and Liberation.
  • PSL is described in the reporting as a Marxist-Leninist organization with ties and messaging friendly to the Chinese Communist Party.
  • Some of those activists are seeking local office while opposing AI and cloud infrastructure buildouts.
  • Data centers are central to US AI capacity, power demand, and allied compute independence.
  • Local zoning fights are colliding with national-security industrial needs.

Commentary

If your housing argument needs a Marxist party that flatters Beijing, you are not running a neighborhood watch.

America needs power and compute on US soil. Letting CCP-friendly cadres steer zoning is strategic malpractice.

Debate setbacks and water use honestly. Do not hand the gavel to people who treat Chinese communism as a brand partner.

Neighbors can complain. Parties tied to CCP narratives should not set US AI policy.

Industrial self-sabotage is just another open border, this time for dependency.

Build the centers. Audit the activists.
