Spencer Cummings has a passionate voice for justice, healing, and truth. Spencer is someone who has dedicated himself to the hard work of healing past trauma while stepping into a life of authenticity, activism, and house music. In his journey of self-discovery, he’s been drawn to global issues that demand compassion and action. Today, we’ll explore three major themes that have shaped his thinking: the ongoing struggle in Palestine, the enduring relevance of Marxist thought, and DIEM25—a movement striving for radical democracy and a more empathetic society.Spencer’s awakening to the issue of Palestine wasn’t immediate—it was a painful and emotional transformation that came from witnessing, in real time, the suffering of people he once felt disconnected from. As he began to see the humanity behind the headlines, it became clear to him that justice for Palestine was not only a political stance, but a deeply moral and emotional one. His advocacy is rooted in empathy and personal responsibility—attending protests, consuming alternative media, and using his voice to stand with those oppressed. For Spencer, healing from personal trauma goes hand in hand with confronting global injustice; speaking out against genocide is part of reclaiming his authenticity and humanity.Marxism, for Spencer, is less about rigid ideology and more about a hopeful lens through which to imagine a more equal, caring society. He sees Marx’s vision as a counter to the narcissism and alienation created by capitalism—an economic system he believes perpetuates trauma across generations. In families weighed down by poverty, addiction, and exhaustion, the effects of systemic inequality are deeply personal. Marxism gives Spencer language to describe this pain and imagine a world where community and cooperation take priority over profit and competition. Though he doesn’t claim Marxism offers a perfect solution, it provides a direction toward something more just.Spencer’s involvement in DIEM25 reflects his commitment to bringing meaningful change to Canada’s political landscape. DIEM25 promotes radical democracy—systems where workers and citizens are no longer just passive observers but active decision-makers. For Spencer, this isn’t just politics; it’s deeply personal. It’s about being seen, heard, and respected in a world that often forgets the working class. Whether it’s voting on workplace decisions or encouraging unionization, he sees this form of democracy as essential to healing the disconnection so many feel in modern society. While the movement is still growing in Canada, Spencer is committed to laying the groundwork—even if the rewards come slowly.Spencer Cummings’ path is one of raw honesty and bold purpose. Whether he’s calling out injustice in Gaza, unpacking the legacy of Marxist thought, or pushing for radical democracy through DIEM25, his message remains consistent: healing and authenticity go hand in hand with courage and action. He reminds us that political change isn’t separate from personal growth—they’re intertwined. And by showing up, speaking out, and daring to dream of a better world, Spencer is helping to build it, one step at a time.KEEP IT LONG TERM!
