So it's like everybody has that opportunity, no matter who you are. I don't want to lose the, the American dream, the the thing that people, you know, the Marxist agenda wants to tear down, the very beacon of hope that, uh, that someone like me could not ascend through class systems over The Past Years of my life, through hard work, through all through all persevering.

Known for his outspoken views, Dolmayan doesn't shy away from discussing the heat he's faced online, especially given his band's left-leaning reputation.
He chats with hosts Tommy Vext and Shane Vitko about the strain this has put on his relationship with frontman Serj Tankian and the broader implications for free speech and democracy. Dolmayan dives into his thoughts on extremist ideologies and how they threaten meaningful conversation.
