If you thought the District 8 Supervisor candidate pool was already a mixed bag, you haven't met Keith Beneath.

Beneath is a local performance artist, musician, activist, and "venture socialist" who is "running" for District 8 Supervisor along with an already lively pool of candidates. Billing himself "The Class War Candidate," Beneath's platform is to provide universal healthcare, set aside more public space for citizens, and "save San Francisco by nuking Silicon Valley," according to the campaign press release on his elaborate campaign campaign website.

We can recover our humanity by making them notice us. They evicted us; why not evict them? New “innovations” in drone technology and targeted demolitions can allow us to take out our oppressors. Planned detonations in Silicon Valley—in Atherton, Woodside, Cupertino, Mountain View, Wall Street and Palo Alto—will stave off the capitalist cancer.

While Beneath has some pretty extreme statements on his website, let us remind you he is a performance artist and his campaign for Supervisor is just that, a performance. Beneath is not a candidate officially registered with the San Francisco Department of Elections, but he is a San Franciscan that wants to challenge the status quo, and that might be enough for some folks to write in his name on their ballot on November 4th.
