Cutting red tape for small businesses is communism?

You arguing this administration is pro capitalism? Is that your final answer?

Mamdani on Monday will also expand the NYC Best program, assigning each of the city's 180,000 small businesses – which employ an estimated 1 million people – a case worker to help owners

Hmmmm …

No. i'm saying that this specific instance...if he is in fact cutting red tape would seem to promote capitalism.

Saying yay communism in response to this topic in particular seems a bit silly don't you think?

There are no “communists” in American politics, at least none that win.

Nothing about that “promotes capitalism,” of most note being the stark absence of intent to do so by the party in action - who would himself most probably literally laugh out loud at the premise.

It certainly doesn't promote communism either

At worst it's neutral and promotes neither

I’m laughing at how they’ve knowingly or unknowingly promoted just how destructive red tape is to small businesses and the communities they serve. Everyone here is ripping him but there should be a celebration because of what they’ve acknowledged with this article. Which was apparently written by a leftist. The Left, in a rush to write glowing articles about one of their most high profile politicians, has endorsed conservatism and free markets as the solution to people’s economic ills. Just point and laugh at them and see if his voters figure out happened.

Not a single person amongst us disagrees with the premise that red tape is bad small business. In fact, I’d bet they extend that concept to all of business, “big” or small. Furthermore, I’m sure the majority of folks would agree that cutting of red tape is quite a bit more noteworthy in this particular case due to the nutty politics and political movement of this particular character.

But hell no it doesn’t rise to any level or need for celebration. This will be a fleeting incident in time and replaced via many, many, many 24-hour news cycles. Neither is it an “acknowledgment” of anything. Acknowledgement takes a person’s intent to do so. They (meaning the actual political figures, not the author of one single article) will deny and lie, say it’s something else, then call you a fascist for it.

Were you following his campaign that closely?

Didn't know you were a NYC resident following his every move during the campaign process

He has get this right. He will need to tax small business to afford his budget.

I'm just questioning how much you actually know about his campaign. It's a fair question. Unless you live there I wouldn't expect you to know the details of it beyond some soundbites.

That being said, if he is pushing for deregulation and cutting red tape isn't that inherently a good thing? Even libertarian economics rags like reason are happy about this development.

The Communist party USA 2024 election platform is basically the democrat platform.

In our 2 party system they wear the D mask to get on the ballot and avoid the stigma of communism.

This is what you vote for.

Bodega owners will no longer need a separate license to sell the same products outside the store – like fruit and flowers – as inside. Restaurants will no longer need a "superfluous" frozen dessert permit to sell ice-cream on top of the permit already required to sell food. Barber shops will no longer have to renew their permit every year, instead doing so every three years. Street fair vendor permit fees will be reduced, restaurant inspections will be sped up, and equipment registration fees will be eliminated for a year.

If only democrats had not created these onerous over regulations, someone else wouldn't need to clean it up.
