What we're seeing now goes way beyond Socialism. It's straight-up Marxist/Communist propaganda.
How in the hell did NYC go from Rudy Giuliani to Mamdami in just 25 years?

Now you have an LSU professor writing books like this:

Don’t get me started on that.

Socialism works great for the people in power, and they think they’ll be in that group rather than the first group shot against the wall.

Those implementing this socialism know it ain't going to work. This is the money grab gift they're going to perpetrate for as long as they can until the well runs dry. The only thing they'll accomplish is making a few people very rich, and a lot of people very poor.

I do not engage them but shake my head at the utter stupidity. They are for rent control because where are all the workers who service them going to live? They absolutely believe his policies are about helping the little people, putting their heads in the sand that this will be a redistribution of wealth and he’s coming for them. Make no mistake, if not for the rich liberals in NYC, Mamdani never gets elected.
Look at the women celebrating the night Mimandi won, for example, and listen to their words. This is about revenge because they hate their fellow Americans more than anything in the world.

Low IQ is hearing let’s give more money to corporations and billionaires and believing that they are going to allow that money to trickle down to you.

Alot of these kids today don't want to work for anything so instead of getting off their lazy asses they want the government to take care of them. I blame bad parenting and liberal universities both for creating this class of shitty adults.

Because... Trump. I am not saying it's good or bad..just like I think Trump was created because of Obama.
What I am really saying is the policies of each of these politicians creates the space for the other one to exist.
The pendulum swings..it always will.

What Mamdami wants to do is pure insanity. It has nothing to do with the political pendulum swinging back and forth.

Roosevelt would be a socialist by your standards, think about that.

The purposeful importation of low IQ fast breeding immigrants who just want to recreate the failed countries they came from with assimilation, and have somebody else take care of their s***...
They were purposefully brought to NY for just this reason.

Isn't that what Mandami and the democrats already say the problem is today?

If you research overall election results with a little detail, you’ll find that DSA success is mostly confined to very specific situations. NYC and
individual Congressional districts are not necessarily representative of the electorate at large. Nor do they necessarily represent the politics of
all or most Democratic candidates now or in the future..,

Envy is part of human nature. But theft results in feelings of guilt or being arrested. Howevever, if the govt steals the money and gives it to you that's just fine.

We're dealing with a large cohort of people that have been medicated since childhood and now they can vote.
They've been sheltered their whole lives, mollycoddled, and fed stories of how they live in a racist, *phobic, patriarchy of exploitation of the planet and humanity itself.
*name the leftist fascination... homosexuality, pedophilia (minor attracted persons), transgenderism, abortion, etc.
The cult has gained traction by incentivizing degeneracy. Kids labeled autistic and getting state handouts, single-moms, drug abuse, promiscuity, and the ensuing side effects like homelessness, welfare dependency, illegal immigration...
The voting base has been created and it will embrace the promise of the leftward shift to communism. (Free healthcare, housing for all, de facto citizenship, free food and services in perpetuity.)
I'm mad at the conservatives for abdicating social policy, because this "go along to get along" nonsense has shifted the Overton Window so far to the left that even the Church is sounding like a bunch of drag queens.
This administration needs to go on the offensive and begin arresting these leftists before the country goes to hell in a handbasket.

These guys have played the long game. They have indoctrinated the young over decades. So many now hate the rich, think that their money should be seized and redistributed to them so that they don’t have to work or pay anything. They think that the government will pay for their 3000 sq ft houses, electric cars, food, utilities, etc…
They have been raised to not compete, to believe that everyone deserves a trophy, and this mindset is what is fueling the rise of socialism in our country.

They didn’t do it right before
America is resilient and has always done the impossible. No reason we can’t make socialism work
