A criminal won the mayoralty race in NYC.
Why do I say “criminal?” A while back I read 2 books, The Communistic Societies of the United States by Charles Nordhoff and History of American Socialisms by John Humphrey Noyes. Both were published in the 1870s by authors who documented the many socialist enclaves established across the young 19th Century USA by traveling around and living within them and getting first-hand experience. The CORE PREMISE that defined these socialisms is that they were VOLUNTARY. Then Karl Marx weaponized the young socialist movement, turning it into a violent political movement that sought control of government to force totalitarian Socialist control over society. This new Marxian Socialism—POLITICAL Socialism—can only be described as criminal, seeking to impose control and ownership over everyone’s wealth, work, and lives by government force. Can anyone tell me how Zohran Mamdani’s agenda of “free” stuff and “abolishing billionaires” is any different from that? He’s basically declaring that your wealth is his to seize and distribute.
If you have ever read the manifesto of The Democratic Socialists of America (the DSA), you would see that it is thoroughly Marxist. It advocates “worker control of the means of production,” which means government seizure of all privately held properties—the businesses, land, savings accounts, etc., of "the owning class"—and putting their earned wealth under government ownership, to be distributed according to bureaucratic edict. Zohran Mamdani, the new NYC mayor, has advocated just such policies of abolishing private property. Unlike wishy-washy “socialists” like Sanders and AOC—which the DSA does NOT endorse—Zohran Mamdani is the real thing.
Mamdani is a self-described Democratic Socialist—a CRIMINAL SOCIALIST. Unlike the voluntary socialisms described by Nordhoff and Noyes—which were perfectly consistent with a free society—Zamdani, like all Marxian Socialists, seeks to impose his socialist values on everyone regardless of their individual approvals. That’s why he’s in politics. He is a totalitarian. Never mind that he was elected. Tyranny is tyranny, whether imposed by coup d’etat, as in Cuba, or by vote, as in Venezuela.
The danger of Mamdani is not so much in what he may impose on NYC. He likely will not get much of his stated agenda done. After all, he only won 50.4% of the vote, a bare majority, and against a corrupt Democrat at that. The danger is in that he will legitimize and normalize Democratic Socialism, a radical Left fringe movement, into American society.
As to why so many supposed “Americans” can turn to an ideology so diametrically opposed to Americanism, and what can be done to stop it, that is a discussion for another time. For now, a dangerous precedent has been set for the long term. Modern Socialism—MARXIAN Socialism—is from beginning to end a criminal enterprise. It is literally organized crime rising out of the underworld to rule a nation. It begins with theft and it ends with murder. That’s what Mamdani’s voters injected into American politics. Given the destructive, bloody history of Marxism over the past 100+ years, to be a socialist today is an unforgivable sin. Ignorance is no excuse. There are no innocent socialists.
