We underestimate Mamdani and the 'eat-the-rich' movement at our peril.

Once communism kicks in, there's no way out.

Sure, communism has always failed and will ultimately fail in New York City, but one should expect early “funded” success.

The market factors that trigger capital flight take time. Wealthy people and corporations take time to relocate to more tax-friendly environments. It takes time to sell whatever real estate assets one may possess in “the City.” With increased supply and a depressed forecast for investment, many will either hold their asset(s) or take the loss. Either option delays the inevitable.

The DNC, globalists, and Zohran Mamdani’s Muslim, and sadly, Jewish, backers will be wont to “prove” their economic model a success.

Expect billions (if not trillions) to be thrown at New York City in the early stages of Mamdani’s tenure.

How many California billionaires will be all-too willing to donate to the cause? How about, the Qataris, Egyptians, Iranian mullahs, and other foreign governments associated with “the Muslim Brotherhood”? Rich leftists, some of whom are Jewish, will happily contribute, hoping that they are eaten (punished) last.

Communism can succeed “for a time.” Just ask a Venezuelan.

What then transpires is what has been exposed in the Schumer Shutdown – the Democrats have been buying constituencies for decades.

A few illegal aliens getting healthcare subsidies here, well-connected NGOs getting government grift over there, and 42 million Americans (and non-Americans) looking to gubmint for next month's food stipend.

Mamdani is only expanding on the roadmap that progressives have been laying for a generation – a dependent constituency is a loyal constituency.

The strict gun laws were just communists planning ahead.

Right. Normally after being elected to power communists would move to fix all future elections to marginalize opposition. Fortunately for Ma’amdami that has already been done. One less thing.

It doesn’t matter if the donor class and foreign entities bail out the communist government of NYC. The economy of NYC could completely collapse and the blame would be placed on President Trump. These are communists, they don’t need logic or reason, they simply know orange man bad. The people of NYC will accept that Trump is the problem and will continue to love their new communist overlord.

TRULY WEALTHY PEOPLE CAN RELOCATE INTO NEW LOCATIONS WITHOUT SELLING CURRENT HOLDINGS.

IF THEY TAKE A LOSS ON CURRENT HOLDINGS===TAX REDUCTIONS.

SAFETY OF SELF & BUSINESS OPERATIONS TAKES PRIORITY

Atlas Shrugged is a primer for what is happening in NYC. Mamdani’s rent-freeze is straight out of Directive 10-289.

The Cloward - Piven strategy involves overwhelming the system to the point of collapse to instigate a revolution that will overthrow the US system of government and allow progressives to seize control

Mandami is at the leading edge of this revolution

He is not trying to govern NYC, he is working to push the city over the edge and into a state of crisis and civil unrest

There's a line in the Ten Years After song "I’d Love to Change the World" that always struck me as backasswards:

Tax the rich, feed the poor
'Til there are no rich no more

Why not

'Til there are no POOR no more???

If you lived in Germany in the late 30’s looked around and saw the truth what would you do?

Early ones left with their wealth. Later ones left without their wealth. The last ones couldn’t leave.

I don’t think New York can implement the last option. That is one difference?

But it requires the rest of us to stand firm on our freedom and responsibilities. Note I used the word responsibilities.

We only have to look at what that moslem Maoist Mayor of London is doing to that city to understand what can happen in New York.

As the saying goes, you can vote your way into communism, but you have to shoot your way out.
