New York Reruns: What Mamdani Means for New York

It won’t work this time either.

Some advice for leftists in NYC: Remember Huntingdon.

[Vaduz]

Democrats have worked for years importing illegals for the right time for them to bring the likes of Mamdani to power because they know how to control the ignorant third world imports.

Marxism on the march

[Joe 6-pack]

It has been said that if all the world were to embrace pure marxism save one remote island that clung to the ideals of free markets, the inevitable abject failures of the communist world would be blamed on that tiny island's failure to get with the program.

Such will be the case with Mamadani's NYC. When the producers flee to freer, lower tax jurisdictions, it will be blamed on those more business friendly cities and states for providing them with a more attractive option. If only those producers could have been forced to stay in NY to be bled dry, it will be said, Mamadani's utopia would have been realized.

[brownsfan]

It means the rest of us can watch NYC burn.

[Kid Shelleen]

Just look at Chicago or LA. They already have commie mayors.

[libertylover]

I have little doubt you are right.

[oldtech]

No matter what Mamdani says, it still spells out horse hockey to many of us. If New Yorkers don’t see it yet, they will if he is elected. To expect everything he says to work out is just not conceivable to any thinking person.

Han Gruber Damammi is going to build a #5 (fingered) Sockittumi Tower overlooking his new muzzie kingdom of the Big Camel Turd.

Oh, Gotham, if this is accurate...

New data shows illegals in New York are being paid more on SNAP food stamps than American citizens

Illegals receive 65% more money for food than American citizens

“The average American on SNAP and EBT gets about $7.59 per person per day to buy food. But the city of New York was handing out prepaid food debit cards to recently arrived migrants, many of whom were here without legal status, worth about $12.52 per person per day.

That means migrants in New York City shelters were receiving 65% more in daily food benefits than American families trying to get by in the exact same city.”

“The city doesn’t even give an extra food card for struggling citizens, to seniors on fixed incomes, to homeless veterans sleeping on the same streets. But show up yesterday without documentation, and you’re prioritized.

This isn’t about compassion, it’s about political choices. And those choices are telling you exactly where American citizens land on the priority list, which is dead last.”

NYC has RCV for a reason.

[JoJo354]

“The Clash Of Civilization” guy? I will have to read up on him.

[Rummyfan]

Remember the intoxication that greeted the French Revolution in 1789 or the Russian Revolution in 1917. At first, it was all “what bliss it was in that dawn to be alive.”

Then the heads start to roll and the killing goes on and on and finally a blood-soaked tyranny takes root.

[Night Hides Not]

I recommend reading Atlas Shrugged, it’s a primer for what’s to come in NYC, Chicago and other blue cities and states. Much of the rhetoric comes from Directive 10-289.

[Rummyfan]

As the philosopher Roger Scruton observed in an essay on the French Revolution, “the revolutonary consciousness lives by abstract ideas and regards people as the material upon which to conduct its intellectual experiments.” Man is “born free,” Rousseau famously wrote, but is “everywhere in chains.” Alas, most men did not, according to him, truly understand the nature or extent of their servitude. It was his job to enlighten them—to force them, as he put it in one chilling epithet, to be free.

Orwellian....

[Bon of Babble]

What Mamdani means for New York:

One thing you can say about Mamdani is he is upfront about what he wants to do to NY City: Drive off the tax base, defund the police, keep ICE out of "his" city and allow the homeless to take over the free bus and subway system:

[Netz]

Communism isn’t really on the march now that Mamdani is for some unfathomable reason, popular. What IS on the march is Islam, cloaked in some perverse Socialist/Communist/Populist cloak.

Mamdami represents not Karl Marx but the Muslim Brotherhood. His real supporters are the Islamic Brotherhood (read Al Qaieda, HAMAS, Qatar, Iraq, Islamic Jihad, the PLO, the PALEOstinians, Hezbollah, Iran and the likes of Rev. Louis Farrakhan, Barack Obama and a host of extremists).

Bin Laden ghost will win and America will lose. What was started on 9/11 is now bearing fruit and Americans in New York are either clueless or seditious.

Good luck New York and watch how the amount of Mosques spread out everywhere. This is not just a religion, this is a war strategy. The Arabs say, “Schwhya, schwaya” or slowly but surely.

[TalBlack]

Has anyone plotted or tried to project Mamdanis likely course and possibilities in the real NYC political environment? Is the city council on board with him?

[Vaduz]

Communism or Islam or any other entity all have the same goal and will work with or help each other for the same goal.

However in the end they will battle each other to be the owner of it.

History repeats
