Is there a way to prevent those who voted for Mamdani from leaving NYC?

Great discussion on Debs—he was an important historical figure who has had a major influence on modern leftists (even though most do not know it).

Here is an old tract he wrote on the subject of immigration—his argument that leftists from all over the world should be welcome in the country to help crush the evil capitalists:

It is interesting to note that Debs used the term social justice—remember, this is 1918. He also used the words “greed” and “exploitation”; words currently (and continuously) used as

___________________

Debs was not really original.
All those terms have been used by Marxists all over the world, since Marx.
Well tested demagoguery, and proven to work everywhere in the world.
It bothers me that people are still so stupid to fall for that.

While socialism is promising paradise on Earth, it is the main cause of the most human misery since Marx conceived it!

In 1918, Woodrow Wilson’s administration arrested, tried, convicted and imprisoned him for sedition. Debs had to run his 1920 campaign from his cell in a federal prison.

President Warren G. Harding, a conservative Republican, sprung him with a presidential pardon.

“Democratic socialism” is an oxymoron.

I would like to thank a certain private equity company for acquiring a Dallas based company about 16 years ago, enabling this skinny dumbass western New Yorker to stumble into an all expense paid executive relocation program.

There’s things I miss from there, but life is 1,000 times better here for my family and I.

Yes mammadammadingdong, yes Hochul, and all the other Leftists - give it to them good and hard. The day will come when people wake up and see what a disaster Dems have made of NY and NYC. I hope they make you pay equally for it.

When mami enacts sharia law, New Yorkers will finally realize what a disaster he is.

'The dawn of a better day' for New York City will not be what they imagined.

No kidding.

A better day for those who fled to Florida and the elite Communist Commissars - just like in the old Soviet Union - while the rest of the population suffers.

Wonder if the LGBT crowd will come to regret their vote...

the Rise of Democratic Socialism

Stop using euphemisms. It's hard core communism that will be run by the Muslim brotherhood funded by global crony capitalism. It's the perfect storm of three dystopian brands of nihilism.

The Debs quote is, to most people, obscure. It is deliberately so. Most Democrat voters have no idea who Eugene V. Debs was, what he did, or the ideology he espoused—but that ignorance is paving the way for hardcore socialism.

Ever since karl marx started the idea of state supported communism, it has been a total failure every place it has been tried, but that doesn't deter dummies from jumping on the "free stuff bandwagon".

The fact that the pilgrims tried communism after arriving in America and it failed should be a shining light on that system.

Any system that is contrary to human nature is destined to fail.

END OF STORY.

Milwaukee had Socialist mayors from the 1910s to 1960. They were “gas and water socialists” who were able to deliver services without the corruption and cronyism of the Democrats. The Republicans, then as now, weren’t that good at urban politics. People who voted for McCarthy and Eisenhower might well have voted for the last Socialist mayor. Of course, the DSA is more radical than the old Socialist Party, which largely closed up, thinking that FDR had given them what they wanted.

“Debsian” was a poster here in the very early days. I guess as a socialist he didn’t feel very welcome here.
