Are they Democrat socialists or just deadbeat scammers?

We admit it: It’s just delicious to see so many “commie cosplayers” exposed as frauds — and the hits keep coming.

It turns out DSA-NYC co-chair Gustavo Gordillo not only has his parents paying for massive renovations of the $1.5 million home they bought for him and his brother in Bed-Stuy, he’s also using non-union labor for the work — and the local community board opposed the re-do plan as creating a structure out of whack with the block, with experts saying the planned “beach house” clashes with the historic district’s vibe.

Then again, Gordillo got suspended from the IBEW membership that he’s bragged about — reportedly because he couldn’t be bothered to actually do the work of apprenticeship.

Meanwhile, he allegedly stiffed his Crown Heights landlord on three months of rent for the place he’d been staying in during the Bed-Stuy rebuild.

And of course equally-privileged Morris Katz, the lefty-loving campaign consultant for Mayor Zohran Mamdani and former Maine candidate Graham Platner, also reportedly stiffed his landlord of $14,000 as he left the Williamsburg pad unit stuffed with trash when he vacated.

“When you come from a rich family, you don’t have your priorities in order,” that building’s super, Felix Barbosa, told The Post.

We don’t think that’s true for all children from wealthy families, but it does seem to apply to a lot of them who turn into ultra-lefties.

Mamdani ally Tracy Rosenthal, who grew up in her Grammy-winning dad’s posh Manhattan crib, actually brags of bankrupting her landlord with a years-long rent strike.

That African immigrant lost the building to foreclosure, amid a sad saga that for a while had the city poised to take control.

I hope they’re just deadbeat scammers. Because deadbeat scammers aren’t driven to make any fundamental transformations. They’re just in it for the easy buck.

Barack Obama is a good example that.

A true socialist is different. They do want that fundamental transformation, and will push the envelope to get it.

I really can’t think of a good example of that in American history. Except for perhaps Eugene Debs.

(I was going to say Bernie Sanders. But he’s easily bought off.)

Liars, scammers, crooks, and thieves. Democrats are all the same.

There's W.E.B. DuBois, who social-ized the Civil rights movement over 100 years ago, and when he couldn't make America socialist, left and spent his latter years in Ghana.

It is the great tragedy of Blackdom that DuBois' version of civil rights became the norm, instead of Booker T. Washington's pro-American version, which lives on in people like Thomas Sowell and Clarence Thomas.

That DSA candidate for mayor Providence is living in a dream world. None of these people are realistic however they are multiplying.

If it’s “liberal”, trust me, it’s always on a scam. And that includes RINOs.

When they say “tax the rich” they really mean “make mommy and daddy keep paying for everything I want, forever”.

I’ve always thought that calling Democrats and Democrat voters “Socialists” gives them too much credit. A Socialist buys into the theoretical model of Socialism - to each according to his needs and from each according to his ability. That is not what the Democrats are selling and not what Dem votes are voting for. The Dem model is “gimme gimme gimme and have someone else pay for it.” The Dems have created the mythical “rich” who will pay for everything once they pay their “fair share” of taxes. Once they do, every single Dem social spending give-away will be possible. But those greedy bastards are too selfish and evil to do so.
