The left’s embrace of Islam and socialism
American Thinker ^ | October 28, 2025 | Kevin Finn

Posted on 11/02/2025 5:48:07 AM PST by MinorityRepublican

How much further left will the Democrats go? They’re increasingly aligning themselves with ideologies historically associated with violence and oppression: Islam and socialism or communism. Their incorporation of Marxist thought and accommodation of the influences of radical Islam threaten the American values of individual liberty, free enterprise, and national security.

Communist leaders slaughtered over 100 million people in the 20th century through regimes like the Soviet Union, Maoist China, and North Vietnam. When Democrats advocate for socialism, wealth redistribution, and expanded government control, they echo the ideologies of those regimes. Figures like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez openly identify as “democratic socialists,” promoting policies such as Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, and student debt forgiveness. Conservatives view these as steps toward a command economy, eroding capitalism. The Democrat (they’re not democratic) party’s 2020 platform emphasized “economic justice” and taxing the wealthy, which conservatives liken to Marxist class warfare.

When conservatives shine a light on the Democrats’ agenda, they invariably respond that “no Democrat is advocating for seizing the means of production or eliminating private property,” yet New York City residents are poised to elect a socialist and Islamist mayor who openly advocates for those very things. See for yourself here, here, and here. Zohran Mamdani is on the record saying, “We need a socialist New York because the market cannot be what determines the distribution of dignity.”

Bernie Sanders often cites the Nordic countries, which blend capitalism with strong social safety nets, as socialist success stories. Denmark’s former foreign minister disagrees with Sanders, stating that “Denmark is a market economy.”

Democrats claim that their goal is to address the inequalities exacerbated by globalization and automation. The danger lies in potential overreach: ballooning deficits; stifled innovation; and dependency on government, which weakens America’s economic edge against rivals like China.

They figure enemy of my enemy is my friend.

They also figure, once their common enemy is defeated, they will be able to defeat the other group.

Most leftist are typically anti-Semitic... So it’s a perfect match.

They hate successful capitalist and people with more money than they have... And they always think there’s a Jewish person involved with every successful capitalist venture.

The Muslims hate Jews... They hate Christians... And they hate pretty much everybody.

It’s obviously the ‘hate’ factor that draws these two groups of evil people together.

If it is a contest between left wing socialists/communists or radical Islamists, I think I can predict the ultimate winner now: radical Islamists.

They should just change their name to The Ba’ath Party.

It will change once the Muslims start tossing the liberal’s favorite personalities from roofs. Of course, it will be too late then.

“They are just paths to absolute power.”

Fact. The left will burn our nation to the ground to rule over the ashes.

I read that if Sweden was a state of the U.S., it would be the poorest state in the union.

The people that hired me back in my working days were the ones that had more of the money I was after. It didn’t bother me that they had it. The more they had, the more they were able to pay. Admittedly, I did not have quite the ambition I may have needed. I just managed to work at something I thought I liked & at the time it was better than some jobs that others had sought.

Put that on pay-per-view. RuPaul's Drag Race: The Rooftop Edition. It will draw a huge and enthusiastic audience.

Yeah, that’s what those hard-left Democrat party apparatchiks in Minneapolis thought. Didn’t work out so well for them.

Obama was the first Islam communist. If not for Obama there would not be a Ma’amdami. Not to mention both were born in an African country by rabid anti American anti white colonialists.

Leftism and islam are allies because both first require the Destructionof Western Civilization before they can implement their respective dystopias.

After which, the muslims will murder the leftists. But the leftists won’t realize that until the day after.

The left’s alliance with Islamists is due to them both being anti semitic Anti Semitism has always been a deep under current on the left and many leftists see the Islamists, who hold a substantial voting block in many urban areas, as a means to power. What the left doesn’t understand is that militant Islam is all conquering and will impose their religious ideals once they are in power.
