Zohran Mamdani fans have no clue of the horror ‘socialists in a hurry’ unleash

It’s been said that if you’re not a Communist at 20, you have no heart — but if you’re not a capitalist by 30, you have no brain. That’s all too befitting the sad farce of New York’s mayoral race, led by front-runner Zohran Mamdani.

How does Mamdani, as the only major candidate who comes close to the 20-30 age range, measure up?

Mamdani’s smiling, youthful energy attracted many real 20- to 30-year-old New Yorkers, as well as many older 20-somethings-at-heart.

His wealth of socialist/Communist ideas — abolishing private property, seizing the means of production, defunding the police, freezing rent, providing free public transportation, establishing government-run stores and more — make many such 20-somethings swoon.

Yet wiser and more sober minds know just how such notions would hurt the city.

Yes, Mamdani is over 30 — he’s 33 — but maybe he’s just a late bloomer, not having achieved much for his age.

Given his feather-light resume and fantasyland agenda, some over-30 supporters who should know better nonetheless assure us not to worry; he won’t be able to accomplish what he’s saying.

That’s a head-scratcher: They disagree with Mamdani’s core positions and also recognize his lack of ability and achievements — but will vote for him because he will fail at his agenda!

History abounds with the horrors of the communism that fuels his and his supporters’ ideologies.

Immigrants who experienced communism recoil at seeing it advocated here.

From 1917 to 1987, Communist regimes killed an estimated 169 million people through executions, purges, forced labor, torture, imprisonment and mass starvation — in Communist China, the Soviet Union, Angola, Cambodia, Cuba, Ethiopia, Poland and more.

You make a fair point. Teacher unions don’t get involved in lesson planning. They have no influence there. But they do get involved in school board elections.

In the big-city district where I taught, usually one or two board members were backed by the union. But the other members came from all walks of life. Housewives, attorneys, etc.

I was amazed at how the board as a whole could make so many bad decisions. Over and over again.

It is not horrors. His supporters are commie trash. Two characteristics: the ones left in charge will FINALLY get to bully anyone they want, and I will be left in charge.

That is their worldview. Their desire of life in general. What they want with all their souls.

Go look at some TikTok videos of wokies melting down with TDS. That is what they feel with all their being: me, me, me, me.........

Then there’s a real disonnect there. NO ONE voted for them and they get to play God with chidren’s lives?

One more thing I should have mentioned. I taught in a big, Democrat-run city.
The Union was corrupt. And the School Board was incompetent.

Then there were all those DEI consultants.

I have no idea if it’s the same in suburban or rural districts.
(I hope not.)

President Trump should tell them: you want to be governed by a commie, fine. Not one red cent of taxpayers money should subsidize your little experiment. You are on your own. Oh and by the way, all of the wetbacks are your responsibility. Any crimes they commit against American citizens is on you and if they leave your city and commit crimes, they will be summarily executed.
