The pattern is clear: foreign born, Neo-Marxist academics come to America, work at major universities, teach Neo-Marxist ideas to their students, and their children, inheriting their parents’ ideologies, enter politics.
Pattern recognition -- the brain’s ability to perceive similarities and relationships between objects, numbers, and events -- is used in IQ tests as a way to help measure cognitive intelligence.
Here’s a pattern to consider.
Zohran Mamdani was sworn in as mayor of New York City on the steps of an old, abandoned City Hall subway station early on New Year's Day.
His father, Mahmood Mamdani FBA (Fellow of the British Academy) is a Ugandan academic, political commentator, and the Herbert Lehman Professor of Government at Columbia University. He also serves as the chancellor of Kampala International University in Uganda. Mahmood teaches African and international Politics, colonialism and post-colonialism, and his work is based on Marxist theory, although he identifies as a democratic socialist, not as a Marxist.
His son, Zohran, identifies as a Democratic Socialist as well, and is a card-carrying member of the Democratic Socialists of America. Zohran was born in Uganda, but is a naturalized U.S. citizen. However, his mother, left-wing filmmaker Mira Nair, explains; Zohran… “was born in Uganda, raised between India and America. He is at home in many places. He thinks of himself as a Ugandan and as an Indian.”
Both Mamdani’s parents are Indian born, but live in America. Judging from their work and rhetoric, they don’t like America very much. Neither does their son. However, they seem to like living here.
Like Zohran Mamdani’s mother and father, former Democratic Party presidential candidate Kamala Harris’ mother, Shyamala Gopalan, was born in India. Gopalan became a naturalized American citizen in 1970. She was involved in the American civil rights movement while a graduate student

The long march refers to Mao’s take over of China. Its children would be today’s CCP.
The "long march through the institutions" is a strategy associated with Rudi Dutschke, inspired by Antonio Gramsci's ideas, aimed at achieving societal change by infiltrating and influencing key cultural and political institutions rather than through direct confrontation.
"To extend the base of the student movement, Rudi Dutschke has proposed the strategy of the long march through the institutions: working against the established institutions while working within them, but not simply by 'boring from within', rather by 'doing the job', learning (how to program and read computers, how to teach at all levels of education, how to use the mass media, how to organize production, how to recognize and eschew planned obsolescence, how to design, et cetera), and at the same time preserving one's own consciousness in working with others. The long march includes the concerted effort to build up counterinstitutions. They have long been an aim of the movement, but the lack of funds was greatly responsible for their weakness and their inferior quality. They must be made competitive. This is especially important for the development of radical, "free" media. The fact that the radical Left has no equal access to the great chains of information and indoctrination is largely responsible for its isolation."
“ they seem to like living here”
And living well
Do they pay their Ugandan servants the same as their American servants
Zohran pings my gay-dar, maybe just me
Herewith a true Distinction Without a Difference.
Democrat socialists do the looting.
Then the Marxists follow with the shooting.
There seems to be a bit of that, indeed.
To paraphrase someone else, “India is not sending us their best.” I would be glad to see a ban on Indian immigrants for a couple of years at least. I have not been impressed with them.
Excellent, concise analysis.
That pattern began in two waves, both from Germany. One was in 1848-9 subsequent to the Marxist kerfuffle, and again in 1933 when Hitler was poised to snuff the Institute for Social Research.
Antonio Gramsci, for those who don’t know.
General Augusto Pinochet had it the right way when dealing with commies.
Effectively the same people imported them both.
