They run as “Democratic Socialists,” - and are gaining power at local levels - three in New York City this past week, one in Colorado - and, of course, Mayor of New York City, Commie Mamdani

When they say they want to “seize the means of production,” “take over apartment buildings” (from evil landlords!) have government-run grocery stores, free buses and child care...

“Zohran Mamdani stated in a 2021 video that the ‘end goal’ of his political project is seizing the means of production.”

“Mayor Zohran Mamdani plans to transfer control of apartment buildings from ‘negligent’ landlords to the city, nonprofits, community land trusts, or tenant groups under his ‘Block by Block’ housing agenda.”

“Zohran Mamdani, proposes establishing a network of five government-owned and operated grocery stores.” (seizing the control of food).

How is any of that different from what the Bolsheviks implemented in the Soviet Union? And, how did that turn out? (you’ll never know if you went to an American public school).

It's the same thing. And we'll have the same results.

They are actually saying the want to SEIZE the means of economic prosperity; seize the free markets.
They want to be the sole distributor of personal liberty.
