Ugandan-born, socialism-loving New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has emerged as a “kingmaker” in the Democrat party, says Phillip Elliot of TIME.
Two prominent House Democrats lost their primaries to insurgent rivals while a third left-wing candidate defeated the Brooklyn Borough chief,” he writes. “All together, the results demonstrated the fragility of an Establishment imprimatur, the power of the New York Mayor’s blessing, and the ascendancy of socialism.
Elliott then goes on to do this silly thing that Democrats have done for a few decades now, and suggests that this “ascendancy of socialism” is not, as Donald Trump and some others have recently observed, tantamount to an ideological embrace of communism. “There is a difference between socialists and communists,” he says, while scoffing that this “distinction does not matter to Trump or other Republicans.”
In truth, that “distinction” exists only in the minds of Democrats who are hopeful that the party is not currently being swallowed by communism in the same way that Eastern Europe and much of Asia was swallowed by communism during the Cold War.
Let’s first consider that Karl Marx and his millions of his ideological offspring have often employed the words “communism” and “socialism” interchangeably. The mechanism to reach “communism” or “socialism,” whether it be democracy or violent revolution, is incidental.
And neither approach to reaching communism is mutually exclusive. After all, the murderous, revolutionary communist regime of North Vietnam went by the official name of the “Democratic Republic of Vietnam” back when it was trying to convince the world that its ambitions to subjugate the South Vietnamese via violence were a “democratic” effort. To this day, the backward, famine-inducing leadership of communist North Korea is officially known as the “Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.”
In short, “democracy” is often more window dressing than a political

Schumer must be afraid that the DSA will take him out.
The foundation has been laid. First the Dem party, next, the entire country.
“Struggle.”
There is a very slippery downhill slope from today’s socialism to communism. Those who fail to see this, including the author of this pap, contribute to the country’s demise.

You’ve got Soros and his ilk bankrolling the radicals with millions of dollars.
Add to that voter fraud.
So their plans are very doable.
Only the GOP stands in their way.
I kid about the GOP, of course. Most Republican politicians are more concerned with making happy hour at their local country club.
We desperately need another Ronald Reagan.
What happened to the good old days when the party could buy Bernie a new dacha and he would go away for four years?
Well, it’s the perfect incubator….thats why.
Why “struggle” to contain it? I thought commie-ism was just peachy.
Comrades, it will be a mixture of the best of Capitalism and Communism for the privileged.
And a mixture of the worst of Capitalism and Communism for the majority. To get the picture, think about the PPACA for a few seconds.
“What happened to the good old days when the party could buy Bernie a new dacha and he would go away for four years?”
Which one is he at now?
Katt Williams said something in passing that is ages old and absolutely true...
“Satan can’t create anything, that includes blessings for his people.”
Numbers 22
“You’ve got Soros and his ilk bankrolling the radicals with millions of dollars.”
We have notoriously corrupt, gutless politicians. Soros is just one entity funding the downfall of this country. The rise of muslim politicians here, and elsewhere in the West is being funded as well. I’d guess the Arab nations are all in on it. They have lots of oil money, that we helped them acquire. Finally, there is little doubt the Chinese are buying American politicians and financing the push to communism.
Kruschev was right... without firing a single shot.
Imagine Democrats are 55% of the voters and 55% of Democrats are Donkey Communists.
The Donkey Communists can win the primary elections and then the general elections.

Eliminate the primary system. With ranked choice voting it is no longer necessary.
Fighting in Congress to send middle-class income and property taxation cap constitutional amendments to the states would make Congress turn deep red come 2027.
Communism is a cancer.
You can let a cancer metastasize and kill its host. Politically, you can let communism take over a society, destroy it, and then have to deal with the consequences (e.g. the former Soviet Union).
Or you can kill the cancer by any available means, and hope the host survives the purge. The smaller the cancer, the more positive the prognosis, so removing the cancer by any available means sooner rather than later is better.
It was Reagen that said, " Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same."
Someone posted on FR this morning something about young people showing up for collage with the knowledge and mentality of pre-adolescent children.
It would seem that schools and the teachers in them are lost to the commies...
The two-party primary system permits a 30% minority of the voters to take control.
How so? All of them were already communists.
