He did it because Communism cannot exist any other way.
Although our modern socialists' promise of greater freedom is genuine and sincere, in recent years observer after observer has been impressed by the unforeseen consequences of socialism, the extraordinary similarity in many respects of the conditions under 'communism' and 'fascism'. As the writer Peter Drucker expressed it in 1939,
'the complete collapse of the belief in the attainability of freedom and equality through Marxism has forced Russia to travel the same road toward a totalitarian society of unfreedom and inequality which Germany has been following. Not that communism and fascism are essentially the same. Fascism is the stage reached after communism has proved an illusion, and [already in 1939!] it has proved as much an illusion in Russia as in pre-Hitler Germany.
____________— F A Hayek, The Road to Serfdom (May, 1945 Reader’s Digest Condensed Version)
So it is more precise to say that “He did it because he was a Fascist.”

I’m going to say something totally UN-PC which any leftists reading this post will jump on and say, as the little boy in the video clip does, “it’s racist”.

This is a qualified statement and is in no way intended to insult the decent black mayors of America who don’t fall for this communist propaganda shit like junkies grabbing it free needles and heroin.

Most black mayors of major US cities (as far as I know, all have been Democrats), and a few mayors of smaller, majority black cities (Birmingham, Ala, and a couple in Mississippi - Chokwe Lumumba and his son -, and a couple in New Jersey (one was run by the son of Marxist LeRoi Jones/aka Ras or Amiri or Amin Baraka etc, are the greatest dupes of communism in America, or are hardcore reds just by themselves.

Look at the ones who have gone to Cuba, to Venezuela under Chavez/Maduro, La Paz, Bolivia (Morales), Quito, Ecuador, Managua, Nicaragua and maybe San Salvador, El Salvador when the reds of the FLMN were in control.

This mayor of New Orleans is just another little Marxist-lite halfwit in a long line of marxist half-wits to make “the trip” to their Marxist Meccas.

I’m just going to name a few and postulate that some others did something similarly stupid. Freepers can add to the list for others to read and KEEP.
* Bernie Sanders - Soviet Union. A Red coming home to Red Heaven. Former mayor of Burlington, Vt.
* Kaiser Wilhelm DeBlasio and his red wife - Cuba
* The red mayors of Oakland, Cal. - Quan (maoist), Dellums (any kind of Marxism), Shirek, etc.
* Red mayors of San Francisco - As I recall, the one-time DA of S. F. (or LA) was Communist Party thug KO Hallinan.
* The late Communist Party mayor of Detroit, Coleman Young and his successors at the City Council Maryann Mahaffey and Erma Henderson, among others
* The red mayors, over time, of Seattle and Portland (don’t know where they went but you can bet if they didn’t visit commielands in person, they did it mentally and verbally.
* Mayor Harold Washington, Chicago, late 1980’s (d). Hardcore Marxist. Surrounded himself with Marxists and their allies.
* Mayor O’Malley of Baltimore - hardcore Marxist
* Mayors of Newark (one of the Baraka kids), Corey Booker
* Mayor Marion Barry - DC. Crook, drug addict, adulterer, wife beater and friends of key Democrat/Statehold politicians - Marxists: Julius Hobson and wife; Hilda Mason; Sammie Abbott (CPUSA rabble-rouser for decades); Josephine Butler (CPUSA key front leader in DC, i.e. The World Peace Council, US Peace Council)
* Minneapolis - have any of them been sane and just a little to the right of Stalin? Just askin’?
* Madison, Wisc. - a couple red mayors in the past
* Milwaukee - Socialist lightweights and some harder reds
* Cleveland - some black mayors have been very far left
* Austin, Tx - a red city but don’t know much about their leadership
* New Mexico - governors, mayors, etc. Some have been pretty far Left, pro-Castro, etc.
* Smaller California cities - BERKELEY; Santa Monica; L.A. too - their City Council is the equivalent of the Soviet Duma; etc.
* Colorado - Marxists and fruitcakes at the top
* New Jersey Gov. Murphy - certifiable insane

JOIN IN!. I’m a little to weak from an illness to keep on thinking.

Remember, whatever you contribute to a “Warning List” like this is going to be copied and used by our side in this ongoing ideological war with the Left.

The more information, the better.
