Earlier, we told you about Zohran Mamdani's doomed promise to make groceries "cheaper" for New Yorkers. As we explained, Mamdani will use government tax dollars to subsidize subpar food at "public" grocery stores and this move will force other grocers to compete, lead to empty shelves, and eventually food rationing.
But that's exactly what Democratic Socialists like Zohran Mamdani want. How do we know that? Listen to the most alarming part of his speech last night and it'll explain everything:
“We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve and no concern too small for it to care about."
Genuinely one of the most horrifying quotes I've ever heard from a politician.
Ronald Reagan once said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’”
And Mamdani's statement is that. On steroids.
It's clear that Zohran Mamdani and his socialist allies believe they know best how to run our lives. Back in August, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) made it clear they want to abolish the traditional family structure, calling it "inherently repressive, racist, sexist" and that it "promotes capitalism." Who will step in to fill the void? The government, of course.
Mamdani also wants to abolish private property, which would make everyone reliant on government-subsidized housing, and his housing advisor, Cea Weaver, believes property ownership is a tool of "White supremacy" and is "racist." Weaver has called for the abolition of private property and the impoverishment of the White middle class. That would also make people reliant on government assistance for housing.
But there's something far more hypocritical in this statement, the blatant communism aside. There are, in fact, concerns "too small" for Mamdani to care about.
For example, crime and violence. He doesn't care about the New Yorkers concerned with rampant crime on the subways and the state's catch-and-release policies that cut loose career criminals like Ramon Rivera. Despite a lengthy criminal record, Rivera was released early from Rikers only to be arrested the same day for theft. He was released again and then fatally stabbed three people.
Mamdani also wants to stop the NYPD from responding to domestic violence calls. It's clear he doesn't care about the concerns of women and men who are living with abusive partners and will do nothing to protect them. Violence isn't a "social construct" to them or their families. But that's what Mamdani believes, and he calls for the abolition of the police because they're "racist" and "anti-queer."
Speaking of "anti-queer," Mamdani doesn't seem to care about the gay New Yorkers who might be concerned about his relationship with an Ugandan politician, Rebecca Kadaga, who wanted to imprison gays for life, or his friendship with Imam Siraj Wahhaj, who called gays the "disease of society" and urged Muslims to bully gays into joining Islam. Even Mamdani's own father bullied and harassed a gay Ugandan professor, Stella Nyanzi.
As for women, their concerns about "trans women" in their sports and safe spaces? Mamdani won't care about those. He supports radical trans ideology and trans inclusion. Women's thoughts and opinions don't matter.
Nor does Mamdani care about the Jews in New York City, who see his push to "globalize the intifada" as a direct threat to their safety and an indication that Islam will rule the Big Apple and not the democratic, liberal Western values that are the bedrock of American freedom, individualism, and liberties. Actor and comedian Michael Rapaport warned that "globalize the intifada" is actually violence against all of us, and he's correct.
Parents who want their children to have good educational opportunities also aren't worthy of Mamdani's consideration, it seems. Mamdani plans to abolish gifted and talented programs at New York schools, in the name of "equity," of course. Mamdani himself had the privilege of attending an elite private school, a fact that highlights the notion that "some pigs are more equal than others," as Orwell aptly put it.
You get the government you vote for, and sometimes you get it good and hard. New York is in for a rude awakening.
They feel the pain of higher living expenses but apparently don’t link it with high taxes and fees. So what’s the solution? More taxes!
Don’t forget in communism they are always one murder away from paradise.
In a year or two only halal food will be allowed to be sold in NYC.
Feed the homeless to the hungry.
I saw east Berlin in 1962
“Some of the East German Police were rude and suspicious. Others were suspicious and rude.”

But these stores operate for a while, then just start getting record requests of all their invoices, inventory reports, etc. Just to see how much is stolen from them.

Government runs stores historically have very little to sell in the first place, let alone steal from
“This is going to be very interesting to watch.”

As long as it doesn’t affect other states.......but I fear it somehow will.
I'm okay with that. Cops hate responding to those calls anyway. Let's send in the social workers. We will issue them all their very own body bag.
What will really happen is no one will respond at all.
But you just love those 'Bad Boys' who like to beat on you. Sorry ladies you wanted it, you voted for it and now you are on your own when it comes to self defense. You could buy a gun but you voted against that as well.
Darwin had an entire theory devoted to you.
Where are all the domestic violence/women’s safety advocacy groups on that one?

The are all atwitter over his looks, energy, and youthfulness. Other than that they are keeping quiet
Unfortunately, they will wake up with the fleas of socialism and move to your city and spread the infection.
Democrats, especially on the East Coast, love paying higher taxes - they think the government needs more money to solve their problems ...

NYC is, in muslim eyes, now officially a muslim city. They could not do it with 911, but they succeeded with the ballot box.
“...this move will force other grocers to compete...”
Why? If they wait a short time, the access to those low priced groceries will run out with purchases and they will not be able get them. The subsidized stores will go empty and life gets back to the regular stores. The subsidized stores were never built to handle that type of volume so when theirs gets used up and the shelves dry, the old regulars become the go to. Maybe give it a week. The communist has no idea how business is accomplished. Capitalism is not done how he wants to do it.

This idiot is going to crash and burn spectacularly. The only question is how many people are going to be harmed before he does.

I’ve been to East Berlin in ‘81. It gave me an intimate understanding of the fact that communism doesn’t work. I’ve never forgotten that lesson.

Perhaps that’ll finally change.
I hope every jackass who voted Leftist in NYC gets their butts burned Bigly by this Communist/Muslim piece of sh*t.
You made your bed, NYC, now suffer the consequences.
