Zohran Mamdani's victory in New York City's mayoral race shows what's coming for America's big cities — because it follows the socialist-populist playbook once wielded by Fidel Castro, Hugo Chávez, and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.
Each promised equality and delivered ruin. Each created enemies to consolidate control. Each left behind poverty, censorship, and exile. New York, once the capital of capitalism, has now chosen a man eager to run the same playbook. And when the consequences come — as they always do — they won't stay contained to the five boroughs.
Florida has become the new New York, and Miami-Dade the new capital of opportunity in America today. The difference? This community knows better. Ours is a population forged by those who fled socialism's misery, while far too many New Yorkers still daydream about its imagined rewards.
Go to a bakery in Little Havana, and a man will tell you over a cafecito how the brutal Castro dictatorship's foot-soldiers, blind with ideological belief, expropriated his Catholic church and tortured his nephew for dissent. Or go to Doral and order some tequeños. A Venezuelan woman will tell you how the Chavista revolutionary thugs intimidated homeowners or walked people out of small businesses, which were then given to connected government workers. In Argentina, President Javier Milei is still un-banging the pots of an entitled political class whose raises by government edict caused hyperinflation.

They did deliver equality in the sense that everyone is impoverished except for the elite.
Converting “Mamdani” to a verb is a very good idea.
They must have enemies to blame for all their problems - the Jews, the US, the capitalists. It’s much easier than trying to address and fix such problems.

The problems are inherent in communism/socialism. They cannot be fixed.





all true :-(
True.
“Dems plan to Mamdani several more cities.”
A battle could be an all out Mamdanibrook.
Just like Rupar.
