China's system is exactly what Zohran Mamdani has in mind for the people of NYC

[johnwk]

.
Remember Tim Walz celebrated Chinese communism where “. . . everyone is the same and everyone shares." “The doctor and the construction worker make the same. The Chinese government and the place they work for provide housing and 14 kg or about 30 pounds of rice per month. They get food and housing."


Walz stated the above to his students during a lesson on China’s communist system in November 1991. LINK


To the contrary, here in the United States, our system is designed to protect the inalienable right of our citizens to pursue their own happiness, and for each to succeed or fail by their own doing and choices. The magic of the great wealth produced under America’s system, as opposed to that of China and other socialist/communist systems, is found upon a self-evident principle which rewards the industrious, protecting and allowing each to enjoy the fruits of their own labor. While under China’s communism, and other such oppressive systems, the ambitious are stifled where “. . . everyone is the same and everyone shares", except for China’s rules who live large off the backs of those who are governed.


And that appears to be the attraction to communism by its promoters like Walz and Mamdani who embrace a China type system where government controls almost every aspect of the people's lives while folks in control of government live large off the backs of those who produce wealth, while rulers distribute, with an iron fist, the wealth which labor has produced.


If Mamdani was concerned about the families in NYC that are barely making ends meet, he would advocate exempting them from paying NYC's tax on their earned wages. Instead, he wants to keep them financially dependent upon government for their subsistence, so he wont exempt them from a tax on the bread they have earned by the sweat of their labor. That is what all socialist/communists do . . . keep a voting block dependent on government by any means necessary.

Do the voters in NYC really understand what Mamdani is advocating?

No, they do not.
But they are largely under achievers who realize they will never rise to the top and so the only way up for them is a handout taken from others. Many others, like you say, will clamor for a government job which pays those who unquestionably support the Communist party with extra monthly biscuits., much as has happened in the USA.

They would prefer a substandard way of life in which they believe they need not produce to get what they need.
Or that's it's easier to live off the backs of others, than provide for themselves through their own hard work.
These people have only experienced a nation of great wealth and incredibly high standards of living, none of which they have earned.

Should they ever live under a Communist system, they will be horrified to learn that not carrying their own weight can be a death sentence.

The root of the problem can be found in HUMANITIES current state of our human condition(human nature). Humanity has a proven/traceable track record going clear back to the Akkadian empire of war, domination over others, greed, arrogance, sadism/brutality, power & control(god complex) narcissism etc. I stopped my in depth historical sociological studies @ the Akkadian era though I dabbled into the Sumerian era & before but due to highly unusual events being recorded on our planet earth back then, I wisely only refer back to the Akkadian empire era. I only brought up the pre-Akkadian empire era as recordings from back then also refer to wars etc., so it looks like human nature has ALWAYS been tainted.

This is where the statist left has a serious problem with their ideology/religion of communalism(power & control). The statist left believes the human condition(human nature) can be corrected through academics, but they have no dreaming idea what so ever what our human nature is made out of, let alone how to correct it. There's a BIG diff between being academically educated & attempting to correct an issue that not even a single human being alive today can explain how our human nature came into existence! The wars/aggression are recorded clear back to 2340 BC(Bronze Age) so it looks like humanity is pretty well imbedded with the current state of our human condition(human nature), but don't tell the VIOLENT statist lefties that one!

I doubt it very much. I doubt people understand the Chinese system to make such a comparison. All they want is "China, enemy, this guy" to make people who put little effort, or none, into finding things out, to associate him with "the enemy"

I just spent the last month touring China and it’s the most Capitalist country in the world… everyone was buying and selling every minute of every day.

 

[LeftofLeft]

Capitalism made New York City and this mindset of Zorhan is going to tear it down. High income earners are going to flee the city. Two things will happen: 1) Commuter and Tourist taxes will skyrocket. 2) When all of the income earners flee to New York State, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Florida, Zorhan will go after them for more taxes saying “they didn’t pay their fair share while living in NYC.”

Doing so will only expedite the exodus from New York City in fact the whole State.

Russia used to have government controlled grocery stores. They stocked virtually nothing and were a freaking joke. Is that what the crazy socialist envisions for NY? My guess is the vote for Mandani was more of a vote against the tired old policies of the corrupt Cuomo dynasty.

I probably would care except the republicans Chinese pinkos are banning restaurants from using Styrofoam here in Virginia in 2 days. Autocracy must be stopped!!!!

Zohran Mamdani invoked Martin Luther King and God, to defend his Godless plan

Let us recall that Zohran Mamdani invoked Martin Luther King and God, to support his call to tax “whiter neighborhoods".

Mamdani stated:

“Call democracy or call it democratic socialism, there must be a better distribution of wealth for all of God’s children in this country.”

Rope-a-dope charlatans and liars like Mamdani have no moral compass whatsoever, and they expose their evil objectives by refusing to make the distinction between CHARITABLE GIVING and coveting thy neighbor’s property to support the needy.

And... how is this like China? Where the rich often don't pay much tax?

The quote describing Chinese communism where "everyone is the same and everyone shares," with equal pay for doctors and construction workers, and government provision of housing and food (14 kg of rice per month) reflects a view of China's communist system in the early Mao era.
However, this description does not accurately reflect the current situation in China.
Here's why:

• Significant Income Inequality: Modern China, with its largely market-based economy, exhibits a high degree of income inequality. This is evidenced by a high Gini coefficient, a measure of income disparity, which despite a decline in the 2010s, remains high, indicating a wide gap between the rich and the poor. The richest segments of society earn significantly more than the poorest segments. The disparity is particularly stark between urban and rural areas.
• Government Focus on Income Growth: While income inequality exists, the absolute income of nearly all income groups has seen rapid increases. This means that even the poorest segments of the population have experienced significant improvements in their living standards.
• Social Welfare System: China has been working to build a more comprehensive social welfare system, especially since reforms initiated in 2009. This includes health insurance, poverty reduction programs, and social assistance for vulnerable groups. However, challenges remain, such as disparities in access and quality of care, particularly between urban and rural areas.
• Housing and Food: While the government provides housing subsidies and some food support, this is not a universal entitlement for everyone as it might have been perceived in the early days of communism. Access to housing and the level of subsidized services often depend on factors like employment status and location.

In conclusion, the portrayal of Chinese communism where "everyone is the same and everyone shares" and government provision of food and housing is not an accurate reflection of China today. China's economy is now a mixed one with significant market reforms, leading to both significant economic growth and increased income inequality. The government has been actively expanding social welfare programs, but challenges remain in addressing disparities and ensuring equitable access to resources.

LOL Please, don't burst the bubble of these "Conservative" dummies. Perhaps they should read real information on China. I do not like the idea of lifetime dictators, nor people that try to claim other people's lands. But the stupidity posted here concerning China is laughable. If Xi were not playing dictator China might already have surpassed us.

That is exactly the plan….. make US pay for Leftist failures.

The grocery stores available to the common people stocked virtually nothing. The ones restricted to the party faithful were stocked with imported food and goods.
