Now That The Mask Has Dropped, Here is The Historical Context.

[Anomalism]

The city of New York has someone running for mayor (a democrat) who is all that she described.

What part of that isn't getting through.

Saying all of New York is Like him is wrong.

However, he has to have some support to have ccome this far

You’re proving my point. You just acknowledged that saying “all Democrats are communists” is wrong. One candidate’s ideology doesn’t redefine an entire party, the same way one libertarian anarchist winning a GOP primary wouldn’t make the Republican Party anarchist.

Support for an individual with far-left views in one city is not the same as a wholesale ideological takeover. That’s why serious political analysis looks at platform planks, voting records, and leadership agendas, not isolated outliers. If the argument can only be sustained by cherry picking extremes and pretending they’re the norm, it’s not describing reality. It’s describing a caricature.

 

[Anomalism]

1. Democrat officials have endorsed this openly Marxist candidate: Mamdani stands for abolishing private property, socialis/communism, anti-Semitism, and racism.

And a Dem Senator said this should be the direction of the party.



2. Asked in several threads if Democrat voters would refuse to vote for this party if this is its agenda, only one....ONE...said he would not vote for it.




3."The history of communism, especially the CCP, demonstrates how effectively stupidity can be exploited by evil. That's another of the great lessons of history. Evil exploits human stupidity. Marxism has inherent features within that led to its collapse in the Soviet Union, and will eventually do the same in China. But during its existence, Stalin utilized the stupidity (and greed) of the West and killed millions of... people in the process.

4. ...the Democratic Party, increasingly Marxist itself, has been doing pretty much the same thing within our borders--evil exploiting stupidity for its own self-aggrandizement and power. Intelligence is not determined by IQ, folks. I have met countless numbers of incredibly stupid people with very high IQs.

5. ...True intelligence begins here: The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge and wisdom. If you don't start there, then the farther away you get from it, the dumber you are going to be, regardless of how high your IQ is.

You’re making a leap from “a handful of Democrats have supported one far left candidate” to “the entire party is Marxist.” That’s not historical analysis; that’s guilt by association.

1.) Outlier ≠ party platform. Mamdani’s views are not in the official Democratic Party platform. A single senator saying “this should be the direction” doesn’t make it so, just as one Republican senator calling for a Christian theocracy wouldn’t make the GOP a theocratic party.

2.) Anecdote ≠ data. “Only one person said they wouldn’t vote for it” is not polling data. It’s an unverified claim from a cherry picked sample in your own threads. That’s self-selected bias, not evidence.

3.) Historical parallels require equivalence. Equating the Democratic Party to Stalin’s USSR or the CCP requires actual structural and ideological matches, things like one party rule, suppression of dissent, state control of all production. Without these examples, the comparison is rhetoric, not analysis.

4.) Religious litmus tests are not constitutional tests. Quoting scripture as the basis for intelligence or patriotism isn’t historical context, it’s sectarianism. America was founded on freedom of religion, which includes the right to disagree with your theology.

5.) Category error in political labeling. Marxism is an economic system calling for abolition of private ownership of production. The Democratic Party operates in, funds, and regulates a capitalist economy. You can’t call a system Marxist while it is still driven by private capital, corporate lobbying, and market-based allocation. That’s a definitional contradiction.

6.) Cherry-picking candidates is a universal trick. If we judged the GOP by its most extreme candidates, right wingers would see that as dishonest framing. The same standard applies here.

7.) The ‘mask drop’ framing assumes your conclusion. Saying “the mask has dropped” is a rhetorical shortcut that pretends your political opponents were always hiding a secret plan. It’s a persuasion tactic. It invites the audience to imagine a hidden conspiracy, rather than to weigh current facts.

If your case depends on turning exceptions into the rule, anecdotes into statistics, and rhetoric into “history,” then it’s not history. It’s narrative engineering.

Do you ever get tired of building up your strawmen? Mamdani is a proclaimed Socialist, not a Marxist. I need you quote him saying his is for abolishing private property. I needed it on a policy statement, part of a platform., hell, just a quote from a speech. That would be Marxist. The rest of that screed is just total bullshit. Support for the Palestinian cause, condemning some of Israel's actions, those are not anti-Semitic. Mamdani has promised to fight "real" antisemitism and greatly expand hate crime investigations and enforcement. Nor has he demonstrated any racism. If anything, vowing to fight the increasing unaffordability of New York City, and specifically, for immigrants, would seem to be the antithesis of racism. It is, after all, the diversity of New York City that has made it great.

Well that is because most people no you for the fool you are. I doubt a single Democrat would vote for your strawmen, abolishing private property, controlling all aspects of our lives, and no, mandatory lockdowns during Covid is not "controlling our lives with a communist intent, it is called public health. You ever hear of quarantines?

And here we go, constructing your strawman, now you play hero and beat this non-existent strawman up. China is not communist. Sure, they are headed up by a Communist government but market forces are a significant factor within their economy, just like they are in Russia and were in the former Soviet Union.

Again, stupid has a meaning. It is basically ignorance without the willingness to learn or improve. Want to see what it looks like, look in a mirror.

Ah yes, the fake Madison quote. Source it, please. From Madison's writings or words. I bet you believe it is true, LOL.

Poor Mr. Smith. Too bad you caved.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Is this in reference to me? If so I want to reiterate I have literally never voted for a democrat in my life, nor do I consider myself one. My thread history pretty well demonstrates my claims I think.

I believe a lot of Democrats would move away from the party if it openly embraced literal abolition of private property. I think the Democrats here are too charged up and hostile to give you enough grace to entertain your question honestly though.

They don't want to approach openly and honestly, possibly because they don't believe you will return the favor. I don't know.

American democrats might move away from the party which is why democrats increasingly reject Americans in favor of non Americans. Mostly, hostile Muslims like Mamdani.

While he claims to be a socialist, he pushes Marxist ideas. As far as your never seeing him advocate abolishment of private property the following is a quote from an interview he gave:

"And I think faced with these two options, the system has hundreds of thousands of people unhoused, right? For what? And if there was any system that could guarantee each person housing, whether you call it the abolition of property or a statewide housing guarantee, it is preferable to what is going on right now," he explained.

Well that was an unfortunate choice of words, perhaps he should have suggested using Eminent Domain in order to attain parcels to construct affordable housing, not that it hasn't happened before, like Pacific Park, Brooklyn. And Kelo vs. New London, a SCOTUS ruling makes it legal. Were you guys screaming Communism then?

She beats your ass evertime.

Only to those that are delusional. She fabricates shit, distorts stuff, totally misappropriated history, and really, hasn't ever had an original thought in her life. It is mostly cut and paste and often times she fails to attribute the source, usually they call that plagiarism. No concept of logic, her writing is like she is on acid or something.

Show a little humility. I know PoliticalChic does not rub your nose in it. Even though it is apparent to the rest of us.

New York City socialist Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani is being ripped for advocating “the abolition of private property” — as a video resurfaced of him touting the radical position this week.

“If there was any system that could guarantee each person housing — whether you call it the abolition of private property or you call it a statewide housing guarantee — it is preferable to what is going on right now,” Mamdani said in the video shared by RNC Research.

Again, Eminent Domain, it has been used in New York City before, in Brooklyn. You guys have no problem using it to build Trump's Big Beautiful Wall, seizing private property is not a problem in that case, why would it be a problem to help with affordable housing. I mean I will stick with North Carolina, I am sure New York is much the same.

§ 157‑50. Eminent domain for housing projects.Any corporation which is an agency of the United States of America shall have the right to acquire by eminent domain any real property, including improvements and fixtures thereon,which it may deem necessary for a housing project being constructed, operated or aided by it or the United States of America. Any corporation borrowing money or receiving other financial assistance from the United States of America or any agency thereof for the purpose of financing the construction or operation of any housing project or projects, the operation of which will be subject to public supervision or regulation, shall have the right to acquire by eminent domain any real property, including fixtures and improvements thereon, which it may deem necessary for such project. A housing project shall be deemed to be subject to public supervision or regulation within the meaning of this Article if the rents to be charged by it are in any way subject to the supervision, regulation or approval of the United States of America,the State or any of their subdivisions or agencies, or by a housing authority, city, municipality or county, whether such right to supervise, regulate or approve be by virtue of any law, statute,contract or otherwise.Any such corporate agency of the United States of America or any such corporation, upon the adoption of a resolution declaring that the acquisition of the property described therein is in the public interest and necessary for public use, may exercise the power of eminent domain pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 40A. (1935, c. 409, s. 3; 1981, c. 919, s. 26.)

Uh no, it's called a blatant violation of Constitutional Rights.

Get it right.

Uh, the use of Eminent Domain to facilitate public housing projects or affordable housing projects IS constitutional. Again, I point you to Kelo v. New London.

Dunning-Kruger effect on steroids.

The first apartment I ever had, oh it was a dump. But I had this huge ass cat. His name was Butch. There was a chair in the front window, he would hang over the back of it and look out the window. Almost every day a neighbor would come by walking her Chihuahua, Butch would jump off the chair and run to the door. I would let him out.

The dog would immediately come after him, yapping away. Butch would raise his front paw, track the dog's movements for a bit and then, bam, pin the dogs head to the ground, hold it for a second, and then the dog back up. Rinse and repeat. PC is the damn Chihuahua.

[HikerGuy83]

You’re proving my point.

I know.....but not the extent you think.

You just acknowledged that saying “all Democrats are communists” is wrong.

I did. At the same time, I would say that not all communists are really communists. Which begs the question....just how many have to be before you need to be worried. I think this where her thinking (which is generally very good) is going. We have not seen something like this for a very long time. And you have a cadre of people who are not currently this extreme but could get there very fast around the area.

One candidate’s ideology doesn’t redefine an entire party,

There is no universal ideology in either party (but I think that it more generally accepted that conservatives have the broadest spectrum). So, that will never happen. Now, if you look at Trump, the left goes insane and accuses anyone who won't renounce him of being MAGAts, cultists...whatever. Despite the fact that it simply not the case. It is more for political expediency. To my earlier point though....Trump is new and the directionally this is scary to many. Same with the moron from New York City.

Support for an individual with far-left views in one city is not the same as a wholesale ideological takeover.

Again, it's the machinery that is important. You takeover when you get into power. If this guy gets elected, it's no different than Trump getting elected. There are no mandates....there is just power.

That’s why serious political analysis looks at platform planks, voting records, and leadership agendas, not isolated outliers.

Sure, if you want to write a book.

And the term "isolated outlier" is suspect in this case. Harris was accused of the same thing (obviously at the level of hyperbolic extreme.....but not without justification).

If the argument can only be sustained by cherry picking extremes and pretending they’re the norm, it’s not describing reality. It’s describing a caricature.

In this case, I think it is describing a concerning momentum. There is a much broader argument to be made but as I said......a book.

You can't look at Tim Walz and not think many of the same things she is saying about the New York assclown. My experience with PoliticalChic is that she's ususally pretty good with her assertions. If she reached to far in this one, I think a reasoned response is in order.

Running for Mayor, no less....Has an IQ in the neighborhood of about 80.

Why, because he was born in Africa? I mean how can you come to that conclusion? What the **** you think Trump's IQ is?
