“In other words, despite Mamdani’s claims that this time his own version of socialism will be different, it appears to be heading down the same familiar path, one that students of history expected upon Mamdani's victory.”

The idea is to first impose outrageous rent control, and when the cost of making repairs exceeds income from rents, Mamdani's crowd steps in with fines and lawsuits, eventually leading to Mamdani's crowd taking over such properties.

Today's Democrat Party Leadership is infested with Authoritarian Revolutionaries, the same kind that took over Cuba, stole people’s property, and now rule over the people with an iron fist and barrel of a gun!

The Supreme court is going to be busy with this communist Nazi clown....

You could say kleptomaniacs took control of the party.

Who is going to stop him? The King of England met him.

There is no existing housing that doesn't need some kind of repair. Mamdani will seize private property for any reason he can find. This is Communism.

What a bunch of whiny victims, you all are!

And so easily punked, too! Yes, you’ve been had again!

Every government has condemnation powers, and can force sales. It’s even in the Constitution!

Mamdani's “Tenant Czar,” Cea Weaver, embraces Soviet-style collectivism

"New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is off to a glorious communist start. His new “Tenant Czar,” Cea Weaver, has just declared that they will systematically dismantle private property rights in favor of a Soviet-style collectivism in order to stomp out “white supremacy.”

"Weaver, a high-ranking operative within the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), was hand-picked by Mayor Zohran Mamdani to lead the city’s housing policy. Her appointment follows Mamdani’s chilling inaugural pledge to “replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism” — a phrase that sounds more like a translation from a 1917 Bolshevik pamphlet than a speech by an American mayor."

I never thought I would live to see the day when NYC voters would actually vote to usher in unadulterated communism.
