The nightmare descent of New York City under Mamdani rule has begun.

Your clownish post only tells me one thing... you excuse @Uncensored2008 for falsely accusing posters here of promoting Communism.

False?

How would you know? You don't know what Communism or Marxism is. You revel in your deep ignorance.

I've provided you knowledge - but you shun it as heresy against your party.

You lie and post childish taunts, but what you won't do is learn, or read history. You serve the party through your abiding ignorance.
 
Already told you.

So what is your response? This should be interesting.
Communism
  • Initial seizure: The working class, or proletariat, is theorized to seize the means of production and the state's institutions through revolution.
  • Transition: This leads to a "dictatorship of the proletariat," a socialist state designed to prevent a counter-revolution.
  • Final stage: The state eventually "withers away" as the threat of the old capitalist class disappears, and a classless, communist society with no private ownership emerges.

 
The nightmare descent of New York City under Mamdani rule has begun. Defunding the police, “free” services, and antisemitism are the tip of the spear. Staffing, policies, and mandates will issue from the mayor daily, implemented by an administration of hardcore socialists.

The outlook is far worse when measured in dollars and cents. Spending will soar from already unsustainable levels, even as the tax base exits. When the top 1% leave, along with major financial firms, they never return. The glory of New York will fade. The city will not even be able to sustainably pay its bills for basic services.

As they used to say in grade school, show your work.

It is typically claimed that New York contributes far more to the federal government than it receives in federal aid. The implication is that New York is impervious to federal cut-offs and holds the financial moral high ground.

Hogwash.

New York City pays nothing to the federal government. The so-called contribution, totaling an estimated $60 billion, excluding Social Security payments, is the individual income tax dollars paid directly by NYC residents to the U.S. Treasury. None of these payments has anything to do with the city budget. The federal government will receive these revenues regardless of where people reside.

What matters is the NYC budget and the source of revenues.

In 2025, NYC’s budget totaled $119.8 billion. The city starts the Mamdani-era madness with a forecasted annual deficit of $5 billion to $6 billion, with no answers how to fill this gap. Factor in the city’s dependence on $10.5 billion in direct payments from the federal government. President Trump says he will lower that number to the legal minimum. Mamdani insists that no cuts can be made, that these payments are inviolate. He is about to learn that U.S. taxpayers are not obligated to subsidize the schemes of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).

Even greater danger lurks. NYC stays afloat, financially speaking, only due to an additional $20.7 billion in annual direct aid from New York State. Why would this money be at risk, given the prospect of endless state Democrat rule? Because it is a shell game all the way down.

Nothing has changed in New York. It's been less than 2 weeks since he won.
 

Is Zohran Mamdani a Communist?​


No, Zohran Mamdani is not a communist. He explicitly identifies as a democratic socialist, emphasizing reforms within a democratic framework to address affordability issues like housing, childcare, and public transit. This includes policies such as free buses, rent freezes, universal childcare, and a higher minimum wage—aimed at expanding public services without abolishing private property or establishing one-party rule, which are hallmarks of communism.


  • Why the confusion? The label "communist" has been used as a political attack by figures like President Donald Trump, actor Jon Voight, and some Republican lawmakers (e.g., Reps. Andy Ogles and Buddy Carter). Trump repeatedly called him a "communist lunatic" during the 2025 mayoral race, threatening to cut federal funding to NYC and even pushing to investigate his U.S. citizenship (claiming DSA ties disqualify him). Critics equate his socialism with communism (e.g., citing a 2020 social media post echoing Marx's "from each according to ability, to each according to need"), but experts dismiss this as inaccurate red-baiting, reminiscent of McCarthy-era tactics.
