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.

Zohran Mamdani makes history as NYC’s next mayor: When he takes office and what comes next
Zohran Mamdani’s stunning rise to power has made history in New York City politics. The 34-year-old assemblyman from Queens will officially take office as mayor in 2026 following his upset victory over former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa.
Cult members like Earl just don't seem to understand how time works.
Castro said he was a socialist and wanted to seize the means of production just like Mandami who you also support.Yeah sure I was pro Castro.

He said he was a socialist. Isn't Mandami a socialist too?
Fidel Castro publicly embraced the term socialist in April and May of 1961, when he declared the Cuban Revolution to be a socialist revolution and Cuba a socialist state. He later clarified his ideological alignment further, declaring in a televised address on December 2, 1961, that he was a Marxist-Leninist and would remain one for the rest of his life.

Awesome, so we've confirmed you don't know what communism is.
No you don't, Asshole. You've got to do better than that.
Tell me, do you use Preparation H as a whole body lotion?
Another Marxist blowhard displaying their abysmal ignorance.

The key distinction is that democratic socialism integrates socialist economic goals with a commitment to a democratic political system and individual liberties, in contrast to the potential for authoritarianism in some forms of "socialism".
Democratic Socialism
Democratic socialism is a broad ideology that blends socialist goals with a democratic framework. Key characteristics include:
Governance: Democratic socialists believe in a participatory democracy with free and fair elections, civil rights, and individual freedoms. They explicitly reject the authoritarian models of the former Soviet Union or present-day regimes often associated with the term "socialism".
Economic System: They advocate for a mixed economy, where a combination of public and private ownership coexists. The goal is to transfer economic power from corporations to working people, potentially through mechanisms like worker self-management or the public ownership of key industries such as healthcare, education, and utilities.
Method of Change: Democratic socialists aim to achieve their objectives through gradual reforms within existing democratic systems, using the ballot box and mass organizing rather than violent revolution.
Examples in Practice: While no country is a pure democratic socialist state, many Nordic countries like Sweden and Denmark employ robust social democratic policies (often used interchangeably with democratic socialism in U.S. political discourse) which feature comprehensive welfare states, universal healthcare, and strong labor protections within a market economy framework.

We all have grok and grok won't save New York or dumbass libtard drones that can't think for themselves.
I would love to see anyone of you drones come up with even one small example of socialism being successful and any of the promises made by dirty corrupt politicians have ever come true, just one. I can show you hundreds of examples of socialism's failures topped off with tens of millions of dead people.
Wake up drones you're falling for the oldest trick in the book. You believed Obama when he said Obamacare would bring down the costs when really he was just implementing a scheme to make the largest insurance companies extremely wealthy. You bought it hook line and sinker and now they have the nerve to suggest that Republicans are responsible for the current healthcare cost crisis. You morons are so easy to fool, it would be funny if you weren't so dangerous to the rest of us.
Oh a denial...such a strong come back
Do better and suck harder Frankie. I'm glad you have a flat head so I can put my beer on it while you do your job.
