During one of his 2023 broadcasts, Joe Rogan declared “Canada is communist,” and recently, author Kim Thuy claimed Canada is “more communist than Vietnam” while Olympian-turned-pundit Theo Fleury stated, “the Communist takeover of Canada is complete.”
Some Canadians might be alarmed and wonder how people could say such things, but could there be some truth to these remarks?

Recently Utah Senator John Curtis in the Wall Street Journal wrote about a survey he conducted after the murder of Charlie Kirk: “Among the hundreds of messages that poured in, an alarming cohort spoke to the vicious cycle of online hatred they see and the isolation they feel on social media.”
These sermons of hate are delivered not by a preacher in a pulpit from which he addresses a congregation seated in pews, a community of other human beings sharing their spiritual humanity and beliefs; but by online apps and algorithms that spellbind isolated strangers with wounded souls who face inhuman screens throbbing with extremism and hate.
Major American cities have been failing to make things better for residents after decades of Democratic rule. Rather than trying to vote for something different, those cities keep trying to elect even more left-wing Democrats. Now, they have turned to the failed ideology of socialism.
Katie Wilson, a self-described socialist, defeated incumbent Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell earlier this week. Wilson, like new New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, ran on affordability while supporting policies such as rent control, which creates housing shortages and thus increases housing costs. Like Mamdani, Wilson wants more taxes.
Two events have been referred to as a ‘day of celebration’ by Western leftists in recent years. There’s Zohran Mamdani’s storming to power in New York City, which radicals across the Anglo-American world hailed as a stirring victory for millennial socialism. The other? The mass murder of socialists on a kibbutz in Israel.
The victory of Zohran Mamdani in New York’s mayoral election was based on hardcore identity politics and undergraduate socialism. The hipster revolutionaries have officially progressed from the college campus to the corridors of power. But do they have any idea what they’re talking about?
The attraction – and darkness – of stirring up envy and resentment.
On November 4th, barring an improbable upset, self-professed socialist and jihad enabler Zohran Mamdani will become New York City’s next mayor. That outcome is a sure bet given the Democrats’ permanent nasty pique over Donald Trump’s victory, especially in deep blue New York, and the Dem’s young left-wing being fed up with the party’s elderly establishment.
The far-left group, Refuse Fascism, is organizing an “unrelenting” mass demonstration in Washington D.C. with the hope that their efforts will lead to the removal of President Trump from office.
Starting on November 5, the one-year anniversary of Trump’s election, they plan to besiege the White House, the Capitol, and what they call “the illegitimate fascist-packed Supreme Court” until the U.S. government is toppled.

How much farther left will the Democrats go? They’re increasingly aligning themselves with ideologies historically associated with violence and oppression: Islam and socialism or communism. Their incorporation of Marxist thought and accommodation of the influences of radical Islam threaten the American values of individual liberty, free enterprise, and national security.
Communist leaders slaughtered over 100 million people in the 20th century through regimes like the Soviet Union, Maoist China, and North Vietnam. When Democrats advocate for socialism, wealth redistribution, and expanded government control, they echo the ideologies of those regimes. Figures like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez openly identify as “democratic socialists,” promoting policies such as Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, and student debt forgiveness. Conservatives view these as steps toward a command economy, eroding capitalism. The Democrat (they’re not democratic) party’s 2020 platform emphasized “economic justice” and taxing the wealthy, which conservatives liken to Marxist class warfare.
They deserve each other… Socialists and Islam
‘President Gavin Newsom met today in Carmel, California with the representatives of the “Ten” – a consortium of giant tech and finance firms who control most of America’s business assets. Facing a challenge from front-running New York senator Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who is pushing for a radical redistribution of wealth and property, Newsom has struck a deal with the oligarchs. He has imposed a universal basic income to head off a mounting populist revolt…
Well before Lehman Brothers collapsed and capitalism quaked, Gabe Tobias had an arresting view of what would become the global financial crisis.
It was in Santa Ana, Calif., where Tobias was working as a community organizer after finishing college in 2006. He was meant to be advising low-income families on healthcare.
Soon, though, his work changed.
A youth chapter of SPD proposes that ‘male’ podcasts only be allowed to continue if a female fact-checker is involved.
The Kiel branch of the Young Socialists (Jusos) is demanding a ban on men’s podcasts, Apollo News reports. Jusos is arguing that the format spreads ‘toxic masculinity’ stereotypes and conspiracy theories, and pose a threat to democratic values. Their motion, set to be debated at the SPD youth organization’s state delegate conference at the end of September, is titled: “Ban men’s podcasts! – Take the microphones away from men!”
Not only is the concept of socialism flawed due to natural law that demands the survival of the fittest in order to guarantee the future of life, it confers a contradictory elite status on those chosen to decide what is best for the millions.
This school of thought claims to be all about “equality” but is blind to the reality that when you force “equality” on another it frequently reduces society’s ability to do what all life demands — to continually improve the species, making it stronger and more resilient.

The socialist’s base is composed of young, college-educated adults—not the poor.
New York City is well known for its expansive public sector. New York State is first nationally in state and local taxes per capita and as a percent of personal income, and second in terms of state and local spending per capita. While those statistics aren’t available at the municipal level, state spending is certainly getting funneled to Gotham. Forty-seven percent of New York City residents are enrolled in Medicaid, for example, compared with 35 percent statewide. Consider, also, the city’s multibillion-dollar affordable housing effort and its unique commitment to sheltering the homeless. Austerity, this is not.
These people are insane – but serious and committed.
Earlier this week the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) uploaded to YouTube the video of a panel discussion from its annual Socialism Conference, held in Chicago over Independence Day weekend. For those who hear the term democratic socialism and picture happy Scandinavians living their best lives instead of being chewed up in a capitalist rat race, it’s worth noting that the discussion featured open calls for the abolition of the nuclear family in the United States.
Rikki Schlott at the New York Post reported yesterday on the results of a new poll from the Cato Institute and YouGov which revealed that 62% of Gen Z kids (ages 18–29) held a “favorable view” of socialism” while 34% held a “favorable view” of communism.
Can these young Americans define or recognize either of these systems by the actual (rotten) fruits of their harvests? I guarantee that’s a big fat no, but it doesn’t matter, because they’re voting for it anyway.
