Communism

The pattern is clear: foreign born, Neo-Marxist academics come to America, work at major universities, teach Neo-Marxist ideas to their students, and their children, inheriting their parents’ ideologies, enter politics.

Pattern recognition — the brain’s ability to perceive similarities and relationships between objects, numbers, and events — is used in IQ tests as a way to help measure cognitive intelligence.

Here’s a pattern to consider.

Zohran Mamdani was sworn in as mayor of New York City on the steps of an old, abandoned City Hall subway station early on New Year’s Day.

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.

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.

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.
