What communist movement are you talking about?
Communist, socialist, Marxist, call it what you like as the terms have
all kind of blended together from the classic definitions of each.
Look at NYC for example, but it's not alone in this respect.
Mamdani, a Muslim winning a mayoral election after 9-11?
The people who swore they would never forget have forgotten.
And recently far left self proclaimed socialists some by their previous statements and posts hate America, hate Jews, hate Israel and so forth
won elections where in some cases they unseated incumbents which is very
rare.
In NYC which currently has the largest Jewish population in the world
outside of Israel this is very dangerous considering the antisemitism
going on in NYC.
And this is happening all over the US as the leftist movement is spreading
like wildfire.
The reason I say this damages the democrats more than the republicans is
as follows.
The far left socialists have gotten smart and have a new tactic.
They realize that history shows that third parties fail to gain any traction with examples like libertarians, green party and so forth so they have abandoned that method to push their agenda.
Instead, what they are doing is taking over the traditional democrat party
like parasites and the goal is to turn it far left socialist.
The DSA is behind this and is being backed by some really big money.
This is the key to what is happening across the US.
And their platform is equally insidious. Basically it's free stuff for all, screw the rich and their power and instead giving the power back to the
people.
And the issues they promote like healthcare, education, taxes, rent, etc are most definitely major problems.
And they are not only attracting democrat, left leaning followers, they
are attracting some conservatives and independents as well.
Who doesn't want free stuff?
Low cost healthcare?
Reasonable rents?
Food pricing?
The list is endless and it all sounds like rainbows and ice cream.
I certainly would like at least some of the above.
Who wouldn't?
The problem is that the rubes fail to understand that nothing in life is
free. Someone, somewhere, somehow has to pay for all of this free stuff.
Additionally, what are these rubes giving up?
Freedom is a big one.
Ask any person who has lived in a country run by socialism what they think
and they will give you an earful of negatives.
And lastly, the traditional democrats were all over the Sunday talk
shows acting in panic mode because they know that it's going to
be very difficult to regain control of their party as this movement
spreads, and it will.
