| Comrade Zohran Mamdani |
Oh, look, another wide-eyed communist running for mayor of New York City, swearing up and down he's not a communist, even as his greatest hits album screams otherwise. Zohran Mamdani, the DSA darling who's got the Big Apple dreaming of bread lines and state-run bodegas, keeps batting away the red-flag label like it's a killer bee. But let's be real: the guy's resume reads like a Karl Marx fanfic come to life.
"No, I’m a democratic socialist," Mamdani lied CNN earlier this week when asked if he's a communist, a label bestowed on him by many critics, including President Donald Trump."I’ve said that time and again."
Sure you have, Zohran. And I'm the Shah of Iran. Because nothing says "totally not Stalin 2.0" like casually dropping lines straight out of The Communist Manifesto at your socialist pep rallies. A Fox News Digital review dug through the archives and found Comrade Mamdani hawking communist classics like they're hot dogs at Nathan's Coney Island, including his not-so-subtle nod to seizing the "means of production."
"Right now, if we're talking about the cancellation of student debt, if we're talking about Medicare for all, you know, these are issues which have the groundswell of popular support across this country," Mamdani told a Democratic Socialists of America conference in 2021.
"But then there are also other issues that we firmly believe in, whether it's BDS or whether it is the end goal of seizing the means of production, where we do not have the same level of support at this very moment."
Ah yes, the old "seize the factories from those evil capitalists" routine, vintage 1848 Marx, baby.
As the late Lee Edwards, that sharp-eyed Heritage Foundation scholar, laid it out back in 2018: Marx was an "atheist socialist who insisted that his was the only 'scientific' socialism based not on wishful thinking but the inexorable laws of history."
"The whole of history, declared Marx and his close collaborator and friend Friedrich Engels, is the history of the class struggle between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie. The inevitable collapse of capitalism and the victory of the proletariat would end the conflict and usher in a classless society and pure socialism or communism (Marx used both terms interchangeably). He listed 10 necessary measures as steps along the way to his utopia, including a progressive income tax, the abolition of private property, free education for all, and centralization of the means of communication and transport in 'the hands of the state.'"
Mamdani's got that abolition-of-private-property kink in spades, too. Remember that viral clip from July, the one where he basically said screw your deed, the state's got dibs on your walk-up?
"If there was any system that could guarantee each person housing, whether you call it the abolition of private property or you call it, you know, just a statewide housing guarantee, it is preferable to what is going on right now."
And don't forget his tax-the-rich-till-they're-broke scheme, all while chirping that billionaires just shouldn't exist. Because nothing screams "freedom" like the government deciding who's too successful for their own good.

Don't you just love millionaire commies?
But hey, it's not just Mamdani solo; his squad's got that commie glow, too. Take Cea Weaver, the housing firebrand in his campaign's "brain trust." She has her fingerprints all over radical outfits like Housing Justice for All, which rolls deep with the Communist Party USA and the New York Young Communist League.
"Elect more Communists," Weaver posted on social media in 2017, New York Post reported. "Seize private property," Weaver posted in 2018.
Classy crew. When Fox News Digital cornered him in July about the commie vibes and whether he'd disavow any of it to snag Hakeem Jeffries' blessing, Mamdani? Crickets, as usual.
Heritage's Mike Gonzalez, who's seen more red ink than a Soviet accountant, didn't mince words: Mamdani is "absolutely a communist" who "repeats lines out of the 'Communist Manifesto' and other writings by Karl Marx."

[Have you noticed, it's always easy for these communist leaders to hawk communism after they've made the money via capitalism.]
"When Marxists today say they are socialists, they usually want to convey the impression that they believe in elections and not just in shooting your way into power," Gonzalez added. "Of course, that election often ends up being the last free and fair one. Witness Venezuela."
Spot on. And Mamdani's got the full menu: state-run buses, government grocery stores—the works. As Gonzalez quipped in his July takedown, "Mamdani Is the Mayor New York Democrats Deserve": "State stores are the bread and butter of communism, except they don't contain either bread or butter and are usually empty."
Echoes of Marx's big 1875 flex, "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs," right? Mamdani couldn't resist remixing it on X in 2020: "Each according to their need, each according to their ability."
Then there's his 2020 thirst tweet for a commie mayor: the city's next boss should be like "Comrade Arya Rajedran," that card-carrying communist running things in India.
And let's not forget his DSA sugar daddies, who the New York Post says are banking on Mamdani to shove their agenda down Gotham's throat—complete with their long love affair for every tinpot commie regime from Havana to Pyongyang.
New Yorkers, you wanted "progress"? This is your red dawn. Enjoy the gulag chic.

If you like Brain Flushings and want to Buy Me A Coffee, I would appreciate it, as it supports my work. Obviously, there is no pressure but I certainly wouldn't stop you.
