It looks like the next wave of Democrat politicians, the ones that will displace Chuck Schumer, Joe Biden and even Kamala Harris are much more openly radical.\u00a0 The more mainstream edge of this new wave are people like Alexandria Ocasio Cortez.\u00a0 They are communists but they are too stupid to actually figure out a strategy to put their absurd theories into practice.<\/p>\n
The new wave is like Zohran Mamdani.\u00a0 They unapologetically want to set up soviet style demand economies by expropriating money and property and giving it to the people who don\u2019t work but will vote for him.\u00a0 This is a major change.\u00a0 And there are more of these people out there.\u00a0 Omar Fateh is the Minneapolis version of Mamdani.\u00a0 He\u2019s challenging the already incredibly left-wing mayor Jacob Frey.\u00a0 Both of these men plan to turn large cities (well Minneapolis is large, New York is gargantuan) into socialist experiments complete with real property seizure and redistribution, municipal grocery stores (that we assume would allow you to pay according to your means and take according to your needs) and mental health agents replacing police to move away from that whole crime and jail thing.<\/p>\n
You have to ask yourself, \u201cHow can any of this possibly go wrong?\u201d\u00a0 Alright, stop laughing.<\/p>\n
I think the timing of this is almost perfect.\u00a0 It\u2019ll be about a year after Mamdani\u2019s election that the Congressional midterms will occur.\u00a0 I\u2019m guessing a year should be enough for total chaos to envelope Gotham City.\u00a0 I won\u2019t guess at how Minneapolis will fare.\u00a0 It\u2019s a very odd place and I don\u2019t think the mayor is actually in charge the way he is in New York.\u00a0 But New York\u2019s fate should be enough to clue in the rest of the country about how well the Stalinists are able to handle large scale American government.<\/p>\n
What I\u2019m guessing is that the break down in law and order will be instructive.\u00a0 I assume Trump won\u2019t make anything easy for Mamdani.\u00a0 He\u2019s already threatening to cut off social funding for things like Medicaid and Medicare where he can show that illegal aliens are receiving benefits from the local and state governments.\u00a0 Letting Mamdani\u2019s administration sink under the weight of its own excess welfare benefits would prove the point that quixotic socialist boondoggles are a recipe for disaster in a megalopolis like New York with an enormous poor population that can\u2019t be fed through taxing the rich and middle class.<\/p>\n
Now maybe I\u2019ll be proven wrong.\u00a0 Maybe Mamdani is the future.\u00a0 Possibly all along we\u2019ve missed out on how giving away free stuff to anyone who doesn\u2019t want to work is really the optimal strategy for running a society.\u00a0 And in addition, getting rid of the police and the courts and the prisons will seamlessly transition us from a human society with crime suppressed by these listed means, into a utopia where everyone is good and just and crime doesn\u2019t exist.\u00a0 Well, I\u2019m willing to take a bet on it.\u00a0 If Mamdani is elected and doesn\u2019t back out of his current positions I\u2019d bet a hundred bucks that things will explode into chaos in less than a year.\u00a0 And by chaos, I mean the Democratic party in New York will be screaming to impeach Mamdani and crime will become completely unmanageable.\u00a0 Only time will tell but I\u2019m feeling confident.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
