The Zohran Mamdani Experiment

There is not a day that goes by when, I look around, listen to the news, read the newspaper, and, if you pay close attention, most if not all headline news, have to do with conflicts that have to do with democrats’ anti-establishment, anti U.S., anti-Israel, and most of all anti-Trump issues, i.e. take the riots New Jersey clashes over the Delaney Hall Immigration detention center in Newark, where tensions have escalated À la George Floyd, 2020 riots in Minnesota. Pay attention, and every day, your headline news will have the most prominent democrats in the nation, inciting violence, inciting revolution, inciting dissidence – all of which, independently and combined, have resulted in the assassinations of conservative leaders such as Charlie Kirk and three attempts against president Trump’s life.

It is fair to say, that Barack Obama’s infamous pledge to “fundamentally transform the United States of America,” made in a public speech in October 2008 just days before his presidential election, has, in fact, come to fruition. Like the adage goes: “the cat is out of the bag.” Whereas for years, communists and communism were masked, camouflaged, cloaked, for fear on how Americans, how [the] most capitalist system in the world would accept what could be construed as, by far, [the] most radical ideological change in the history of the world.

Back in the years before Barack Obama came to the political limelight, the thought of a communist U.S., the thought of a communist political Party, were, sort of unheard-of, unprecedented, all but far-fetched, highly unlikely if not all impossible – not in the “land of the free and the home of the brave.” Not in the birthplace of the American dream; not in the land of “rags to riches,” no. Would never happen, right? No, wrong. Very wrong as a matter of fact.

From the inception of Barack Obama as president of the United States back in 2008, to now, say in the past twenty years, this nation was indeed transformed like we never thought possible. One of the political Parties, the Democrat Party, might as well rename itself to the Communist Party. If you think about it, there was a large grassroots movement to make Obama’s commitment a reality. Everything in America was changed, the justifiable racial revolution that started during the Civil Rights Era under Martin Luther King, swiftly turned into a class / racial conflict that embraces Karl Marx’s, Communist Manifesto ideals, embodying the author’s conception of history, as “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles”.

The communists, the vanguard of the working class, said Marx, constituted the section of society that would accomplish the “abolition of private property” and rise of the “proletariat to the position of ruling class.” Let us not forget please that Karl Marx thought that the United States’ capitalism was the prototypical bourgeois country, he believed that Socialism would eventually destroy capitalism as the latter was digging its own grave by exploiting workers, hence that the United States was primed for a revolutionary transition while hypothesizing that socialism would come to America via the ballot box, prophecies all of which have turned to sad realities in our nation.

In my humble opinion, notwithstanding the Donald Trump’s presidency and how the later has served as a temporary deterrent to the Democrat’s Communist Revolution, there is no doubt in my mind that there will come a time in the future, when this nation will, in fact, turn into a full-blown Socialist / Communist nation.

While I could cite a long and detailed list of issues all speaking to the ongoing transformation, regretfully, with or without Donald Trump, the “proletariat” revolution is well on its well on its way. Ironically, backed and subsidized by “dark money” by some of the wealthiest capitalists, i.e., Geore Soros, Mark Zukerberg, Michael Bloomberg, Bill Gates and other megadonors.

If you have any doubts whatsoever about what I am talking about, I think [the] absolute best test-tube example of what is taking place in the open on this nation, [the] most representative telltale sample of everything that I am talking about, you need go no further than Zohran Mamdani in New York. Perfect illustration and quite a lot to learn about where we are headed as a nation.

So, here is a quintessential professed Communist, and, as Barack Obama, elected, like Karl Marx predicted, at the ballot box. Think about it, this guy is “out-of-the-closet.” Matter of fact, I give him credit, he does not apologize for being who he is, like it or not. If you think about, he ran his campaign on a full Marxist / Communist platform, of “taketh from the wealthy and giveth to the poor.” Free this, free that, free the other. Freeze rents. Do away with landlords, community-owned grocery stores. On and on.

We keep hearing critics on Fox News and other conservative outlets express disbelief at what Mamdani is doing in New York, but I find that reaction somewhat hard to understand. Why the surprise? Hey, Mamdani campaigned openly on the very policies he is now putting into practice. What I find difficult to understand is how anyone can now question his policies after he was freely and democratically elected. The same, in my view, applies to Democratic officeholders across the country.

In other words, please spare me. Any time and every time I hear criticism on this Mamdani and all other outspoken communist democrats, whether it be Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Gavin Newsom, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johson, Chicago Governor JB Pritzker, I feel like screaming, hey, have we forgotten that “we-the-people” were the ones that elected them. Shame on us, not them. All these communists did not get to the post they hold by overthrowing their conservative opponents but were, instead, democratically sanctioned by a majority of the voting universe in whichever area of the United States.

Anyways, why do I think the Mamdani experiment is so consequential? Well, think about it. Of all places, the fact that it is New York, should be a major telltale sign of what is ahead. For all I know, I think New York, has been forever looked upon as the epicenter of capitalism, the home of Wall Street and the financial capital of the world, and the fact that the communists chose New York as their first test-tube cities for their Communist conquest experiment is, indeed, very telling on what lies ahead.

Last time I checked, Zohran Mamdani received 1.036 million votes in the 2025 New York City mayoral election. I repeat, 1.036 million people voted for Communist mayor. In other words, out of two million votes citywide, highest in a mayoral race since 1969, 50.4% of the voters wanted communism. Do not discard this statistic please.

A couple of remarkably interesting facts. First, New York has 3.9 million registered voters, which means that 1.9 million did not care enough to go out and vote, being the principal reason, this man was elected. The second interesting fact, with all due respect to all my Jewish friends, New York Jews are a disgrace to their faith and to their cause. I will put it to you this way, voters with distinct Jewish surname represent approximately 14% of NYC’s total registered voters. In other words, there are about 576,000 Jewish voters in NYC. I think, based exclusively on Mamdani’s express anti-Israeli stance; on his open antisemitic position, I do not think that anyone that calls himself or herself Jewish should have voted for this and/or should have staying home and not voted.

In other words, the point I am making is that the Jewish vote alone could have been enough to prevent his election, but that did not happen. Mamdani’s response to Jewish voters, in my view, became evident today when he declined to attend their annual parade in New York. In any case, the broader point is simple: communism, as I see it, remains alive and well within the Democratic Party in the United States, despite Donald Trump and his conservative, capitalist message. To be clear, the Mamdani experiment is not an isolated or unique event.

What scares the hell out of me is how the Mamdani, Communist experiment becomes a model with many others to follow, barring some sort of Civil War. The only thing that I would like for you to take out of this narrative is to just please bear in mind, remember, that all democrats in this country, that all communists in this nation, that all Mamdani’s are not self-elected, they are voted into posts by majorities in their particular areas, hence, we have nobody to blame but ourselves. Nobody to blame for all the “Useful Idiots”, in a voting universe composed mostly of the failed, the envious, the less-adept – a coalition of resentful pundits unable to fetch success through their own recourse resulting in a wishful-thinking illusion that Big Government is the ultimate “redeemer” of mankind. To all these voters I urge to ask any Cuban American in Miami about Castro’s redemption over the past sixty-seven years. May God save us and may God save the United States of America.
