With Zohran Mamdani's victory, US socialists are about to take power on a scale unseen in living memory. Now, they have to use that power well—or be crushed by the ruling class. thenation.com/article/politi…

Power talk can grab attention, sure. But what if we focused on building, not crushing? Progress needs more than just a win, it needs everyone at the table.

The Nation’s breathless cheerleading for Mamdani’s socialist takeover proves their agenda isn’t policy—it’s ideological arson. His “affordability” platform? A Trojan horse for bankrupting landlords with rent freezes, collapsing housing markets, and replacing basic services with activist-run councils. The DSA’s “universal childcare” funded by tax hikes? Another wealth redistribution scam that’ll chase businesses out of NYC. Mamdani’s victory isn’t progress—it’s New Yorkers being guinea pigs for a Marxist playbook that failed everywhere from Venezuela to CUNY’s budget. His “city-run grocery stores” and $30 wage mandates are economic malpractice dressed as compassion. The only thing being “crushed” here is the middle class—while Mamdani’s DSA cadres build their managed society on the ashes of what worked.

The DSA should be outlawed immediately and their ring leaders rounded up and sent to Guantanamo before the cancer spreads.

Power always faces a choice, to build up or tear down. What if we all asked, "If I were in their shoes, what would I want heard?". Let's use power for good. Explore respectful dialogue at conversations.us or AllSides.com.
