“In other words, despite Mamdani’s claims that this time his own version of socialism will be different, it appears to be heading down the same familiar path, one that students of history expected upon Mamdani's victory.”

The idea is to first impose outrageous rent control, and when the cost of making repairs exceeds income from rents, Mamdani's crowd steps in with fines and lawsuits, eventually leading to Mamdani's crowd taking over such properties.

Today's Democrat Party Leadership is infested with Authoritarian Revolutionaries, the same kind that took over Cuba, stole people’s property, and now rule over the people with an iron fist and barrel of a gun!

"New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is off to a glorious communist start. His new “Tenant Czar,” Cea Weaver, has just declared that they will systematically dismantle private property rights in favor of a Soviet-style collectivism in order to stomp out “white supremacy.”

"Weaver, a high-ranking operative within the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), was hand-picked by Mayor Zohran Mamdani to lead the city’s housing policy. Her appointment follows Mamdani’s chilling inaugural pledge to “replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism” — a phrase that sounds more like a translation from a 1917 Bolshevik pamphlet than a speech by an American mayor."


I never thought I would live to see the day when NYC voters would actually vote to usher in unadulterated communism.

How can they dismantle Private Property Rights?

Such things are clearly stated in our Constitution, the Law of the Land ...

And, at the beginning, in the Bill of Rights.

Additionally, small rental property owners represented by the Institute for Justice are pressing an ongoing lawsuit against the city's vacancy rent caps. This lawsuit targets the core of Mamdani's signature campaign promise to maintain a strict rent freeze across rent-stabilized units.
