Trump Labels NYC’s Mamdani A ‘100% Communist Lunatic’

[Rightguide]

It is the point on the end of your nose.

I figured you couldn't pinpoint it.

 

[Rebel5soul]

Show us the exact point along the political spectrum when a socialist turns into a Communist.

There is NO difference between the two.

Your relentless whining about Mamdani the past few days gives new meaning to the word "histrionics".

You FINALLY have a new bogeyman to be scared of, and you're thrilled to death.

Booga booga booga!

When you ask a stupid question, you get a stupid answer. The closest approximation of democratic socialism that works is Scandinavian Social Democracy. There is no similarity between that and what exists in North Korea. There is no point in pinpointing where one segues into the other.

The Scandinavians are capitalists. They gave up their experimentation with Socialism back in the '90's. They quickly realized it was the path to hell and got off the road before it was too late.

Debunking the myth.

The Scandinavians have a mixed economy with well financed domestic programs paid for by steeply progressive taxation. They have socialized medicine, free college for those who qualify, and generous pensions.

The pillars of the Nordic model​

We identify four key pillars of the Nordic model of economic organisation:

1. Substantial public investment in family policies, education, and health services, ensuring broad access to essential services.
2. Influential labour unions with coordinated wage-setting across and within industries.
3. High public expenditure on social insurance systems that protect individuals against income losses due to unemployment, disability, and illness.
4. High and progressive taxation of labour income, complemented by subsidies for services that support employment.

Well. this is a first: A John Engleman post where I agree with every single sentence he wrote.it

Granted, it was only two sentences but one has to start somewhere!

All paid for by the classes that make the most use of the services, the middle and lower class. What a novel idea, having those who use the system pay for the system.

Income inequality in Sweden​

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sweden enjoys a relatively low income inequality and a high standard of living. Unemployment as of 2017 was estimated to be 6.6% by the CIA World Fact Book,[1] lower than in other European Union countries. The Nordic model of a social welfare society exemplified by Sweden and its near neighbours has often been considered a European success story compared internationally with the socioeconomic structures of other developed industrial nations.[citation needed] This model of state provided social welfare includes many unemployment benefits for the poor, and amply funded health, housing and social security provision.[2] within essentially corruption free nations subscribing to principles of a measure of openness of information about government activity.[3] The Income inequality in Sweden ranks low in the Gini coefficient, being 25.2 as of 2015[4] which is one of the lowest in the world, and ranking similarly to the other Nordic countries; although inequality has recently been on the rise and several central European countries now have a lower Gini coefficient than Sweden.[5][6]

I actually kind of want him to win so he can destroy NYC. His socialist supermarkets will have a terrific effect:
* Black people will assume it is free and just steal. There will be no security, so no one will stop them.
* Bodega owners (almost every single one is either latino or Asian) will go out of business.
* Some corporate chains will stay (some) but they will have to up their prices to pay for added security since people will get used to just walking out with free stuff.
* Fewer cops means more violence against the liberals who voted for it.
* Less tourism since there will be more violence with fewer cops.
* Fewer rich people will mean less tax revenue and spending. That will cripple the economy.
* Trump will find ways to cut off funding like charging the city for every ICE raid that does not have NYPD cooperation and cuts to jails.
* Hostility to whites (even the liberals who voted for it) will push some people to emigrate, bringing down property values.
I am a thousand miles away but it will be fun to watch, I suppose. I used to love NYC. Oh well.

It’s obvious you are 1,000 miles away.

Much of this post is already happening. Rich people don’t live there anyway, they live in Connecticut, Westchester and the Gold Coast of Long Island. They do however work there. That hasn’t stopped and it won’t anytime soon.

If property values didn’t plummet with DiBlasio (they didn’t) they won’t with the commie. Property values in NYC are higher than ever with more new units being built every year.

It’s a four way race with two other Democrats and a Republican who won 35% of the vote last time. This guy ain’t winning anyway.

So why the need to destroy NYC? Westchester is where the power base is anyway.

I’m not afraid of him; he and I don’t exist in the same political reality. What concerns me is the growing threat of instability affecting good people in New York City. He plans to take advantage of and weaponize the influx of people unfamiliar with American civic values, all without adequate education or screening. This wasn’t accidental; it was the natural outcome of a political strategy that treats national identity as a problem rather than a foundation. If he is elected, NYC will follow Chicago, San Francisco, and Los Angeles as crumbling museums of what once was.

Sweden isn’t socialist. It has a capitalist economy with private ownership, free markets, and pro-business policies, including low corporate taxes and no inheritance tax. The government doesn’t own the means of production; it just taxes them. Sweden funds a generous welfare state with wealth created by capitalism, not socialism. If you think it’s a socialist paradise, you’ve confused high taxes with Marxist economics. The Swedes didn’t.

You can always be counted on to drag out your superstitions from that locked vault deep inside your mind, an archive of punished thoughts where every regret, haunting memory, and spectral doubt is chained up and silenced… until you decide to unleash them onto the rest of us.
