The Morning Rant: What Don't You Understand About Socialists?
The idea that Socialism is just another political philosophy is embedded in a certain segment of our country. You know...the morons. "Sure! Let's try it out! Maybe it will work!" These are the ignorant among us who never learned a damned thing about the evils of socialism, because their teachers were crypto-socialists...or as is increasingly common...out-and-proud!
That speaks to two issues. The first is the complete takeover of the educational apparatus by the progressive movement. And the second is the pathetic state of the intellects who are drawn to teaching. Anyone know a serious and intelligent teacher? Sure...they exist. But there aren't many of them.
The reality is that socialism is not a political philosophy that seeks to manage the functions of government. It is a political philosophy that seeks to seize the reins of power and manipulate society to its own ends. The smooth functioning of government operations is nowhere to be found. Rather, those operations are co-opted into the process of converting everything into a vehicle for furthering the aims of socialism.
That the editorial board of the New York Post doesn't understand this basic premise is terrifying indeed! Notice that "socialism" or "DSA" isn't mentioned once in this editorial.
Mayor Klutz — what’s behind Mamdani’s long string of fumbles, failures and fiascos
The mayor has reportedly turned thin-skinned and shouty behind closed doors, and it’s easy to see why: He’s in over his head, with a staff dominated by fellow tunnel-visioned lefties.
Too bad it’s the rest of us who pay the worst price for Mayor Klutz’s misrule.
So the real issue is that Mamdani is an idiot and an incompetent?
No...it isn't. Mamdani doesn't give a rat's ass whether NYC runs efficiently. His only goal is the consolidation of government resources in furtherance of his personal goals: the ascendance of socialism, and the ascendance of Islamism. That the wider culture might see him as a buffoon is meaningless. He is busily taking control of the money, and directing it to his supporters within the city government and outside of government in the thousands of NGOs that orbit NYC's vast amounts of cash. They are the ones who will promote his policies among the various racial and ethnic divisions in NYC.
New York City voted for him. Or more correctly; New York City didn't bother to vote, and got a socialist, terror-supporting Shia 12er as Mayor. And Mamdani's only goal is to continue the policies that will get him reelected, and consolidate Islam and socialism in NYC. That the NY Post doesn't understand this is an embarrassment.
