Electing Communists

I’m so old, I can remember when it would have been unthinkable to run for office as a Communist or a socialist. Were those the good old days, or what?

Exhibit A is Karen Bass, the Mayor of Los Angeles. I always took her for a total incompetent, but there is more going on than that:

I am going to keep repeating this until people understand this.

Karen Bass was not only a Castro operative and Communist, but she got elevated to Vice Chair of National Endowment for Democracy, which is the center of soft power operations in the US government. She is not a “DEI mayor.” She is extremely powerful at the global stage.

She was actively involved in shaping foreign policy with the Obama administration, especially Africa. Her Ghana visit during the LA wildfires wasn’t a vacation, it was part of a Biden delegate to greet Ghana’s new President.

She was considered HUD Secretary for the Biden administration. Instead, she nominated the person who would become the actual HHS Secretary – California Attorney General Xavier Becerra.

Now, let me ask you. If a literal Castro operative gets elevated to this stage, what does this imply about the rest of the United States government?

Then there is Zohran Mamdani, the Mayor of New York. Mamdani describes himself as a socialist rather than a Communist, but in the lexicon of the Left, the only difference is that a Democratic Socialist uses electoral politics to take power (at least initially) while a Communist perpetrates violent revolution to achieve the same end. Of course, as many have said: you can vote your way into socialism, but you have to shoot your way out.

"Electing Communists..."

That these marxists are running -- and WINNING -- if not as "declared" communists but certainly as obvious ones, tells us as much about the electorate that is voting for them, as it does about anything else.

These "candidates" ARE "the people's choice" where they're winning.

And THAT ought to tell us much about the future of the country as a whole, which most folks on the right are afraid to think about, letalone speak of outloud...

You can vote them in, once.  You have to shoot your way out.  Thems the rules.
