Zohran Mamdani announces his seizure of power over New York City in a formal ceremony promising to “replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.”
The “warmth of collectivism” or perhaps, more aptly, the furnaces of collectivism, especially of the kind of movements that Mamdani is aligned with, claimed over 100 million lives from Russia to China to Latin America.
‘Rugged individualism’… a whole lot less.
New York City, the actual one, not the collective of Mamdani’s fellow radical trust fund hipsters and Indian Muslims that selected him, was a city of rugged individuals. Individualism, sometimes bizarre and eccentric, was the hallmark of New York City. That’s why you have quotes like “New York has more hermits than will be found in all the forests, mountains and deserts of the United States”. It’s what made walking down the street in the city interesting. Collectives aren’t interesting, they’re ominous. They strip away individualism leaving zombies who think and talk the same way, and who will attack you if you differ from them any way.
That’s what Communism or Islam do. Whether it’s the ‘Homo Sovieticus’ or Mamdani’s fellow Muslim mobs murdering non-Muslims in Bangladesh, that’s collectivism. There’s a reason that the current most talked about show, Pluribus, is about the struggle between the collective and the individual.
Mamdani announced that his regime will be about imposing the collective to stamp out the individual. But that’s what the Left is.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
He’s already issued orders that can only embolden antisemitic thugs still on the prowl, who happen to be US citizens who can’t be sent packing back to Pakistan or Syria
Wellington says
Mamdani is a malicious fool and the best case scenario for America here is that his mayoralty proves to be an utter disaster so that America as a whole learns a profound lesson and acts upon that lesson by greatly diminishing the Democratic Party nationwide, which party is now the chief instrument being used in the attempt to destroy America.
Westman says
Let’s hope that will be the case, quickly, before NYC is unable to recover.
Otherwise it is the non-collectives who earn the money taken for the collectives until the non- collectives leave or give up and life becomes, “We pretend to work and they pretend to pay us”.
Koshs Shadow says
I believe the “warmth of collectivism” is a lot like the fires of Hell
John the Mad says
It is the warm blood spilled by millions of socialism’s victims over the past century.
somehistory says
Yes, warm, and even hot, blood spilled by the millions of gallons. All for a demonic, evil, serpent.
Koshs Shadow says
I have known people who lived under socialism.
They make Reagan look liberal.
They KNOW the evil of socialism
Keys says
Nothing like the collectivist warmth of Stalin and Mao – a hellish type of warmth.
OLD GUY says
You left off the warmth of Islam.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
In other words, the warmth of hellfire
Keys says
You are right Old Guy – and no doubt that the warmth of Islam has murdered millions more than the warmth of collectivism.
Tragic that both these maladies are still warming the world, and now have metastasized in to the West bolstered by the warmth of the USA’s Democrat party.

He came from a millionaire family and said Billionaires should not exist .He said he is “for the working man and woman” he never held a job or report to a boss or made a product or provided a meaningful service in anything in his over 33 year old life .Never paid a mortgage ,I bet he has never touched a screw driver or a wench ,or even a gardening tool ,or held a job stocking shield to pay for his college education. He is a grade B drama kid actor .He was reported absence from his elected job as an assembly man representing his area of Queens almost never visiting (the second worse voting record he was beat out of first place by a 85 yr old bed riddle man another democrat)the state capital Albany to vote or speak out against or for what was vote on missed most votes .He never presented any legislation bill or input or served on any committee. He is the smiling greasy salesman ,with a good line of BS. Now he is playing three sides the communist ,the jihadist ,the free stuff crowd .When the bill comes due and someone from one of these groups of mental unstable man childes does not get what they want because it is not possible to satisfy them his own base will turn on him .I am predicting a summer like 2020 with this soy boy hiding from the press ,from the public ,beggaring for the National Guard to restore “order”. Businesses will move ,real estate will burn like the Bronx of the 1970s-1984 ,jobs will be lost forever, because voters bought this BS hook line sinker.
Wellington says
He also can’t bench press even 135 pounds which for a man in his thirties is pathetic.
carpediadem says
He doesn’t need to . He just pressed his way into power.
Wellington says
Disagree. A healthy man in his thirties should be able to bench press a mere 135 pounds and if he can’t that bespeaks a lot about the man.
WPM says
His mother probably could ,a soy boy with no connection or idea how things work .Not just physically weak but mentally another born rich communist born with a silver spoon in his mouth who knows how to quote slogans .Image a man who only job real at over age 30 is his mother giving him roles in stupid short videos? Anyone ask him if he was brought to this country around age 8 or 9 why he waited till he was 28 to become a citizen? Was it was because he wanted to run for elected office?

Way too many Americans have forgotten or never learned the difference between East Germany (socialist/communist) and West Germany (freedom/capitalist). It was hard to tell East Germany in the 1970s from 1945. On the other hand West Germany had been rebuilt from the ruins of WWII. And then in 1989 the Berlin wall came down and Germany was reunited. Look where (united) Germany is heading now. The lesson must be, socialism/communism is a cancer that can invade and destroy freedom/capitalism if it allowed in.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Actually, East Germany of today is more capitalistic/conservative than West Germany. If you look at election results there, the Libertarian AfD won all its seats in East Germany: what prevented them from coming to power was that in West Germany, everybody voted for the others – CDU, CSU, SDP, FDP….
In fact, I daresay if the 2 Germanies were to re-split and hold separate elections, AfD would sweep East Germany, while West Germany would hang b/w the others. In short, it’s Western Europe that’s the socialist part of Europe, tending towards communism, while Eastern Europe – Poland, Czech, Slovakia, Hungary,… are more capitalistic
tgusa says
I agree Infidel but my point was about East Germany and West Germany before the fall of the Berlin wall and the collapse of the Soviet union.
tgusa says
” Eastern Europe – Poland, Czech, Slovakia, Hungary”
They are all countries that were under the boot of soviet socialist/communists for nearly 50 years after WWII. Things change in the world. That is inevitable. One day a former so-called adversary becomes a friend. The next day a former friend becomes an adversary. The USA must adapt to new norms. We should be part of the world but at the same time somewhat isolationist. That was our nature throughout several centuries from our beginning and it worked out pretty well.

Demon in NYC and one in CA too. eric swalwell threatens ICE agents

Yep.
And here’s the NY flea-brained governor…..(the article ref the attack, but says it was ‘radical extremists al queda’)
“Hochul orders NY landmarks, including One World Trade Center, lit green for Muslim American Heritage Month”
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul on Friday issued a proclamation declaring January Muslim American Heritage Month across the state and directed 16 state landmarks — including NYC’s One World Trade Center — to be illuminated green Friday night in “celebration of the heritage and culture of Muslim Americans.”
“”Home to the largest Muslim American population in the nation, New York is proud to join in this month-long celebration, recognizing the values, faith and traditions of our Muslim American communities,” Hochul wrote in a statement. “New York remains committed to being a beacon of hope, tolerance, and inclusivity that celebrates the diversity of its Muslim American population and protects them from Islamophobia, hate, bias, and harm.”
The One World Trade Center stands on the site of 6 World Trade Center, which was severely damaged by debris during the collapse of the North Tower in the 9/11 attacks.
The move came just one day after New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani was sworn in on the Quran as the first Muslim mayor of the city.
“While I was proud to be sworn in as our city’s first Muslim mayor [Thursday], Muslims have been part of New York for centuries,” Mamdani wrote in a statement. “We have built small businesses, raised our families, pursued every profession, enriched our culture and cuisine, and been a part of what makes our city what it is today. I am grateful for Governor Hochul’s leadership in recognizing these many contributions and ensuring that every January, Muslim New Yorkers can see ourselves reflected and recognized in a city and state that is also our home.”

No one will ever convince me that vote fraud isn’t as massive and nationwide as the massive and nationwide Somali fraud.
And I do believe that vote fraud applies to all Western countries.

One of my favorite verses says, “There are more with us than there are against us.”
(2 Kings)
“1 5When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early in the morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. So he asked Elisha, “Oh, my master, what are we to do?”
16“Do not be afraid,” Elisha answered, “for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”
17Then Elisha prayed, “O LORD, please open his eyes that he may see.” And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw that the hills were full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.”…
tgusa says
Very good.
Matthew 12:30, Jesus states, “He who is not with Me is against Me,”
tgusa says
Matthew 12:30 “He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters”
We are right now witnessing the truth of that and the consequences of it today.

Yes, we are witnessing something great and will not need to be repeated, ever.

Socialist Mamdani promised food and restrooms for his inauguration rally but all his supporters got was hours of freezing, no food, no restrooms. Right out of the gate he is starting like a true socialist. I will give him that.
tgusa says
I just listened to the Mamdani inauguration speech and in all my long life I have never heard so much bullshit spewed in 25 minutes. Evidently, everyone with half a brain has left NYC.
Lets just go ahead and call him, The Duke of New York.

Nassau County, the neighboring county to the east of NYC, has already taken steps to fortify its border. The objective of the Nassau County police is to contain the inevitable lawlessness under Mamdani rule to NYC.

“And even while sitting peacefully among the fragrant hay mowings of Razliv and listening to the buzzing bumblebees, Lenin could not help but ponder the future penal system. Even then he had worked things out and reassured us: ‘The suppression of the minority of exploiters by the majority of the hired slaves of yesterday is a matter so comparatively easy, simple and natural, that it is going to cost much less in blood … will be much cheaper for humanity’ than the preceding suppression of the majority by the minority.
According to the estimates of emigré Professor of Statistics Kurganov, this ‘comparatively easy’ internal repression cost us, from the beginning of the October Revolution up to 1959, a total of sixty-six million lives.”

What he means by this “frigidity”….no individual woman or young girl will be safe from the gang rape by muzzies who will be increasing the numbers of children dependent on muzzies for all their needs.
The muzzies, in turn, will be “collecting” plenty of welfare….theft of the tax paying public

Mamdani will soon be teaching the dirty kulaks a thing or two!
Nick says
As a Brit, I still can’t believe this guy got voted in, especially in a city like New York. Did no white people turn up to vote? Then again, I should ask the same question about London’s mayor Sadiq Khan who has been an absolute disaster, except for his fellow Muslims who must be enjoying seeing London turn into Tehran.
What an insane world we are living in!
Keys says
I can not believe it either, Nick, and I am American, but not a New York voter.
The stupidity of New York voters is astounding! There must have been cheating in that election.
