New in PJ Media:
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Thursday put to rest any lingering doubt about whether or not he is a communist, when he said, to the disgust of people worldwide who have lived under the boot of socialist tyranny, “We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.” Hardest hit, however, although they will never, ever admit it, much less issue a retraction or an apology, are the many leftist establishment media news outlets that insisted during Mamdani’s mayoral campaign that he was not really a communist at all.
Mamdani’s statement during his Thursday inaugural address came as no surprise. Mamdani made his authoritarian inclinations clear last November, when he won the New York City mayoral election and said this during his victory speech: “We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve and no concern too small for it to care about.” It was also clear several years before Mamdani ran for mayor, when in 2021 he reminded a socialist audience about “other issues that we firmly believe in, whether it’s BDS or whether it is the end goal of seizing the means of production.”
As Intifada on the Hudson: The Selling of Zohran Mamdani shows, Mamdani has also made his communist tendencies clear on numerous other occasions. On his rapper Instagram account “bayaye27,” where he posted from 2015 to 2019, he used as the featured image not a photo of himself, but of the rapper Lil Wayne wearing a red shirt emblazoned with the word “COMMUNIST.” Nevertheless, the establishment media has been determined to ensure that whatever you may think of Zohran Mamdani, you must never, ever get the idea that New York City’s new mayor is a communist. Why, the very idea is absurd!
The establishment media has been particularly avid to brand this idea absurd because one of those who was advancing it was none other than President Donald Trump. On June 25, 2025, the day after Mamdani defeated Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic mayoral primary, Trump called Mamdani a “100% Communist Lunatic.” When asked if he really was a communist, as Trump had asserted, Mamdani was definite: “No, I am not.” He claimed that “Donald Trump is attacking me because he is desperate to distract from his war on working people. We must and we will fight back.” Mamdani also implied that Trump’s real motive was (of course!) racism and xenophobia.
Mamdani could also be sure that the establishment media would run interference for him, and it did so with alacrity. Deutsche Welle (DW) informed the world that “political scientists and experts agree that the ‘communist’ label is inaccurate. Mamdani does not advocate for state control of all industries or the abolition of private property — core tenets of communism.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

One doesn’t always get wat he pays for, but often one pays for that they get. New Yorkers and those who do business with New Yorkers, will pay heavily for what this scummy muzzie has planned and schemed.
And the news people who praised him and helped make the voters look through thick sweaters, won’t accept any responsibility for lying so he could rule over them.
His mayordom will be like burning bramble, all noise and no warming heat for the cold winter.
Rick Gordon says
The general / national news media doesn’t care. Their editors and publishers only care about numbers. Never trust the initial news stories on a subject. Wait and then check multiple sources – at a minimum use something like ‘all sides’ to get closer to what’s really happening.
STJOHNOFGRAFTON says
Don’t stop with Maduro, confiscate NY from Mamdani.
RegT says
President Trump should invite Mamdani to join the warm collective at Guantanamo, and provide him with quarters there. Considering NYC is considered our center of commerce and finance, he should be considered a national security risk, perhaps worse than that of another 9/11.
RegT says
Using “considered” three times could be considered a sign of approaching dementia. My apologies, it is well after midnight 😉

“Will the ‘News’ Outlets That Insisted He Wasn’t Apologize Now?”
The answer to that question is no.
Taffy says
The MSM is just as scummy as Mamdani. Look how they lied with respect to everything from the Hunter laptop, to Joe Biden’s functionality, to Israel’s handling of its war on Hamas, to the George Floyd riots, to COVID, to the green agenda, etc. A free press was meant to be a check on governmental power, and not interposing fake news to run interference for a corrupt government gone amuck.
tgusa says
Yes Taffy the MSM personalities get paid a huge amount for towing the line. Follow the money.

Commies are awful. But Muslims are worse. Because Islam is straight from the pit of hell.

Marxist Mamdani is another virtue-signaling Muslim for Allah using discrimination, segregation, violence, and terrorism against all Non-Muslims as taught in Islam’s Qur’an(Qur’an 9:5, 29, 111; 49:15, etc.). Muslims love their Criminal-Terrorist-Gang Enterprises to help gain ultimate power and control under Islam.
SUPREMACIST ISLAM IS ANTICHRIST, AHISTORICAL, DECEITFUL, MILITARISTIC, AND POLITICAL against the USA Constitution and Western Laws to conquer and to subjugate Non-Muslims using MUSLIM-TERRORIST-CRIMINAL-GANG ENTERPRISES with ISLAMIC LAW(SHARIA) and with CONTINUOUS, TERROR PROPAGANDA from Islam’s Qur’an as evidenced by the continuous Muslim attacks to make Islam supreme(Qur’an 2:191; 3:28, 54; 4:89-91; 7:99; 8:30, 60; 9:5, 29,111; 16:106, etc.). Islam and its Muslims, enemies of Non-Muslims, are a Muslim Terrorist Organization(MTO) as taught in Islam’s Qur’an.
Deceitful Allah affirms Non-Muslims as enemies of Allah while Muslims continuously undermine a society from within using their man-made Qur’an with lies, obfuscation, and deceit(Qur’an 3:54; 7:99; 8:30; 60:4, etc.). Allah in Qur’an 4:101 says, “…Surely the infidels[Non-Muslims] were your clear enemies.” Allah expects all Muslim believers to war against all non-Muslims until the Unbelievers convert to Islam or face Muslim violence. Corrupt Allah in Qur’an 8:39 says, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…” As a result, Non-Muslims are marked for death by Islam and its Muslims.
Murderous Islam is a civilization-destroying, delusional, indoctrinating, cancerous fraud because there is NO MECCA, NO MUHAMMAD, and NO Qur’an in the 7th century AD in Saudi Arabia despite the Muslim Standard Islamic Narrative claims; the Deceitful House of Islam is founded on propaganda, lies, intimidation, and deceit where Islam’s 1400-year traditions are based on fallacy and myth including a more than 300-year gap with no documented history. Hence, NEVER give money to Islamic Countries, Islamic Organizations, Mosques, Islamic Schools, etc. because your are funding your ultimate destruction. Islam must be banned as illegal, and we have the legal right to defend ourselves from Muslim violence.
Islam’s Muslims are to be Seditionist Terrorists for Allah with their MONEY and their LIVES. Allah in Qur’an 49:15 teaches, “Surely the believers[Muslims] are only those who believed in Allah and his messenger. They do not doubt, and they performed jihad with their MONEY and their LIVES for the sake of Allah. Those are the truthful.” Again, Islam is a FACTITIOUS IDEOLOGY and CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION despicably fabricated over time into the 21sth century, and there is NO PEACE only genocidal obliteration with Islam and its deceitful Muslims(Qur’an 7:18; 8:39: 9:5, 29, 111; 11:119; 32:13; 47:4, etc.).
Demonic ALLAH claims MUSLIMS are a greater TERROR than serpentine Allah in Islam’s Qur’an. Allah in Qur’an 59:13 says, “You[Muslims] are a greater terror in their chests than Allah. This is because they[Jews & Christians] are people who do not understand.” Allah in Qur’an 9:29 commands, “Engage in war with those who do not believe in Allah nor in the last day. Nor forbid what Allah and his messenger forbid, nor believe in the religion of the truth among those who have given the book until they pay the jizyah out of hand and they are subdued.”
Islam, its Mosques, its Schools, its Sharia Courts, its Organizations, etc. are Terrorist-Criminal Enterprises of hatred and enmity against all Non-Muslims as totalitarian Islam, the House of Satan, islamizes the society with impunity(Qur’an 5:14; 9:5, 29, 111, etc.). As taught from Islam’s Qur’an, Islam should be banned for its incitement, funding, and promotion of hybrid warfare, violence, terrorism, criminality, hatred, human trafficking, and discrimination against women, children, and Non-Muslims.
Allah describes Muslim women in Jenna, Allah’s Paradise, as whores of Allah in Qur’an 56:37. Also, Allah stirs hatred against Christians until the resurrection day as Qur’an 5:14 instructs, “And some of those who say, ‘Surely we are Nasara (Christians),’ we took their covenant. So they have forgotten a part of what they were reminded of, so we have stirred up ENMITY and HATRED among them until the resurrection day. And Allah will inform them of what they were doing.” See also Qur’an 60:4; 8:55.
OLD GUY says
Collectivism, isn’t that where the Government collects everything and the people other than the top one half of one percent own everything?
Wake up America they are coming for you and everything you own and enjoy. Under Islamic rule the only thing you will own is misery.
Huh?!? says
This man’s main alliance is to Islam. He will do whatever he can to make life harder for the Jews and Christians, Buddhists, whatever. He will work to do his best to destroy the U.S. from his new vantage point. New York will be in for a world of hurt. It is already starting. As his mother pointed out, he is not an American. The U.S. needs to listen to that. He is a stealth jihadi. I am amazed that real native New Yorkers are falling for this drivel. I concerned if money would come in from Iran, Qatar and other Islamic countries to prop up his policies. Those will make these policies look pretty at least for a while. The money will have to come from somewhere when the taxpayers go broke or leave. Uncle Sam needs to follow the money and cut it off.
Walter Sieruk says
It’s no surprise or wonder ,at all. that many law enforcement officers resigning from the NYPD and leaving New York City because the incoming mayor, Zohran Mandeni is more por-.criminal than pro- police. For Mamdani with his awful plan to defund the police force is foolishness and folly, and most likely is disingenuous in a sinister Marxist sense.
Nevertheless ,one thing is for sure, which is if the police force is defunded then there in American cities and even towns there a drastic raise in crime especially heinous vile violent murderous crimes, as rapes and murderers along with rapes and the murder of the rapes victims. There would be more kidnappings and then along with that, many times, the torture and murder of the innocent people who had been kidnapped. Also more robberies and vicious violent assaults on peaceful people by hooligans and well as more vile sex assaults.
There would be a sharp and awful increase of wife and child abuse. In addition there would be a terrible large inflation of riots along with the arson, looting and vandalism that is always part of it.
There would even in non-riots be an increase in home and business break- in’s with looting vandalism and physical harm committed against the peaceful people by thugs.
There can be no doubt that many people who now want the police to be defunded would be first to complain if they would become a victims of hooligans.
Therefore, the police definitely be well funded and supported and never defunded.
Furthermore, that Communist ,Mandani , probably with his sinister scheme to defund the police, in might intentionally want to increase crime to ruin New York City in the Marxist hopes that that fantasy to such crime chaos and mayhem would spread to other cities across the United States.
As Karl Marx had written “If we can but weld our souls together, then with contempt shall I fling my glove in the world’s face, then I shall stride through the wreckage a creator !”
Walter Sieruk says
It’s the United States Constitution along the economics of free enterprise that is most proper and fitting for America. Not the flawed and faulty economics of Karl Marx which Zohran Mamdani to blindly favors and strives to impose on New York City.
Marxist Mamdani therefore is very un-American , he should be expelled from office and from the US/
As the former US President, Theodore Roosevelt, had well-spoken when he declared in a speech “There can be no fifty-fifty Americanism in this country. There is only room here for only hundred percent Americanism, only for those who are Americans and nothing else.”
Walter Sieruk says
Communist ,Zohran Mamdani,, wants to abolish the prisons which would free many vicious psychopaths and sociopaths to attack and maliciously harm decent peaceful law abiding citizens, Such criminal chaos and would destroy New York City beyond repair , the colossal damage to it do would be so terrible that is would be irreversible .
Furthermore, in time would spread to other State and cities across America.
With this policy of disaster Mamdani, has clearly exposed his Communist side of his comrades of the Red/Green alliance .
Mamdani sinister scheme freeing the criminals which would be very destructive to the United States is a reflection of founder of Communism, Karl Marx , who had written “If we can but weld our souls together, then with contempt shall I fling my glove in the world’s face, then I shall stride through the wreckage a creator !”
Walter Sieruk says
It might be that Zohan Mandani is so very indoctrinated by this left-wing university ‘education” that is actually believes that Marxism is a valid economic system. This in no way excuses him from the damage and harm that he will do to New York City.
Most likely Mamdani is blind to the fact and outright ignorant that Karl Marx with his COMMUNIST MANIFESTO an long with his three volume THE CAPITAL in which he explained his economic political/philosophical scheme for a “classless and stateless society “ in which “Everyone works according his ability and receives according to his needs.’’ has many times over by refuted and discredited by genuine economists, sociologists and historians. These scholars have thoroughly exposes the many economic fallacies and flaws of Marxism way before the collapse of Communism in Russia and the Eastern bloc nations in 1992. Therefore even the recent history of the early 1990’s disproves Marxism as extremely erroneous. So it’s Adam Smith with his THE WEALTH OF NATIONS that is valid and in contrast Karl Marx with his written nonsensical a full of folly and invalid.
So it’s highly unlikely that Communist rulers [dictators] really believe in the obvious flawed economic fallacies of Karl Marx. Nevertheless, they all still need to publicly stand firm on the teachings, principles and precepts of Communism as laid down in the many writing of Marx. This is because evil is always looking for an excuse. Therefore, Marxism is the excuse to set up and up hold tyrannical red regimes. As if those Communist dictators actually believe that in the future a “pure perfect Communist society “ will come from their tyranny . As in the saying “Being cruel, brutal and deadly for the greater good” What nonsense! Thus to uphold the ideals of Marxism, Communist tyrants as Kim Jong Un of North Korea cruelly persecute Christians. For Christians believe in the Bible and Marxism is so very weak and fragile in its nature and because it lacks sound logic and rational arguments based on reason to uphold it , the whole Marxist system collapse down to the ground In the light in information of the Bible. Since Communists don’t have a firm foot based on reality and reason to base Marxism on in which is the foundation for the heinous rule. They resort to extremely harsh severe, malicious and murderous persecution against Christians and burn their Bibles.
Ralph says
I refer to the old seafarer’s maxim, ‘It is an ill wind, indeed, that blows nobody some good”. Mamdani is certainly an ill wind and the good that he will (unconsciously) blow is that the uneducated American “middle” will have a front row seat to witness the horribly flawed economic and social mayhem that accompanies communism and Islime.
In the short run, it is tempting to agonize re NYC voter stupidity, but overall, I believe he will be such a disaster in all regards that he will teach a sad lesson to his constituents. Then, it will be good riddance.
Michael says
You know…f*ck ’em. I’m sorry to say this if you happen to live there, but I think you must know far better than I do that you should’ve gotten out long ago. The endgame of the communists who bought the big lie over half a century ago is now fully deployed and in motion, and it’s time to take stock and be strong so you can protect the ones you love. The good people who are stuck there because they don’t have the means to leave have my pity.

Yes, Mamdani Is a Commie. Will the ‘News’ Outlets That Insisted He Wasn’t Apologize Now?
……………………………………………….
He only demurred until he was safely in office.
abu taleb says
Mamdani is not a commie, he is a muslim who pretends to be a commie.
But actually, the difference between a muslims and a commie is simply in the believe of Allah, other than that, they are the same in a way that they will try to gain everything for themselves in the expense of other people, and they will use every way possible no matter it is right or wrong.
somehistory says
dam ani’s people are saying owing property is “White supremacy”….or something like that. Now they can take all property away from the Whites in NYC….but what about property owned by others?…they may riot over that…many muzzies are of the colored skin variety.
Oh, what a tangled web is weaved by liars and thieves….
andy says
let us call the spade spade. Zorhan is a Islamic Jihadists period. He is enemy of America, period. He must be taken out soon. Trump is the true American.
abhay says
Collectivization is not only a communist concept. Jihadi muslims are even more collectivized. But then the collectivism of muslims alone. The others can only be victims of their aggression.
