Democrat Socialists Weaponize Envy To Destroy American Families– thefederalist.com

The recent wave of primary victories by Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) candidates has the media celebrating a web of grassroots populism and a supposed “working-class uprising.” But look past the revolutionary rhetoric, and you’ll find a much more sinister reality: Modern American socialism isn’t being driven by the proletariat; it is being bankrolled by a cabal of deep-pocketed, ultra-wealthy leftists.

Historically, socialism has never been about uplifting the poor; it is an insider game designed to consolidate state control while shielding the wealth of the ruling class and ransacking the middle class along the way. To pave the way for this scam, these trust-fund radicals must first destroy the independent American family.

To do that, they have weaponized a nasty little phrase in our modern, grievance-obsessed culture. Whenever a person achieves success, buys a home, or launches a business, the bitter arbiters of online misery waste no time throwing an insult disguised as an observation: “You’re just doing well because your parents had money to help you.”

The year before the Soviet Union developed nuclear weapons, U.S. State Department official Alger Hiss, who was intimately involved in the founding of the United Nations and served as a top advisor to Truman’s Secretary of State Dean Acheson, was accused of being a Soviet agent by former communist Whittaker Chambers, among others. The statute of limitations for bringing espionage charges against Hiss had already expired, but the spy was convicted of perjury relating to his espionage work. Shockingly, Hiss was defended by a number of high-profile government officials, including future Democratic presidential candidate Adlai Stevenson and former Democratic presidential candidate John W. Davis, in addition to Truman and Acheson. Following the Hiss conviction, Acheson is reported to have stated, “I do not intend to turn my back on Alger Hiss.” McCarthy delivered his speech two weeks later.

Ocasio-Cortez’s backing of el Sayed comes after a swing of several midterm primaries showed momentum growing against the Democratic establishment, with voters in states such as New York and Colorado picking either socialist or anti-establishment challengers over mainstream Democrats. The move also bucks the primary goals of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), whose preferred candidate in the Michigan Senate race is the more centrist Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI).

“Despite our ideological differences and whatever disagreements there are in the party, every single one of us sees this moment as existential,” Ocasio-Cortez told the New York Times, who first reported the endorsement. “And I think many people are willing to put aside differences in order to give us the best chance at winning. And I think that Abdul gives us that right now.”

On Wednesday’s Morning Joe, as left-wing cable networks continued to be forced to cover the rise of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) due to their continued wins in Democratic primaries, guest Anand Giridharadas, an online newsletter publisher, downplayed concerns of the DSA having radical ideologies. He asserted the DSA was like to “left, center-left ideology in most European countries,” and it was not “gulag socialism” or “Soviet Union Socialism.”

Co-host Willie Geist turned to Giridharadas in the aftermath of another DSA-candidate victory, this time in Colorado. Geist wondered: “But is this a bigger movement for the Democrats? Is it a problem for Democrats nationally because Republicans are going to use this – some believe extreme views of some of these candidates – against them nationally?”

Michigan state Sen. Mallory McMorrow withdrew from the Democratic Senate primary on Sunday. Once running neck and neck with her rivals for the seat being vacated by Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI), who is retiring, McMorrow had plummeted to a distant third after revelations about previously deleted tweets and a series of other campaign missteps.

While McMorrow is considered far-left, she stops short of being a democratic socialist.

She did not endorse either of the two candidates remaining in the race: Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI), who is backed by both the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and the United Democracy Project, the primary super PAC affiliated with AIPAC; or the radical Abdul El-Sayed, who has been endorsed by democratic socialists Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).

Last week, the Supreme Court voted for the federal government’s ability to remove protections for citizens of Haiti and Syria — and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) isn’t having it.

“We saw today the Supreme Court make a decision that is putting so many people’s lives in jeopardy. And I just came back from a rally with 1199 as I stood alongside a number of Haitian New Yorkers who are concerned about what this means for their status in our city,” Mamdani began in a video statement.

“And frankly, this city, the one that we love, is one that has been built by so many from so many different parts of the world. And that includes our Haitian brothers and sisters, our Syrian brothers and sisters. And we stand here ready to be in solidarity with all of those who are concerned by today’s decision,” he said.

“Now, what that means when it comes to our city is if you are worried about what this means for your status, if you’re worried about what this means for your family, I would encourage you to call our Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs hotline,” he added.

“Notice when the Supreme Court goes on their side, you absolutely must positively follow it. But if it doesn’t go their way, well, then they have all kinds of NGOs that come out of the woodwork to subvert,” Glenn comments.

“Is New York part of the United States or not? Because I’m fine with it. Cut it off … not one federal dollar goes to New York City. I am fine with that,” he continues.

Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio defended the rise of far-left socialists inside the Democratic Party on Monday, saying the party needs the kind of “insurgency” represented by figures such as radical NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

De Blasio made the comments during an appearance on “America’s Newsroom,” where he argued that voters rejected the Democratic establishment in 2024 because they viewed the party as part of a failed status quo.

“We needed a change because [of] what happened in 2024,” de Blasio said.

“People saw the Democratic Party [as] part of the status quo that they did not like,” he added.

A 29-year-old socialist ended a longtime Denver congresswoman’s tenure with an upset victory in the Democratic primary Tuesday.

Melat Kiros, an Ethiopian immigrant and lawyer who was fired over her public criticism of Israel, stunned incumbent Rep. Diana DeGette winning 49.3% of the vote to the congresswoman’s 43.5%, the Associated Press reported with 78% of ballots counted. Endorsed by Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), Kiros is the heavy favorite to win the November general election given Colorado’s First Congressional District’s strong Democratic lean.

In addition to the DSA, Kiros had the endorsements of Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and Our Revolution, a left-wing group that began as a continuation of his 2016 presidential campaign. She also had garnered the support of Chris Rabb, a fellow DSA-backed candidate who won the Democratic nomination for a deep blue Philadelphia-based seat in May, and Justice Democrats — a group instrumental in helping Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez oust a longtime incumbent in a 2018 primary.

“The View” co-host Joy Behar has defended Democratic Socialists, arguing that programs such as Social Security and public services, including fire departments, ambulances, and garbage collection, show that the far-left ideology already exists in American life.

Behar made the comments during a discussion on ABC’s daytime talk show after three congressional candidates endorsed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani won Democrat primaries in New York.

The victories gave Mamdani and his Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) allies another show of strength inside the Democrats’ progressive wing.

Melat Kiros, a socialist congressional candidate challenging incumbent Democrat Rep. Diana DeGette in Colorado’s 1st Congressional District, believes there is a need for a “Trans Bill of Rights,” considering it “horrific” to protect children from gender mutilation surgery.

Kiros announced that her campaign page was being updated to include a “Trans Bill of Rights,” during an appearance on the Call Me Limbo podcast.

“Like, we’re actually updating the website right now. I wrote all of our policy page a year ago now, but we’re updating it this week, and some of the things that we’re adding in there is also a Trans Bill of Rights,” she said, calling for greater “force” in pushing the transgender agenda.

“You know, I think we have to be so forceful and clear and aggressive in our protection and our advocacy for the trans community, especially for trans kids,” she continued, asserting that there are ballot measures in Colorado coming up that she considers to be “just horrific” and “absolutely destructive for young trans kids.”

Consider this juxtaposition: In a few weeks, Washington, D.C., will be the epicenter for America’s 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. A few months later, Washington, D.C. will likely be led by a democratic socialist for the first time ever.

As of now, democratic socialist Janeese Lewis George has a commanding lead in the Democrat Party’s primary for mayor of the nation’s capital, which occurred on June 16.

Lewis George, the first and only democratic socialist member on the DC City Council since the late 1990s, says her “people-first platform” will “improve the lives of the people in D.C. …by strategically and effectively utilizing all that the government can offer and do.”

Specifically, she wants the government to provide “childcare for all,” “affordable utilities for all,” “arts and culture for all,” “reliable transportation for all,” “good jobs for all,” and “homes for all.”

Manhattan’s average one-bedroom apartment now costs more than $5,000 a month, and critics say the real culprit is not landlord greed. It is government failure.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani rolled out his housing proposal, “Block by Block: The Housing Plan for a New Era,” on May 20, promising to build 200,000 “affordable” rent-controlled homes and preserve another 200,000 existing units over the next decade.

The price tag is just as sweeping as the promise: $22 billion in taxpayer money over five years.

But critics warn the plan looks less like a solution and more like a government takeover of the housing market, with City Hall doubling down on the same policies that helped create the crisis in the first place.

May Day demonstrations have spread across the United States, increasingly serving as vehicles for hostility toward American institutions and values. Those who celebrate these demonstrations should confront the lived reality of people from former communist countries—individuals who were not free participants but were forced each May 1, like prodded cattle, to march with their children in orchestrated displays of loyalty to party power. Refusal was not dissent; it was a punishable offense that could cost one’s livelihood, freedom, or even life.

Last week, the sign outside the Victims of Communism (“VOC”) Museum in Washington, D.C., was vandalized by a radical mob celebrating May Day and embracing communist ideology—an incident documented by the VOC Memorial Foundation, which shared photographic evidence on its official social media channels. This act was disgraceful—but not surprising. The VOC LinkedIn announcement states: “The VOC Museum teaches the violent truth about communism. That’s why we are never surprised when Marxists threaten us and vandalize our schoolhouse—they want to stop our mission.”

Back in 2020, National “Public” Radio promoted a nasty little book called In Defense of Looting. NPR summarized the “Marxist-informed” author Vicki Osterweil in the wake of the “racial justice” rioting in cities: “She argues that looting is a powerful tool to bring about real, lasting change in society.”

It’s interesting to imagine how they would feel if someone stole all their lame Nina Totenberg tote bags, or some transgressive activist broke in and emptied out the designer fashions in NPR CEO Katherine Maher’s residence. They are striking an anti-capitalist pose, and let’s guess it’s not the same if you commit property crimes against socialists.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani reiterated his commitment to socialism over the weekend when pressed on a funding shortfall that could prevent him from carrying out some of his top priorities.

“I believe in it even more than I did the day before [the election], and that’s because of the fact that it is focused on the needs of working people,” Mamdani said during an NBC Meet the Press interview released Saturday. “And working people need that focus, that fight from politicians more than ever.”

Mamdani was questioned about how he plans to carry out his hopes of freezing the rent on roughly one million apartments in the country’s largest city, as well as making buses free and providing free universal child care, despite facing a $5.4 billion budget deficit. In response, the mayor said he has already made significant progress in closing the budget gap, and touted Gov. Kathy Hochul’s (D-NY) proposal for a new tax on residents who own second homes in New York City that are worth $5 million or more as a policy that will advance his goals.

We told you that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani would be bad, and the democrat socialist has proven to be as terrible or perhaps even worse than we warned.

He’s continued his antisemitic rhetoric and demeaning of police, wants to tax the wealthy out of existence (or at least, out of the state), and is striving to make DEI great again — just what nobody needs.

On Sunday, he announced that the city’s first city-run grocery store will open in East Harlem, and it will cost $30 million to build and take over a year to complete.

Trump could probably build a dozen of these for $30 million. Why so much? Union wages play a part, but that doesn’t explain it all, considering Mamdani had earlier promised five stores for a mere $70 million:

Even assuming New York City’s priciest union-driven construction costs, a standard-sized 25,000-square-foot grocery store should only be about $15 million to build, said Adam Lehodey, an expert at the Manhattan Institute.

“Thirty million dollars for one store is exceptionally high, considering land prices are a significant part of the capital costs of new construction, and the city has announced that rents will be waived,” he said.

The ghosts of the old Soviet Union leaders are beaming with pride when they watch this video:
