Florida Commemorates Victims of Communism Day as

Ron DeSantis, governor of the free state of Florida, took a pointed jab at New York City Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani during remarks commemorating Victims of Communism Day on Friday.

Victims of Communism Day was established in the Sunshine State in 2022, but takes on particular that means this yr following Mamdani’s victory in the election earlier this week.

An applicable state nickname for one that needs to solid daylight on the lethal perils of Communism, long suppressed by an training system that helped ship ignorant voters to Mamdani in droves.

“We remember the 100 million killed at the hands of Marxist-Leninist regimes and laud those who bravely fought to break free from communism,” DeSantis (R) wrote on X. “We must ensure that young people appreciate the destructiveness of communist ideology.”

Apart from being merely a day to commemorate the thousands and thousands of victims of a lethal political and financial ideology, it’s an alternative to educate. The invoice, signed into law by DeSantis in 2022, directs colleges to develop complete instruction on the historical past of communism starting with the 2026–2027 faculty yr.

“We must ensure the students learn the lessons of history, recognize the destructiveness of Marxism—Leninism, and appreciate the founding principles of the American republic,” the governor said in a assertion.

Today in the state of Florida it’s Victims of Communism Day.

We bear in mind the 100 million killed at the palms of Marxist-Leninist regimes and laud those who bravely fought to break away from communism.

We must guarantee that younger people recognize the destructiveness of…

There Were Some More Troubling Aspects of That Mamdani Victory Speech

Unfortunately, information of the destructiveness of communism has been misplaced on Mamdani voters, whether or not out of sheer ignorance or willful ignorance. DeSantis highlighted the importance of Victims of Communism Day in mild of latest occasions.

“We just had a guy elected in New York City—elected the mayor,” he said at a speech observing the solemn day. “You know, I came up to the podium and I quoted Ronald Reagan, he came up to the podium and quoted a guy named Eugene V. Debs, who was a communist.”

CrimsonState reporter Nick Arama highlighted Mamdani’s “troubling” victory speech that talked about Debs, a well-known socialist who was arrested in 1918 under the Espionage Act and sentenced to ten years in federal prison, before having his sentence commuted by President Warren Harding.

“The sun may have set over our city this evening,” Mamdani said to supporters. “But as Eugene Debs once said, ‘I can see the dawn of a better day for humanity.’”

The irony right here is that the communist’s reign is set to plunge the town that never sleeps into a darkish hellscape.

Historical estimates attribute roughly 100 million deaths to communist regimes in the twentieth century, including 20 million under Stalin’s Soviet Union, 65 million under Mao’s China, and thousands and thousands more in Cambodia, North Korea, and Eastern Europe.

Florida is aware of the scourge all too nicely.

The communist regime in Cuba has inflicted struggling through systematic human rights abuses, including political repression, arbitrary detentions, and suppression of free speech. Not to point out chronic financial stagnation marked by shortages and poverty that have pushed mass humanitarian crises, and pushed those fleeing the oppression to Florida’s shores.

“I can’t think of a place in this country that has a more instinctive understanding of the dangers of communism than we have in our South Florida communities,” DeSantis said.

New York City residents did not appear to grasp those basic details on Election Day. And now, people relocating to Florida will not just be coming from Cuba. Nearly a million residents have indicated that they might “undoubtedly” flee New York City now that Mamdani can be in charge.
