Mamdanis Chilling Inaugural Remarks Are a

On Thursday, Zohran Mamdani was inaugurated as the Mayor of New York City. 

As we reported, his “block party” appeared to be a harbinger of issues to come and a image of his failed radical leftist thought, with no loos and no food. It was the first day, and already his administration was a big fail. The people are already discovering out that he is not going to be what they thought.

Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14) spoke before Mamdani. But she set the stage for the unconventional remarks, outlining some of his guarantees.

“New York City has chosen the ambitious pursuit of universal childcare, affordable rents and housing, and clean and dignified public transit for all,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “We have chosen that over the distractions of bigotry and the barbarism of extreme income inequality.”

I’m going to guess that either he would not ship or if he does ship any of this, people will discover out all the issues with each of these concepts. 

Then, Mamdani’s remarks had people speaking. He fully ripped off the masks, if who he was wasn’t already clear. He made clear that the “era of big government” was not over.

“We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism,” Mamdani declared. 

That’s anti-the very ideas of this nation. We are based on particular person rights, not group rights or collectivism. The entire level of our Constitution is to defend us from the excesses of governmental overreach. Rugged individualism made America. 

The heat of collectivism – you imply the hell you have got to go through under it? Or the nice and cozy blood of the many useless because of collectivist ideologies?

Then, too, many famous that collectivism was quite chilling, in the a number of senses of that phrase, from the oppressive Chinese Communists to the freezing gulags of the Soviet Union.

Mamdani Era Set to Begin With Perhaps the Most Radical Appointment to Date. Are NYCers Ready for It?

Mamdani wasn’t fairly completed yet, as he said he wasn’t going to apologize for what he believed. 

🚨 NOW – NYC MAYOR ZOHRAN MAMDANI: “I was ELECTED as a Democratic Socialist, and I will GOVERN as a Democratic Socialist!”

“I was elected as a Democratic Socialist and I will govern as a Democratic Socialist!” he proclaimed. 

“I will not abandon my principles for fear of being deemed radical. As the great Senator from Vermont [Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), who was sitting in the audience listening and cheering] once said, ‘What’s radical is a system which gives so much to so few and denies so many people the basic necessities of life.'”

Once in, Mamdani revoked all of former Mayor Eric Adams’ govt orders that had been signed after Sept. 26, 2024 – the date of Adams’ indictment.

Mamdani’s phrases on Thursday are phrases of foreboding. New Yorkers had ample warning, but they selected to flip a blind eye to historical past. It is not going to be fairly.
