Democrat — what Democrat? They’re all Marxists now

OPINION:

The New York Times blasted this insightful headline in the lead to New York’s primary elections on Tuesday: “Democratic Socialists Took City Hall. Now They’re Aiming at Congress.”

The thing is, Democrats have been socialists in ideology for years. Now that the socialist label has gone mainstream, their next step is to make Marxism and communism the norm.

Today’s Democrat Party is Marxist. Read the party platforms — the Democrat platform, the Socialist Party USA, the Communist Party USA, the now-defunct Marxist-Leninist Party USA, the Progressive Party, and the words of the advocacy Democratic Socialists of America group. They’re all essentially the same.

They all seek the same end goals.

More than that, they acknowledge on their own websites and in their own writings that democratic-socialists are socialists are communists are Marxists.

Think you’re voting for the Democrat Party candidate of Presidents Bill Clinton and John F. Kennedy days? Nope. Today’s Democrats wear the D on the lapel while tying the red sash of communism around their waists. They deceive their voting bases by pretending to be Democrats, or what they paint as the even more compassionate version of Democrat — democratic socialists — but they’re as anti-America, anti-Constitution, anti-freedom as a 1930s-era Stalinist. A few years of Democrat Party election wins and America will be headed to its own Great Terror called destruction-from-within.

Let’s stop calling them Democrats and at least affix a more truthful label: Marxists works. Communists works. Generically speaking, collectivism is the new Democrat way. The party’s most vigorous face, Mayor Zohran Mamdani, said it himself: “We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism,” he said, during his recent inaugural address.

And now they’re gunning for federal offices.

“For much of the DSA’s existence, the group focused its resources and endorsements on local and state legislative races, hoping to grow its influence incrementally,” The New York Times wrote. “But after the group helped spearhead Mr. Mamdani’s stunning victory last year, the DSA’s calculus has changed. It is now targeting high-profile House races, enlisting some of the 100,000 people who volunteered for the Mamdani campaign to win over voters in gentrifying neighborhoods once thought to be hostile to socialist candidates.”

Indeed. Socialism — under the guise of “Democrat” while simultaneously masking communism — has been sweeping some significant races in recent campaigns.

The primary pick for the Democrat Party for D.C. mayor is Janeese Lewis George, a DSA-endorsee. Last November, alongside the win of Mamdani for New York City mayor, was Seattle’s own mayoral seat, Katie Wilson — another DSA choice. Just a few weeks ago came the DSA-backed primary win of Los Angeles city council member Nithya Raman for the mayor’s office. And now Mamdani is pushing into the limelight his own pick for Congress — a political activist the DSA also loves, Darializa Avila Chevalier. What’s even more interesting about the Chevalier race is that she’s being pressed by the Marxists masquerading as Democrats to replace the five-term Rep. Adriano Espaillat, who admitted he had been a “former undocumented immigrant” while seeking office. Apparently, he’s no longer leftist enough for today’s Democrat Party.

Which is to say socialist party.

Which is to say communist-Marxist-collectivist party.

All eyes are on Britain and the resignation of Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the many problems he thrust onto the citizens because of his open border policies, refusal to deal with a long-running Muslim male-dominated sexual grooming horror that roped in 250,000 or so young girls, and his appointment of Peter Mandelson, the self-described “best pal” of Jeffrey Epstein, to the post of ambassador to the United States — along with the general incompetency that goes along with being a liberal. But America better be watching by way of taking a warning.

The loss of Western civilization that the United Kingdom is suffering could soon be felt by Americans.

The very leftist forces that demanded open borders and the politically correct appeasement of dangerous ideologies, and that exploited freedoms to control whole populations, are here in America, and they’re fighting for the same destructive ends.

They’re called socialists. They’re called democratic socialists. They’re called Marxists and communists and collectivists and progressives.

And they’ve all flocked to the Democrat Party — they’re all disguising their ruinous designs as democratic in name.
