CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JULY 25, 2025
WITH ALL THE ATTENTION GIVEN TO NEW YORK CITY’S MAYOR RACE, THE QUESTION IS: WHY DO SO MANY ESPECIALLY YOUNG PEOPLE FIND COMMUNISM AND SOCIALISM SO ATTRACTIVE? ZOHRAN MANDAMI APPEARS HEADED FOR VICTORY IN THE NOVEMBER ELECTION UNLESS VOTERS WAKEUP AND STOP HIM.
THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION I ASKED ABOUT THE REASON COMMUNISM AND SOCIALISM ARE POPULAR AMONG ESPECIALLY YOUNG PEOPLE IS THAT THEY’VE NEVER HAD TO LIVE UNDER ITHESE SYSTEMS. WITH THE COLD WAR FADING IN MEMORY, OR NOT STUDIED AT ALL, YOUNGER PEOPLE ARE NOT TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS AND UNIVERSITIES ABOUT THE FAILURES OF THESE TWIN IDEOLOGIES. UNLESS THEY WATCH AND LISTEN TO CONSERVATIVE CHANNELS, THEY ARE PROBABLY NOT AWARE OF A GROCERY STORY OPERATED BY THE GOVERNMENT IN KANSAS CITY THAT HAS NEARLY EMPTY SHELVES.
MANDAMI WANTS THE CITY GOVERNMENT TO TAKEOVER GROCERY STORES IN NEW YORK. AS IN KANSAS CITY, PRICES MAY GO DOWN A LITTLE BUT PRODUCTS WON’T BE AVAILABLE BECAUSE PROFITS WILL BE SOMETHING OF THE PAST.
FREE STUFF SOUNDS GOOD IN THEORY, BUT IN PRACTICE FREE ISN’T FREE. SOMEONE HAS TO PAY. IF MANDAMI WINS, LOOK FOR EMPTY SHELVES AND THE EXODUS FROM NEW YORK TO BECOME A STEADY FLOW. I’M CAL THOMAS.
