From the left: Cea Weaver’s ‘Ghoulish’ Beliefs
Mamdani official Cea Weaver’s “social media history became an issue” as a result of she argued that “homeownership is a weapon of white supremacy” and known as to “impoverish the white middle class,” notes Racket News’ Matt Taibbi — not merely see that the “state guarantees high-quality housing for all.”
In short, “Weaver has a spectacular, tinfoil-level fixation on white people,” but the mayor’s sticking together with her, endorsing the “booming movement of sanctioned intellectual racism.”
Beware this “ghoulish belief system”: “If one can argue that private property is just white dominion, it’s not a big leap to indicting the whole catalogue of Englightenment virtues, from Mamdani’s denunciation of ‘rugged individualism’ . . . to ‘family structure’ to the ‘Protestant work ethic’ and so on.”
Culture critic: Anatomy of a Far-Left Cult
“Groups like The People’s Forum have cultivated a cultish following,” notes City Journal’s Stu Smith, “capable of activating scores of organizations at a moment’s notice” to “flood the streets” within the “service” of America’s foes.
The discussion board phases rapid-response mobs in assist of “narco-dictator Nicolas Maduro” and the Oct. 7 assaults and sponsors “political education” occasions complaining of “the constant demonization of North Korea.”
Its seminars make use of “though-terminating cliches” that “shut down debate” and make “all of capitalism’s opponents — no matter how disreputable — seem worthy of defense.”
The Manhattan-based group’s “influence extends far beyond Gotham” and appears “poised to expand.”
Conservative: Socialism’s Hateful History
“It is remarkable that, despite its long record of failure, socialism is now more popular than ever among college students and in progressive precincts of the Democratic Party,” fumes James Piereson at The New Criterion.
“Socialists are responsible for the murder, imprisonment, and torture of many millions and perhaps hundreds of millions of innocent people.”
So “how do socialists escape the indictment that they are purveyors of tyranny and mass murder? Some of them deny that Stalin, Mao, and others were true socialists” or “assert that true socialism has never really been tried.”
It has, and at all times “begins with idealistic promises and ends in barbarism.”
Progressives like “to censor conservatives for, allegedly, promoting ‘hate’ ” however: “The record speaks for itself: socialism is a hate crime.”

Centrist: Mayor’s Housing Balancing Act
Mayor “Mamdani and his ideological allies are actually aiming for a bizarre — and doubtless unworkable — synthesis of capitalism and communism, explains Very Serious’ Josh Barro.
They see builders as “productive allies in the fight against the housing shortage” whereas “the dreaded landlords” are those “whose assets can be expropriated.”
Among the issues with this “capitalism for developers, communism for landlords” strategy: “Today’s developer is often tomorrow’s landlord.”
The plan for “holding down rents and reducing landlord profits” factors to to the town expropriating “a huge swathe of the city’s housing stock.”
The mayor ought to fear “about whether an expropriative attitude toward landlords will scare off the developers” he must depend on “to build the new homes this city so badly needs.”
From the proper: GOP Can Land a Win in Minnesota
The Minnesota fraud scandals “could become a liability for progressive welfare-for-all governance nationwide, if the GOP is smart enough to take advantage,” advises The Wall Street Journal’s Kimberly Strassel.
Along with Gov. Tim Walz, Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan knew about widespread scamming and “promised to address it on taking office in 2019,” however not solely did she and Walz “fail to halt existing fraud, criminals expanded over the next seven years.”
“This is awkward for the national progressives” backing her run for Senate. If she wins her major, she’ll be a “huge risk” within the normal, as average Minnesotans are “sufficiently steamed” by the fraud.
Republicans have a shot at beating her in the event that they “realize that Minnesota isn’t a rah-rah MAGA state, and that any such candidate will likely lose.”
