Hello, it's Miranda. I'm back with a new mini episode of Podforce One. This feature is a little more

topical and relevant to my job as a columnist for The New York Post. Today's topic is about New York's

Marxist Mayor Zoran Mamdani and his ominous promise to solve the city's

housing problems by seizing private property, block by block. It's a path that has always

ended in misery, but we can't say we weren't warned. Zoran Mamdani's promise to seize the properties of landlords, he deems,

unworthy, should send a chill down the spine of every New Yorker. Quote, when necessary,

we will take aggressive legal action to remove negligent owners and property managers.

The socialist mayor told a cheering crowd of leftists

in Brooklyn on Tuesday when he unveiled his block-by-block housing plan.

Quote, for buildings that have suffered chronic neglect, we will work to transfer ownership to

responsible stewards, including community land trusts, non-profits,

or even the tenants themselves, end quote. Wherever in history his Marxist prescriptions have

been applied, misery and tyranny follow. From Stalin to Mao to Pol Pot, 100 million deaths

were caused by communist regimes in the 20th century alone. This is a lesson the 34-year-old

Nipo baby appears to have missed, or doesn't care to heed, because the revolution is never about

improving the lot of the downtrodden. It's all about seizing power. Mandani, having won office

on the Democratic Socialists of America ticket, told us just what he thought of America

in his inaugural address. Quote, we will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism,

he said.

By collectivism, he means the state must seize the means of production,

the factories, land, businesses, property and capital that generate wealth.

This requires total economic control, which is impossible without total social control.
