Brace yourself. Comrade Mamdani’s Red Revolution is coming, first to New York, then to a town near you.

Think this story is a joke? You won’t be laughing by the time you finish this article. New York City has always been a place of reinvention, a gritty metropolis where immigrants, dreamers, and strivers build something from nothing. But never before has it faced the prospect of a leader who doesn’t just want to reform the system; he wants to abolish it altogether and replace it with authoritarian socialist rule.

Meet Comrade Zohran Mamdani, the man who dreams not of being mayor but of becoming premier of the Soviet Republic of New York (SRONY).

Comrade Mamdani’s agenda is as extreme as it is dangerous. It’s no longer speculation; even Democrat lawmakers, hardly conservative firebrands, are sounding the alarm, calling him a “huge problem.” They point to his ideological extremism and his refusal to distance himself from anti-Israel rhetoric that has fueled real-world intimidation.

And they fear something deeper: that Commissar Mamdani is moving too fast, exposing the true intentions of the Democrat Party before they are ready to admit them publicly.

It isn’t just Comrade Mamdani’s foreign policy views that should worry New Yorkers. During COVID, he openly advocated for the government to seize luxury homes and redistribute them to the homeless, without compensation, due process, or any coherent plan beyond raw expropriation.

The issue is not about compassion. It’s about control.

Time for America to recognize what S.R.O.N.Y. truly is. It is nothing less than Moscow-on-the-Hudson. Under Comrade Mamdani’s rule, New York won’t be the Big Apple anymore. It will become Moscow-on-the-Hudson, a place where:

• Property rights are relics of bourgeois oppression.
• Wealth is presumed guilty until proven ideologically pure.
• Dissent is treated as a threat to “equity.”

If a tax-paying citizen owns an apartment, a brownstone, or a small business, they must surrender their property rights, and Comrade believes the state will decide who deserves what.

Comrade Mamdani’s worldview is built on resentment:

• If you succeeded, you must have cheated.
• If you prospered, you must be hoarding.
• If you object to his confiscatory schemes, you are branded an enemy of “justice.”

This corrosive ideology hollowed out Havana, East Berlin, and Moscow and always ended the same way: poverty, fear, and the flight of anyone who could escape. Let’s be clear: when prominent Democrats publicly warn that Comrade Mamdani is a danger to civil society (which is code for “he’s ahead of schedule”), New Yorkers should pay attention.

These legislators have:

• Condemned his inflammatory language.
• Called out his refusal to denounce violent protests.
• Warned about his willingness to stoke antisemitic sentiment for political gain.

Yet Comrade Mamdani shrugs off the criticism. After all, in the Soviet Republic of New York, you don’t need consensus, just control.

Think this will simply go away? Then let me ask you an honest question. How many people will fall for these clever Communist slogans?

• “From each landlord according to their lease, to each fellow comrade according to their grievance.”
• “Private property is theft, unless the Party says otherwise.”
• “SRONY: You will own nothing, and you will be happy.”

What comes next is chilling to the bone. If Comrade Mamdani’s movement succeeds, here’s what awaits:

• Mass flight of small businesses.
• Economic collapse will occur when the tax base disappears.
• A city divided along ideological lines, where loyalty to the Party determines your fate.

And once entrenched, these regimes do not give up power easily. History is littered with broken promises and battered liberties. Think this is political science fiction?

Here is The Communist Manifesto, rebranded New York style.

• A New York That Belongs to All of Us
• Housing is a human right, not a commodity.
• Healthcare and education for every family.
• No more billion-dollar tax breaks for luxury developers.
• Invest in communities, not police militarization.
• Stand up for Palestinian rights and all oppressed peoples.
• “Empty luxury apartments while families sleep in shelters? Not on my watch.
• “Corporate landlords fear our campaign because they know we are coming for their rigged system.”
• “If standing up to billionaires and fighting for working people makes me a radical, then I proudly accept that title.”

Does this sound familiar? It should; it’s the same rhetoric America has been hearing from the Democrat Party for decades. Such language is why many Democrats fear Comrade Mamdani. He’s just too loud and too fast. He’s blowing the cover off their long-term ambitions.

Make no mistake: Comrade Mamdani doesn’t want to tweak New York’s policies. He wants to tear down and rebuild the city in the image of a collectivist utopia. New Yorkers must decide whether they are prepared to hand over their property, their freedoms, and their future to ideological purity. If the Soviet Republic of New York becomes reality, it won’t be enough to disagree quietly. You’ll have to prove your loyalty or get out of the way.

Final Word: Why doesn’t the Democrat Party simply take his name off the ballot and disown him?

Because deep down, they hope he wins.
