Welcome To The CCP Of NYC

Let’s check in on the People’s Republic of New York City.

Oh. An announcement of 2,000 free Broadway tickets for NYC public high school students, delivered in Mandarin. How thoughtful. How necessary. Never mind that our commander-in-chief signed an executive order making English the official language of these United States!

No need for the subtitles, Mr. Mayor. Maybe just get the kids a free Duolingo subscription instead. To each according to his needs.

The communist, terror-sympathizing tyrant of New York City will wave this off as a cute, harmless, inclusive gesture for the children, of course. But it’s more nefarious than that; it’s one more brick in his anti-American crusade to subvert every ideal this country was built on.

These “free” tickets, donated seats from producers who already sell out to tourists anyway, are just Mamdani’s latest chance to redistribute what he didn’t earn and call it “justice for the theater kids.” Every New Yorker should be able to afford Broadway, he says. Should they? I didn’t realize a night at the theater was a constitutional right. I thought I had a right to work hard, keep what I earn, and spend it how I choose, but apparently that one’s negotiable now.

This is peak Mamdani: a cutesy social post papering over a very expensive habit. Nothing he hands out is actually free.

His “free buses” would run the city $1.1 billion a year, and fares have gone up anyway. His “free childcare” plan is pegged at $6 billion, with outside estimates already creeping toward $9 billion, because they always do. (But trust him, sending your pride and joy off with a government employee to a park is so worth the tax hike.) His “free housing” push is set to produce 180 “affordable” units, for a finished price tag of $22 billion. (Somebody remind me why rent just hit a record $6,655 a month?) And don’t forget the pending Delivery Protection Act, which punishes Amazon subcontractors for the crime of subcontracting. Enjoy the higher delivery fee, Bezos Baddies.

The theater, the bus, the rent, the children — the mayoralty has deemed them a right and bequeathed you a bill.

Some may think I’m being too cynical about the Broadway Bash, but that’s because I know it’s bread and circuses. He has a plan, and he’s following it to the letter. He’s Bane with a bow tie. At a 2021 Young Democratic Socialists of America conference, then-Assemblyman Mamdani was explicit: student debt cancellation was fine to campaign on, but socialists also need to organize around the less popular causes, like Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) — the campaign that would love to see Israel wiped off the map — and “the end goal of seizing the means of production.”

Where have I heard that one before…

The network around this Marxist mayor makes the rhetoric a lot less abstract. Neville Roy Singham, the Shanghai-based billionaire Marxist, has poured hundreds of millions into left-wing nonprofits that reliably echo Chinese Communist Party talking points, and his family has done campaign work for Mamdani. Singham himself, like plenty of Mamdani’s other allies, invokes Mao, calls Western capitalism “fascism,” and pushes a “new world order” narrative that quietly erases America’s role in defeating actual fascism in World War II.

Which is why a Marxist delivering a speech in Mandarin should unsettle you: China’s communist history is not abstract; it’s tangibly terrifying. The Great Leap Forward produced the deadliest famine on record. The Cultural Revolution delivered mass persecution and economic ruin. One-party rule continues today. Soft-power language outreach and redistributionist policy deserve a little more scrutiny when they’re coming from Maoists and more broadly from America-haters.

Mamdani speaks Mandarin to signal that you don’t need to assimilate to this oppressive, colonizing country! Stay as un-American as possible, in fact. He sure is. The Ugandan native released a video slamming America as a “nation of contradictions” on her birthday, from behind George Washington’s desk. He published a “target list” naming and addressing New York’s “100 worst landlords” alongside thousands of New Yorkers who own second homes in the city. He said the boots of the NYPD are laced by the IDF. His father wrote a book blaming 9/11 on the United States. He’s been photographed with an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 WTC bombing. And families of 9/11 victims have made clear they don’t want him anywhere near this year’s 25th anniversary ceremony.

He does not like it here, and he is trying to tear it down with a Marxist sandwich: promise something good, then say and do things that quietly wreck the place underneath it. 

To be fair, the champagne socialist also posted the ticket announcement in Spanish. They say he speaks seven languages. He must have picked that up somewhere between the $70,000-a-year progressive private school on the Upper West Side and the $50,000-plus-a-year liberal arts college in Maine. Thank goodness all that education is finally paying off in the public sector, where he does nothing but lecture, pose for photos, and redistribute other people’s money in the name of social welfare.

The polished videos, the permanent Joker smile, the quiet confidence that no one will connect the multilingual theater giveaways to the man who once called seizing the means of production an end goal.
