In the 2026 main election year, a new mayor took over Gotham on January 1, with some candidates peddling Carl Marx from Sacramento to Minneapolis to New York. The most obvious example is Zohran Mamdanihe promised countless freebies and called for “seizing means of production.”
What do we want to do?”Popular Marxism“?What is its appeal?
It is the “popularity” of the two senses of words. This is Popular Because it is novel and exciting because it is shallow. This is Populist With familiar disguise, it requires cost-free satisfaction and unpaid attacks on the status quo.

Below “pop” is a dangerous ideology. Call it Marxism, socialism or communism – their goals are the same result. Marx and his disciples foresaw the “inevitable” future, promising that democratic capitalism would give way to statistical socialism, and then mature communism.
I’m from Generation Z. We are the ones who must stop socialism from taking over
The first step is an irresponsible, tenacious administrative state controls all aspects of economic life. all Aspects: What types of work you will be allowed to do, where to shop, where to shop, where to live, whether you accept inheritance or “redistribute” it to a faithful and a thousand other economic affairs.
That’s just the first stage. Communism is the second step, which means what you go and what you do, and what you think and believe in. Schools and universitiesTherefore, it is the center of indoctrination.
Many people seem to have done their jobs. In a survey earlier this year, 62% of young people had a positive view of “socialism”, an ideology that murdered 100 million people at the hands of Lenin, Stalin, Bol Porter, Castro, Mao and others.
New York City’s shocking socialist victory is a horrible warning to rights
Similarly, what is the attraction?
Young Americans are not poor, hungry or oppressed, but are very wealthy with historical and contemporary standards. To be clear, Gens Y and Z are privilegebut attracted by Marxism.
Two things deceived them together: revisionist education and improper inner gui.
The first problem is fragile, ideologically driven history education. Every year, many high school classrooms rarely participate in World War II. The exhausted teacher then skips the Cold War, the sin of communism, the heroic story of resistance, and the vigilance of Western democracies, ending school terms with their preferred version of “current events”, such as the heroism of alleged ecoterrorists.
New York’s socialist nightmare has just begun, but there is still a way out
at the same time, Course acceptance for young people Elementary schools from primary school to UP have rebuilt ideology. They were taught to view all history through the lens of Neo-Marxism Oppressor VS. Oppressed. American history and literature are centered around race, gender, and wage slavery. The United States is guilty of exploitation and domination.
Secondly, popular Marxism lasts forever guilty. They have said that their blessings were not won by their grandparents and parents, but were stolen from the poor.
The greatest generation? Whites advanced the American imperial agenda. The same is true of Cold Warriors from Berlin to Korea. American wealth is immoral and not the fruit of a free society, it encourages innovations from Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Edison to Carver, Einstein, Copland, Sack, Gates, Jobs and Musk.

It’s a great irony: these young people have both anti-institutional perspectives and a serious sense of entitlement. They requested Revolution to the company and slow government agencies, but require funding for the First World Lifestyle. They want no job and safety and no responsibility. After all, equality doesn’t mean free health care, free college, free transportation and guaranteed income?
Again, what did we teach them? What they learned from the co-lockdown is that money rolls out from the state’s printing press, citizens can pay for the lounge at home, and past grades “earning” are just for appearing on Zoom.
Losing most young Americans popular Marxism is not only unacceptable, but dangerous. The leaders of popular Marxism are crazy political, and their young followers may fall into the destructive idealism of the moment.

By contrast, today’s silent young people have much less politics, focusing on earning education, building families and paying responsibly themselves.
2026 is Election Year And the 250th anniversary of our nation’s birth, it is an appropriate time to thank us for our blessings, tell the truth about American history, favor our principle of establishing orderly freedom, and face the lies of communism.
