Let's speak about american socialists!

Since 1 january 2026 the mayor post of the capital of world capital holds typical socialist Zohran Mamdani. I thoot it would be fair to start from him🤔

Let's learn his biography:

Zohran Kwame Mamdani was born on October 18, 1991, in Kampala, Uganda, the only child of postcolonialist academic Mahmood Mamdani and filmmaker Mira Nair

"postcolonialist academic"☝️ Not a physicist, not a chemist, not a talented engineer or doctor... Well!

Mamdani was one of 23 Ugandan students in the 1963 group of the Kennedy Airlift, a US-funded scholarship program that brought hundreds of East Africans to universities in the United States and Canada between 1959 and 1963. Mamdani graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Pittsburgh in 1967.
He was among the many students in the northern US who made the bus journey south to Montgomery, Alabama, organized by the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee in March 1965 to participate in the civil rights movement. This was during the time of, but distinct from, the Selma to Montgomery marches. He was jailed during the march and was allowed to make a phone call. Mamdani called the Ugandan ambassador in Washington, DC, for assistance. The ambassador asked him why he was "interfering in the internal affairs of a foreign country", to which he responded by saying that this was not an internal affair but a freedom struggle and that they too had gotten their freedom only last year. Soon after, Mamdani learned about Karl Marx's work from an FBI visit

Look! He produced nothing, made no scientific discoveries, and, in short, was not noted for any creative activity. He merely studied at the expense of the American taxpayer. But after just two years of studying in the US, he began "fighting for rights."

BTW what kind of activity the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee was engaged?

By the mid-1960s the measured nature of the gains made, and the violence with which they were resisted, were generating dissent from the group's principles of nonviolence, of white participation in the movement, and of field-driven, as opposed to national-office, leadership and direction. By this time many of SNCC's original organizers were working with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), and others were being lost to a de-segregating Democratic Party and to federally-funded anti-poverty programs. At the same time, the Committee took positions on international affairs that alienated establishment supporters: opposition to the Vietnam War and, in the wake of the Six Day War, criticism of Israel.

The main critics of the Vietnam War were the Soviet Union, which closely collaborated with the government of North Vietnam under Ho Chi Minh. And the same Soviet Union was the main critic of Zionism after the defeat of the Arab coalition in 1967. Incidentally, I haven't heard a single word of indignation about the occupation of territory intended for the creation of the country of "Palestine" by Egypt (the Gaza Strip) and Jordan. Let me remind you that the Soviet Union voted by three votes for the partition of Mandatory Palestine. I wrote about this HERE. And first time Soviet Union helped to young jewish state counting on the Jews to help the Soviet Union push its line in the Middle East. But by the 1950s, the Soviet Union had completely sided with the Arabs, actively pumping them with weapons.

Soviet representatives on the Security Council consistently defend the General Assembly resolution on the partition of Palestine of November 29, 1947.
In response to M. Shertok’s telegram, Comrade Molotov reported in his telegram of May 18 that “the Government of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics has made a decision to officially recognize the State of Israel and its Provisional Government”.
...the USSR's position should consist of defending the General Assembly's decision of November 29, 1947, on the partition of Palestine and the formation of Jewish and Arab states in Palestine. At the same time, it is necessary to decisively reject any proposal to expand Transjordan at the expense of Palestine, which to a certain extent may be supported by some Arab states (for example, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Egypt).

But... western socialists don't care it🤔 Socialists are generally bad at causal relationships.
Socialists also have their own anti-colonialism: if Western capital pushes its interests - it’s "bad"; if the Soviet Union does the same - it’s "good".

Mamdani's father also learned Karl Marx's works! Well Let me introduce you to some moments in his biography which could look "awkward" for his fans
What's interesting else?

Mamdani returned to Uganda in early 1972 and was employed by Makerere University in Kampala as a teaching assistant, at the same time conducting his doctoral research. He and most Asians were expelled later that year by Ugandan dictator Idi Amin because of their ethnicity; Amin intended to "reclaim" businesses and properties.

What we should to know about Idi Amin in this case?

Throughout the first year of his presidency, Amin received key military and financial support from the United Kingdom and Israel. In July 1971 he visited both countries and asked for advanced military equipment, but the states refused to provide hardware unless the Ugandan government paid for it. Amin decided to seek foreign support elsewhere and in February 1972 he visited Libya. Amin denounced Zionism (He was probably offended that they weren't giving him anything for free🤔), and in return Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi pledged Uganda an immediate $25 million loan to be followed by more lending from the Libyan–Ugandan Development Bank. Over the following months Amin successively removed Israeli military advisers from his government, expelled all other Israeli technicians, and finally broke diplomatic relations.
The Soviet Union under Leonid Brezhnev grew increasingly interested in Uganda as a strategic counterbalance to perceived Chinese influence in Tanzania and Western influence in Kenya. It dispatched a military mission to Uganda in November 1973. While it could not supply the financial level available from the Western powers, the Soviet Union opted to provide Amin with military hardware in exchange for his support. The Soviet Union quickly became Amin's largest arms supplier, sending Uganda tanks, jets, artillery, missiles, and small arms. By 1975, it was estimated that the Soviets had provided Amin's government with $12 million in economic assistance and $48 million in arms. Amin also sent several thousand Ugandans to Eastern Bloc countries for military, intelligence, and technical training, especially Czechoslovakia. East Germany was involved in the General Service Unit and the State Research Bureau, the two agencies that were most notorious for terror. During the Ugandan invasion of Tanzania in 1979, East Germany attempted to remove evidence of its involvement with these agencies...
In June 1976, Amin allowed an Air France airliner that had been scheduled to fly from Tel Aviv to Paris but had been hijacked by two members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – External Operations and two members of the German Revolutionäre Zellen to land at Entebbe Airport.

Well... This is how the Soviet Union united the proletarians of all countries. And for some reason, everyone united around so-called "Palestine", whose occupation by Arab countries from 1948 to 1967 no one, including the Soviet Union, condemned. But as soon as they began to suffer defeat, everyone immediately became "anti-colonialists."

BTW this is words of first PLO-chief Ahmad Shukeiri said in 1962 to soviet ambassador

Shukairi said that he was even in favor of Jordan not only retaining part of Palestine, but that all of liberated Palestine would be annexed to Jordan. The main task is to liberate Palestine and eliminate Israel, regardless of whether Palestine is independent or annexed to Jordan

I already wrote about it - READ HERE

This is what the so-called Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, which included the NY mayor's daddy, condemned.
I don't see any point in discussing the rest of her biography—everything is perfectly clear here. Let's move on to his mother:

Mira Nair was born in Rourkela on 15 October 1957, the daughter of social worker Praveen Nair and Indian Administrative Service officer Amrit Lal Nair...

Again "social workers" and "administrative employees," that is, in simple terms, typical bureaucrats🤔

She studied at Miranda House — a college for women at Delhi University — where she majored in sociology...
After turning down the offer of a full scholarship to Cambridge University in England (later saying "I had a chip on my shoulder about the Brits") in 1976, aged 19, she moved to the US to attend Harvard University on a scholarship.
That's why I am neither a photographer nor writer, I like to work with people, and my strength, if any, is that. Working with life

And icing on the cake😃

In July 2013, Nair declined an invitation to the Haifa International Film Festival as a "guest of honor" to protest Israel's policies toward Palestine. In posts on Twitter, Nair wrote: "I will go to Israel when the walls come down. I will go to Israel when occupation is gone...I will go to Israel when the state does not privilege one religion over another. I will go to Israel when Apartheid is over. I stand w/ Palestine for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) and the larger BDS Mov't." Nair was praised by PACBI, which said her decision to boycott Israel "helps to highlight the struggle against colonialism and apartheid

It is more than obvious whose methodology this lady is broadcasting🤔

Well, it is these same individuals with highly questionable "achievements" who have introduced the world to the new mayor of NYC.

Mamdani lived in Kampala until the age of five, when his family moved to Cape Town, in South Africa's Western Cape province... He later said that the experience of living in Cape Town "taught me what inequality looks like up close ... [and] that justice has to be more than an idea; it has to be material"

In this phrase we hear the sacramental "take away and divide" typical of the proletariat.

The family moved to the United States and settled in New York City when Mamdani was seven, and he was raised in Morningside Heights. He has described his upbringing as "privileged", saying, "I never had to want for something, and yet I knew that was not in any way the reality for most New Yorkers."

Typically words of champagne socialist - kid from a bohemian family, fawning over the crowd

Mamdani attended Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine, where he co-founded the school's chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine. He was a regular contributor to the campus newspaper The Bowdoin Orient, covering politics, culture, and sports in his column, "Kwame's Column". In January 2014, he co-authored an op-ed in the Bangor Daily News urging Bowdoin to join the American Studies Association's boycott of Israel and criticizing the college's president, Barry Mills. Mamdani graduated from Bowdoin in 2014 with a bachelor's degree in Africana studies

As we say "apple falls nearby the apple-tree" means "like father like son"😃

As far as I know, Mamdani the son was never seen in creative or scientific activity, just like his ancestors. That is, a typical loudmouth demagogue demanding justice at someone else's expense.

Mamdani is a fan of hip-hop and has composed, performed, and produced rap music. Under the moniker Young Cardamom, he collaborated with his best friend, Ugandan rapper HAB (Abdul Bar Hussein), whose origins are in South Sudan

A little bit of his creativity

Only 1.3 million views in 6 years. Definitely creativity like this is interesting for not very wide group of people🤔 He doesn't sell creativity as a commodity, to profit from it and share the proceeds with the poor, as creative people like Willem Dafoe (although there are many questions about its apparent asceticism, but that is a separate topic🤨) do. No! He prefers not to bother too much, but simply "take and share."
BTW the video went viral not because of the rapper's talent, but because of the inclusion of Madhur Jaffrey, the legendary actress and food critic, who played the role of a "cool grandma". It's a classic example of exploiting someone else's authority and connections (remember the director mom!) to create the illusion of popularity.

In their music, they addressed social issues in Uganda, such as corruption and "black and brown relations", as well as colonialism. Young Cardamom and HAB were nominated for "Rookie of the Year" at the inaugural Ugandan (UG) Hip Hop Awards...
Mamdani entered New York City politics as a volunteer for Ali Najmi's campaign in the 2015 special election for the 23rd district of the City Council

If Mamdani is so concerned about Uganda, why did he become mayor of New York? To turn New York into Uganda?🤔 Maybe he should have turned Uganda into New York? No?🤨 Oh yes, it takes work, and no one in the Mamdani family is accustomed to working.
Incidentally, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, among others, proclaimed in their Communist manifesto enforcement of universal obligation of labour. But... Mamdani is a patrician🤔 Or what else should we call it? Doesn't the reader see some contradiction to Marxism, which both his venerable daddy and he himself adhere to?🤨
Marx and Engels declared the abolition of classes, but... it seems we can't do without classes. The poor remains of Marxism's founders are tossing and turning in their graves, because classes haven't gone away! And the ruling class has become the "red bourgeoisie" or nomenklatura like Mamdani. Their "labor" is an interpretation of reality. They don't build houses, fix teeth, or code software. They "create meanings" that allow them to justify the expropriation of the fruits of labor from those who actually work.

But why are we only talking about Mamdani? Let's take a closer look at his komsomol colleagues!😃

Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s newly appointed tenant advocate called to “seize private property” and blasted homeownership as a “weapon of white supremacy” in a series of pro-Communist social media posts.

Meet Cea Weaver! New NYC tenant advocate called to "seize private property" blasted homeownership as "white supremacy"...

"Private property including and kind of ESPECIALLY homeownership is a weapon of white supremacy masquerading as ‘wealth building’ public policy."

But... her daddy manages rental property and her mommy is a professor at a prestigious college and boasts a $1.6 million home in Tennessee - https://nypost.com/2026/01/07/us-news/zohran-mamdanis-tenant-advocate-cea-weaver-breaks-down-crying-when-asked-about-hypocritical-gentrification-comments/ Just almost like Friedrich Engels parasitizing on his rich daddy!😃
If that's not hypocrisy, then I don't know what hypocrisy is🤔

She previously coordinated the statewide organization Housing Justice for All and was a central figure in the campaign that led to the passage of the Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act of 2019. A member of the Democratic Socialists of America, Weaver has advocated for rent strikes and regulations that prioritize housing for community use rather than profit.

As always, justice is at someone else's expense, the main thing is not at one's own

Go to next person! Lina Khan

Khan was born on March 3, 1989, in London, to Pakistani immigrant parents

Another "depressed"! Why I'm not surprized?🤨

She grew up in Golders Green in the London Borough of Barnet. Her parents, a management consultant and an employee of Thomson Reuters, moved to the United States when she was 11 years old. The family settled in Mamaroneck, New York, where she and her two siblings attended public school
The racial makeup of the town was 88.93% White, 2.80% Black or African American, 0.12% Native American, 3.12% Asian, 0.05% Pacific Islander, 2.91% from other races, and 2.06% from two or more races. Hispanic of any race were 10.92% of the population.
The median income for a household in the town was $84,213, and the median income for a family was $118,774 (these figures had risen to $108,702 and $144,834 respectively as of a 2007 estimate). Males had a median income of $81,249 versus $42,703 for females. The per capita income for the town was $57,822. About 2.9% of families and 4.5% of the population were below the poverty line, including 3.7% of those under age 18 and 7.1% of those age 65 or over.

Not bad place to be pakistani "depressed"🤔

At Mamaroneck High School, Khan was involved in the student newspaper. After high school, she studied political science at Williams College in Massachusetts. She spent her junior year studying at Exeter College, Oxford through the Williams-Exeter Programme at Oxford. She was the editor of the Williams College student newspaper and wrote her senior thesis on Hannah Arendt. She graduated in 2010 with a Bachelor of Arts...
...
Williams College is a private liberal arts college in Williamstown, Massachusetts... Following a liberal arts curriculum, Williams College provides undergraduate instruction in 25 academic departments and interdisciplinary programs including 36 majors in the humanities, arts, social sciences, and natural sciences
From 2010 to 2014, Khan worked at the New America Foundation, where she engaged in anti-monopoly research and writing for Barry Lynn at the Open Markets Program. Lynn was looking for a researcher without a background in economics, and he began critiquing market consolidation with Khan's help

Critiquing market consolidation without a background in economics?🤨 Ok-kay...😏

Who's next?
Jahmila Edwards

...a top official in the city’s DC 37 union... DC 37 is the city’s largest public sector union, representing more than 150,000 active city workers employed across the municipal government. As associate director, Edwards has helped oversee the powerful union’s public policy and political operations.
The union was a key supporter of Mamdani during the 2025 mayoral race.

Typically "nomenclatura" which I wrote above

Edwards is also the district leader for Brooklyn’s District 43, which spans Crown Heights and Prospect Lefferts Gardens, and the founder of Stash Queens, a Brooklyn-based cannabis company, according to her LinkedIn page.

You know here I remembered one of my favorite song os Black Sabbath where are this words

You work your life away and what do they give?
You're only killing yourself to live
Just take a look around you, what do you see?
Pain, suffering, and misery
It's not the way that the world was meant
It's a pity, you don't understand
...
I'm telling you, believe in me, nobody else will tell you
Open your eyes and see the lies, oh yeah
Smoke it! Get high!...

🤔

Great song, Gteatest group! R.I.P. Ozzy!😢

Let's shift to another "proletarian"!


Mysonne Linen
Mysonne “the General” is an independent hip hop artist and criminal justice reform activist from the Bronx whose singular work with impacted communities has made extraordinary contributions to stopping violence. As Paul Robeson said “Artists are the gatekeepers of truth. They are civilization’s radical voice”.
As a member of the rapid response group Justice League NYC, and in his role as a valued member of Women’s March, Mysonne helped lead national demonstrations against police brutality and gun violence, including leading the 250 mile March2Justice from New York to Washington, DC in 2015 and organizing the Women’s March NRA2DOJ march in 2018

Most popular his composition with 980 thousands views also created 6 years ago

But it's not most interesting!

Zohran Mamdani has picked Mysonne Linen, who was in state prison for armed robbery, to advise him on the criminal justice system...
As reported by Fox News and the New York Post, he was convicted in 1999 of two armed robberies involving taxi drivers, in cases where both victims identified him in court.

The robber will be a criminal justice consultant!🤣🤣🤣

BTW What is Paul Robeson famous for?

When Paul Robeson first arrived in the Soviet Union in 1934, he was greeted as an international celebrity, one of the world's greatest singers. An idealist, Robeson believed the social climate in the USSR was healthier than in the United States. Wanting to shield his son from racism, he brought him to Moscow. The Kremlin, of course, knew of Robeson's idealistic views on Soviet society, successfully concealed the harsh reality of Soviet life from him, and transformed him into a devoted Marxist-Leninist. In 1939, Robeson returned to the Soviet Union again—this time to pick up his son. War had broken out in Europe, and Robeson considered it dangerous to leave him in Moscow. When he returned ten years later, in 1949, newspapers hailed him as a hero of the Spanish Civil War, where he reportedly risked his life to perform for the soldiers of the International Brigades. Robeson, along with his renowned accompanist Lawrence Brown, gave three concerts in Moscow, after which he embarked on a tour of the country...
...Upon Robeson's return to the United States, following a triumphant tour of the Soviet Union, the authorities revoked his passport, citing his anti-American statements. During one of his concerts in the USSR, Robeson said in Russian, "I was, am, and always will be a friend of the Soviet Union."
When, after performing several songs, Robeson launched into the next, I shuddered in surprise. I had heard this sad Jewish song about the people's centuries-long suffering before and suspected it would anger the party leaders present at the concert. Did Robeson, who saw only the good in the Soviet system, know about the existence of anti-Semitism in the USSR? He probably did, and most likely, he understood what he was doing. His voice was sobbing, a call to end the humiliation, beating, and extermination of Jews. He sang in Yiddish, but I was sure that even those in the audience who were hearing this sad song for the first time sensed its message... Robeson allegedly asked Khrushchev whether Western newspapers were telling the truth about the existence of anti-Semitism in the USSR. After this, according to my interlocutor, whose honesty I had no doubt, "Khrushchev, known for his irascibility, flew into a rage and accused Robeson of interfering in the country's internal affairs"...
...when word spread of Robeson's conflict with Khrushchev, the broadcasts ceased. I never heard him on the radio or read about him in the newspapers again. He was erased from the collective memory of the country he admired. He was a favorite of the Soviets as long as he blindly followed their ideological line, but he became a pariah as soon as he questioned the justice of their domestic policies.

From the book of Robert Robinson "Black on red"

Ramzi Kassem

https://www.financialexpress.com/world-news/us-news/who-is-ramzi-kassem-mamdani-taps-lawyer-who-once-defended-al-qaeda-linked-prisoner/4093230/

New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani announced on Tuesday that he is appointing Ramzi Kassem as the city’s chief counsel, the top legal position in the city. Mamdani is set to take office on January 1, 2026.
Kassem has a history of defending high-profile and controversial clients. Kassem served as the lead lawyer for Ahmed al-Darbi, who in 2014 pleaded guilty before a US military commission to charges linked to an al-Qaeda attack on the French oil tanker MV Limburg off the coast of Yemen, according to Fox News. The attack killed one civilian and injured several others. Al-Darbi was convicted in 2017 and later transferred to Saudi Arabia in 2018. At the time of al-Darbi’s transfer, The Associated Press and The New York Times reported that Kassem said, “While it may not make him whole, my hope is that repatriation at least marks the end of injustice for Ahmed... He had 16 long and painful years in captivity.”

He saved terrorists from pork. I think that's all we need to know about him🤔

Where would we be without America's leading communist? Meet Bernie Sanders!

Here we have the same leftist activism as in the case of the New York mayor's dad. Note, it's imperative to emphasize that he was born into a "working-class family"—the same as the bolsheviks.

Ideologically a democratic socialist, Sanders is regarded as one of the main leaders of the modern American progressive movement.
Born into a working-class Jewish family and raised in New York, Sanders attended Brooklyn College before graduating from the University of Chicago in 1964. While a student, he was a protest organizer for the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) during the civil rights movement. Sanders is credited with influencing a leftward shift in the Democratic Party after his 2016 campaign. An advocate of progressive policies, he opposes neoliberalism and supports workers' self-management. He supports universal and single-payer healthcare, paid parental leave, tuition-free tertiary education, a Green New Deal, and worker control of production through cooperatives, unions, and democratic public enterprises. On foreign policy, he supports reducing military spending, more diplomacy and international cooperation, and greater emphasis on labor rights and environmental concerns in negotiating international trade agreements. Sanders supports workplace democracy and has praised elements of the Nordic model.

Almost Communist manifesto, but don't you dare to ask him about private property😃

“Do I own three residences? Yeah, I do,” Sanders said in an interview with Lex Fridman.
He then laid out the details: “I live here in Burlington, Vermont. We live in a middle-class neighborhood. Nice house. Guess what? I’m a United States senator and I own a home in Washington DC as do most senators — you live there year after year … And guess what? Like many thousands of people in the state of Vermont, I have a summer camp. It’s a nice one on Lake Champlain. That’s it.”
Now how did I get the money? I wrote two best-selling books, including this book on capitalism. It was [a] New York Times bestseller for a while,” he said.
“I don’t really give a damn about money. I drive a car that’s 11 years old,” he said. “I don’t have a Rolex watch, would not be interested in it.”
In addition to his civil rights activism during the 1960s and 1970s, Sanders was active in several peace and antiwar movements while attending the University of Chicago, becoming a member of the Student Peace Union. He applied for conscientious objector status during the Vietnam War; his application was eventually turned down, by which point he was too old to be drafted. Although he opposed the war, Sanders never criticized those who fought in it and has strongly supported veterans' benefits throughout his political career

It's great to be a "conscientious objector" when you're not in danger of being drafted😏

He was briefly an organizer with the United Packinghouse Workers of America while in Chicago... After graduating from college, Sanders returned to New York City, where he worked various jobs, including Head Start teacher, psychiatric aide, and carpenter. In 1968, he moved to Stannard, Vermont, a town small in both area and population (88 residents at the 1970 census) within Vermont's rural Northeast Kingdom region, because he had been "captivated by rural life". While there, he worked as a carpenter, filmmaker, and writer

He is a butcher, a carpenter, and a director... in a word, "a jack of all trades".

😃
During the 1980 presidential election, Sanders was one of three electors for the Socialist Workers Party in Vermont...
After resigning from the Liberty Union Party in 1977, Sanders worked as a writer and as the director of the nonprofit American People's Historical Society (APHS). While with the APHS, he produced a 30-minute documentary about American labor leader Eugene V. Debs, who ran for president five times as the Socialist Party candidate.

What do we know about this candidate? Let's read on!

His father, who came from a prosperous Protestant family, owned a textile mill and meat market...
Debs attended public school, dropping out of high school at age 14... In December 1871, when a drunken locomotive fireman failed to report for work, Debs was pressed into service as a night fireman. He decided to remain a fireman on the run between Terre Haute and Indianapolis, earning more than a dollar a night for the next three and half years. In July 1875, Debs left to work at a wholesale grocery house, where he remained for four years while attending a local business school at night.

Debs dropped out of school because he was drawn to the romance of the railroad.
A fireman on the Terre Haute-Indianapolis line earned around $1.10-$1.25 per shift. With a six-day workweek, that came to $28-$32 per month. This was quite a decent salary for a teenager.
By comparison, an unskilled laborer could earn 75 cents per day. In Indiana at that time, $30 per month was enough not just to survive, but also to buy decent food and rent (in Debs' family, this was essentially pocket money, as he lived with his parents).
For comparison, that same 1870 dollar is equivalent to approximately $25-$30 today in purchasing power (CPI), but when measured through "cost of labor," it's closer to $300-$400. This means his monthly income was equivalent to $8,000-$10,000 today, based on the economy of that time.
It's not clear what he had to complain about in such conditions?🤨

It reminds me of a certain modern figure🤔

Musk arrived in Canada in June 1989, connected with a second cousin in Saskatchewan, and worked odd jobs, including at a farm and a lumber mill.

As we can see, some people work hard, while others get involved in political activism.

Debs was the Socialist Party of America candidate for president in 1904, 1908, 1912, and 1920 (the final time from prison). Though he received increasing numbers of popular votes in each subsequent election, he never won any votes in the Electoral College. In both 1904 and 1908, Debs ran with running-mate Ben Hanford. They received 402,810 votes in 1904, for 3.0 percent of the popular vote and an overall third-place finish. In the 1908 election, they received a slightly higher number of votes (420,852) than in their previous run, but at 2.8 percent, a smaller percentage of the total votes cast. In 1912, Debs ran with Milwaukee mayor Emil Seidel as a running mate and received 901,551 votes, which was 6.0 percent of the popular vote, which remains the all-time highest percentage of the vote for a Socialist Party candidate in a U.S. presidential election. Though Debs won no state's electoral votes, in Florida, he came in second behind Wilson and ahead of President William Howard Taft and former President Theodore Roosevelt. Finally, in 1920, running with Seymour Stedman, Debs won 914,191 votes (3.4%), which remains the all-time high number of votes for a Socialist Party candidate in a U.S. presidential election.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who crisscrossed the country last year on a Fighting Oligarchy tour with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., spent over $550,000 in 2025 on private jet travel for himself using campaign funds, a Fox News Digital review of Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings found.
The majority of the spending came in the first two quarters, which cover up until July. That is also when Sanders and AOC had the majority of their tour stops across the country.
In April, between stops on the tour, Fox News Digital exclusively obtained a photo of Sanders boarding a luxury Bombardier Challenger private jet at the Meadows Field Airport in Bakersfield, California. The source also indicated seeing the New York congresswoman boarding the private jet as well.
The pair were subsequently also seen in footage obtained by Fox News Digital exiting the plane in Sacramento later that evening, near where the self-identified democratic socialists hosted a second rally in one day.

It reminds me about one ideologist of this religion

Marx made a trip to Holland where a prosperous uncle generously handed him one hundred and sixty pounds. This was enough to put Marx on his financial feet, pay off his debts and give him a new start. But with money in his pocket, Marx decided to take a tour of Germany. He visited his mother in Treves, preceded to Berlin, undertook a number of drinking excursions with his old friends, had himself photographed and generally played the role of a gentleman of leisure...

Meanwhile

In 1852 his little daughter, Francisca, died. Two years later marked the passing of his young son, Edgar, and two years after that a baby died at birth.

You really shure they care about "workers rights" or so-called "genocide" in Gaza?🤨

And finally, our "beloved" Biden vice president and, fortunately, failed US president – Kamala Harris!

What do we know about his parents?
Harris's 1978 book Capital Accumulation and Income Distribution critiques mainstream economic theories, using mathematical modeling to propose an alternative model for thinking about the effects of capital accumulation on income inequality, economic growth, instability, and other phenomena. He has worked extensively on analysis and policy regarding the economy of Jamaica.

Distribution and inequality - the main tools of typical marxists. In simple words: take away and divide but with the use of abstruse phraseological units, idiomatic expressions, complex mathematical "proofs" and, of course, emotions - without emotions, a marxist is not a marxist.

During the early 1970s, Harris often went with her mother to Chennai, India, where they stayed with her maternal grandfather. She learned to wear traditional Indian dress and speak a few phrases of the Tamil language.
Shyamala was friends with African-American intellectuals and activists in Oakland and Berkeley.

"Enlightenment"! Where would we be without world-famous enlightenment? And definitely in India, preferably in the dirtiest places, so we can be as "enlightened" as possible and then discuss it with the "intellectuals" in San Francisco.


🤣I love this episode!

Unfortunately, South Park isn't what it used to be.

A fierce fighter against "global warming" and the corresponding rise in sea levels recently purchased an $8 million villa right on the shores of this ocean with her husband. It's somewhere here

Kamala, listen to what Bernie Sanders says!

Sanders views global warming as a serious problem, and advocates bold action to reverse its effects. He calls for substantial investment in infrastructure, with energy efficiency, sustainability, and job creation as prominent goals. He considers climate change the greatest threat to national security

What we should to know about her husband?

Emhoff opened his own firm with Ben Whitwell in 2000, which was acquired by Venable LLP in 2006. Emhoff became managing director of Venable's West Coast offices. Among his clients were Walmart, Merck, and Dolarian Capital. Emhoff was one of the lawyers representing Taco Bell's former advertising agency TBWA in a chihuahua-centric case.
Emhoff joined DLA Piper as a partner in 2017, working at its Washington, D.C., and California offices. He earned $1.2 million per year partner. Following the announcement that his wife would be Joe Biden's running mate in the 2020 United States presidential election, Emhoff took a leave of absence from the firm. After the Biden–Harris ticket won, the campaign announced Emhoff would permanently leave DLA Piper before Inauguration Day to avoid conflict of interest concerns.

So, you, a naive leftist fool, are literally protesting against the corporations you "hate", whose interests the former vice president's husband defended. By the way, let's not forget who Biden's vice president was.

She began her law career in the office of the district attorney of Alameda County. Harris was recruited to the San Francisco District Attorney's Office and later to the office of the city attorney of San Francisco. She was elected district attorney of San Francisco in 2003 and attorney general of California in 2010, and reelected as attorney general in 2014.
Harris was the junior U.S. senator from California from 2017 to 2021 after winning the 2016 Senate election.

Something tells me that our acquaintance was not accidental🤔 Kamala and Doug are said to have met on a "blind date" arranged by a mutual friend in 2013. Their union is a perfect symbiosis of power and capital, which is almost automatic in California. At the time, Doug Emhoff was a managing partner at Venable LLP. It represents industry giants before... government regulators.
The wife decides who to punish, while the husband works for the firm that defends those who could be punished. It's not just a conflict of interest; it's a vicious cycle. Even if Doug didn't personally prosecute cases against the state of California, his status as a partner meant he received a percentage of the firm's profits, which profited from "solving problems" with his wife's agency.

Well... maybe enought for now🤔
As a final appetizer without comments

Ana Murguia remembers the day the man she had regarded as a hero called her house and summoned her to see him. She walked along a dirt trail, entered the rundown building, passed his secretary and stepped into his office.
He locked the door, as he always did when he called her, and told her how lonely he had been. He brought her onto the yoga mat that he often used in his office for meditation, kissed her and pulled her pants down. “Don’t tell anyone,” he told her afterward. “They’d get jealous.”
The man, Cesar Chavez, one of the most revered figures in the Latino civil rights movement, was 45. She was 13. Ms. Murguia said she was summoned for sexual encounters with him dozens of times over the next four years.
Recently, more than 50 years later, Ms. Murguia learned that a street near her home in the Central California city of Bakersfield was in the process of being renamed. City officials want to name it in honor of her abuser.
Ms. Murguia and another woman, Debra Rojas, say that Mr. Chavez sexually abused them for years when they were girls, from around 1972 to 1977. He was in his 40s and had become a powerful, charismatic figure who captured global attention as a champion of farmworker rights.
The two women have not shared their stories publicly before, and an investigation by The New York Times has uncovered extensive evidence to support their accusations and those raised by several other women against Mr. Chavez, the United Farm Workers co-founder who died in 1993 at the age of 66.
Between 2014 and 2023, the SPLC secretly funneled more than $3 million in donated funds to individuals who were associated with various violent extremist groups including the Ku Klux Klan, Aryan Nations, and National Socialist Party of America
According to the indictment starting in the 1980s, the SPLC began operating a covert network of individuals who were either associated with violent and extremist groups, such as the Ku Klux Klan, or who had infiltrated violent extremist groups at the SPLC’s direction. Unbeknownst to donors, some of their donated money was being used to fund the leaders and organizers of racist groups at the same time that the SPLC was denouncing the same groups on its website.

I suppose it's not the end🤔
