Marxist Moonbattery From Pope Leo

Francis is gone, yet it looks like Catholics still have a socialist pope. Leo does not like it that Elon Musk gets to keep so much of the wealth he created:

Pope Leo XIV is no fan of the Tesla board’s plan to possibly make CEO Elon Musk the world’s first trillionaire.

Leo, who recently became the first ever American-born pontiff, told the Catholic news site Crux that Musk’s proposed pay package was emblematic of the loss of “the value of human life, of the family, of the value of society.”

His rhetoric is straight out of The Communist Manifesto:

Leo argued that Musk’s pay was just one illustration of “the continuously wider gap between the income levels of the working class and the money that the wealthiest receive.”

People should be paid the same, regardless of what rare talents they display, how hard they work, what innovations the create, what risks they take, how many people they provide with jobs, et cetera. Then we could be like the USSR.

Leo should focus on keeping his own rather opulent house in order rather than scolding America for its economic freedom. He has not been doing such a hot job.

New School Offers Course on How to Steal

At last, an overpriced elitist institution is teaching skills that could generate income for those who graduate with useless liberal arts degrees:

At the New School in Manhattan, a four-year private university where the $60,240 tuition doesn’t cover housing, students at the university’s Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts can learn “How to Steal.”

Shoplifting is a burgeoning industry in New York, where it is effectively legal even prior to Zohran Mamdani taking power on a decriminalize crime platform.

But wait, there is nothing in the course that even a shoplifter would find useful — just more liberal BS, exploring the “politics, ethics, and aesthetics of theft”:

The course catalog proudly declares that the class is a look at “radical ethics” and asks: “Is it possible to steal back what was already stolen?”

According to the ideology that prevails in academia, property is theft.

Speaking of theft,

It’s a four-credit course, meaning this class alone will cost students — or their parents — an eye-watering $10,040.

You can see why Democrats want the rest of us to be forced to pay off student loans.

More than half of Zoomer graduates view their degree as a waste of money, per a March Indeed survey.

But at least college helps put off adulthood, with all its tedious responsibilities.

Minneapolis and the Red–Green Axis

This is what a political rally looks like nowadays in fundamentally transformed Minneapolis:

The rally was for the bug-eyed, lightbulb-headed, Caucasian-hating Islamocommie Omar Fateh, who regards Somalia as home but wants to be mayor of Minneapolis.

Want more? Here you go:

RAIR Foundation reports:

For nearly twenty minutes, a burqa-clad woman shrieked Omar Fateh’s name into a microphone, surrounded by a crowd chanting in Somali and Arabic. The rally was punctuated with bursts of applause, shouts of “Insha’Allah” (“God willing”), and invocations of Imam Shafi‘i — the 8th-century Islamic jurist whose rulings still guide Somali religious law today.

Assimilation has been out of the question for some time now. This is foreign conquest, brought about by progressives to give them the demographic leverage to impose their agenda.

Fateh’s platform:

Freeze rent and cancel rent, mortgages, and utilities.
$20 minimum wage and free public transit.
Abolish cooperation with ICE, even for violent criminal aliens.
Single-payer healthcare and abolish fossil fuels.
Sanctuary city policies for abortion and “gender transitions.”
Local income tax hikes that hit the middle class hardest.

The economic and societal consequences that would result are obvious. Fateh and his supporters want to reduce Minneapolis to a moonbat version of Mogadishu.

His support goes beyond Somali welfare colonists. It includes Democratic Socialists of America, Communist Party USA, the SEIU (which was instrumental in bringing Barack Obama to power), the Sunrise Movement, and Bernie Sanders’s Our Revolution.

Like NYC’s Zohran Mamdani, Fateh personifies the alliance of two malevolent ideologies sworn to our destruction. It is known as the Red–Green Axis, after the colors associated with Marxism and Islam.

The more Muslims their liberal allies can import, the more threatening this alliance will become.

Lavrov’s Shirt Is Not a Good Sign

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov arrived in Alaska today for talks between Trump and Putin on Ukraine wearing a shirt emblazoned with the Cyrillic letters for USSR:

Americans don’t come out of school knowing it, but the USSR was among the most evil regimes ever to exist. It killed tens of millions of its own subjects and enslaved the rest. Horrific communist regimes likely would not have taken power in China, Korea, Vietnam, and Cambodia if not for the USSR — leave alone the satellite states of Eastern Europe. Preventing further Soviet encroachment on the rest of the world required risking nuclear Armageddon.

If the Russia government means well, it will make sure the rest of the world knows it is leaving its nightmarish communist past behind. But former KGB Lieutenant Colonel Vladimir Putin, who has called the blessed collapse of the Soviet Union “the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century,” is not leaving it behind. A monument to bloodthirsty tyrant Joseph Stalin was unveiled in Moscow earlier this year.

Ukraine was part of the USSR. Lavrov’s choice of shirt was no accident. At least Trump knows what he’s dealing with. The Cold War is not over.

Socialist Sun Fresh Grocery Store Goes Under

To the surprise of no informed or intelligent person, Kansas City’s socialist Sun Fresh grocery store has gone under:

The city purchased the Linwood Shopping Center where Sun Fresh is in 2016 and opened the grocery store in 2018 in an effort to provide more options for residents in the area. Kansas City spent more than $17 million in taxpayer money acquiring and renovating the Sun Fresh market.

Despite its efforts, Sun Fresh has been plagued with empty shelves and crime, leading employees to reportedly carry tasers. Last year, the Kansas City Council approved spending $750,000 in emergency city funding in an attempt to keep the store open.

Socialism is a black hole down which an infinite amount of other people’s money can be poured to no avail.

Meanwhile, in New York City:

In a TikTok video, [socialist mayoral candidate Zohran] Mamdani said that his city-run grocery stores will “operate without a profit motive,” instead of focusing on “price gouging” as he alleged some private stores do. He claimed that without having to pay rent or property taxes, these city-run stores would buy and sell at wholesale prices, centralize warehousing and distribution and be able to offer New York residents lower prices than privately-owned stores in the city.

Socialist grocery stores will not work in New York any better than in Kansas City. But maybe if Democrats seize power at the national level and force all the other stores out of business, this will turn out better than it did in the USSR.

Fidel Castro, Moderate Democrat

Despite having advocated the abolition of private property, Zohran Mamdani says he’s not a communist. He calls himself a democratic socialist. Along similar lines, the Marxist dictator who destroyed formerly wealthy Cuba was not a communist; he just wanted “social justice” too:

Note that Castro sounds more moderate than Mamdani, even though he achieved power by violence rather than by getting white liberals to vote for him.

Watch Zohran Mamdani Call for Abolition of Property

Ted Cruz is correct that the Democrat candidate for mayor of New York is a communist — in the full Marxist-Leninist sense of the term. Watch as Zohran Mamdani advocates abolishing the fundamental right of property:

When Mamdani says, “faced with these two options,” he is referring to freedom and slavery.

The communist struggle to subjugate American did not end when the USSR collapsed; it only moved closer to home. But look at the bright side; if communists succeed in taking our freedom and reducing us to impoverished government slaves, it will be in the name of politically sacred derelicts.
