There is a reason history matters.
Lenin didn’t take over Russia overnight. He first took over his party.
He energized young activists. He attacked moderates in his own movement as sellouts. He demanded ideological purity. He promised free everything, demonized business, divided society into oppressors and oppressed, and insisted the existing system was beyond reform, it had to be fundamentally transformed.
Sound familiar?
Today, @ZohranKMamdani and the @DemSocialists aren’t trying to win over the Democratic Party, they’re trying to replace it. Primary by primary, incumbent by incumbent, they’re pulling the party further toward government control, wealth redistribution, and anti-capitalist policies.
History doesn’t repeat itself exactly, but it often rhymes.
Every New Yorker who believes in free enterprise, public safety, fiscal responsibility, and the American Dream should be paying attention.
Political movements don’t transform institutions overnight. They do it one election at a time.
