“Hitler was a fascist, not a socialist” is about as enlightening as saying he was a Yankee, not a baseball player.
The interesting question is what fascism actually did: subordinated private property, business, investment, labor, prices, and production to state objectives while often leaving nominal private ownership intact.
Hitler persecuting Marxists no more proves he supported capitalism than Stalin persecuting rival communists proves he opposed communism. Different factions of collectivism murdering each other doesn’t magically make one of them an advocate of individual liberty and free markets.
This guy is going to spend the next three months telling Michiganders that he's running to make their lives more affordable, but what he really wants to do is import a zillion more foreigners so they can build a Learing Center near you.
MICHIGAN UPDATE: Our team has been deep in the records, cross-checking what we documented firsthand in Detroit and tightening every detail. It’s a complex story, and we’re taking the extra time to get it right.
Burning the midnight oil. Full report tomorrow. Stay tuned.
If you’re a Republican that chose to vote for El-Sayed in the Democrat primaries thinking it would be the easier path for Mike, you better have your ass out there registering voters, knocking doors, and making everyone aware of the importance of voting this November.
🚨 JUST IN: Sen. John Fetterman RIPS Bernie Sanders and the communists after Abdul El Sayed's primary win puts Michigan Senate in play for Republicans
"I have a REAL problem with people that are proud to campaign people who love Hamas or love communists regime and policies! Objectively, as a Democrat in the Senate, that puts that seat in DANGER!"
"Now people like Sanders, after what he did in Maine with Platner, it's creating more CHAOS."
"It's like — will you own the blowback? In making it much more difficult to defend this seat?"
A few very obvious points on Mamdani's grocery stores:
1. The supply of the discounted groceries will run out on day 1, and every day there is a new shipment. This is basic econ 101.
2. This means only the people who are lucky enough or fast enough will get these discounted groceries. Expect to see the city ration these groceries in some other way. By income, or neighborhood or some lottery system.
3. Grocery margins are notoriously low as it is (like 2-3%). These stores will lose a bunch of money selling 30% below market, or they'll sell so little it will be insignificant.
4. There is absolutely zero chance that government bureaucrats can source these products from global supply chains as efficiently as Walmart, or Meier, or Whole Foods, whose survival depends on it. Their costs will be far higher (unless they use government bludgeon to force distributors to sell to them at lower prices).
5. It's actually an incredible triumph of capitalism that you can get a pound of bananas that were shipped to your neighborhood from Equador for like 60 cents, or fresh grapes from Chile in the dead of Midwestern winter for 2 bucks a pound, and Norwegian salmon to cook in Italian olive oil for $15 -20 bucks or so. Truly stop and think about that for a minute. It's a miracle.
The median full time hourly wage is around $31 dollars. For ONE HOUR of work, the median working American can get all of the groceries listed below, which is about 22,000 calories. They can feed themselves for 10 days (or a family of 4 for around 2 and a half days), with an hour of labor.
This is the stupidest industry for socialists to go after.
This is 2026. People cosplaying as things they don’t have the authority, the talent, or the track record to actually be. Just for content.
A mayor playing president. A founder playing operator. A content creator playing one-on-one thinking he’s a pro. A 25yr old with a ring light playing economist. Everyone auditioning. Nobody building.
Were raising a generation that learning the reward isn’t in doing the thing it’s in looking like you did the thing. The clip is the career. The pose is the product. The soundbite is the substitute for a life’s work.
Don't fall for distractions
