All of them are fucking awesome! Sign me up!

How the fuck is a higher minimum wage anything but our current system?

I’m not convinced it’s not satire

Welfare is not equal to handing over the means of production to the working class. So what mamdani is doing is not socialist.

Lol

This is why they figured out in Lakota culture many years ago that it's not safe to use sarcasm in your language. Some people might not get it and that makes them feel left out. Others may think dumb things are true so it can only make your whole culture dumber and unable to know what is true or misinformation. The entire sarcastic subtype of comedy is basically just not done, condoned, or laughed at which I think it's pretty awesome

This so-called "fear mongering" isn't directed to the broad US population, it is targeting the preexisting bias of lowest common denominator target audience of the right.

I don't agree with freezing rent.

The entire concept of rent needs to die in a goddamn fire. Legislation needs to kill the entire idea, not further legitimize it.

We need massive, punitive increases in residential property taxes, with commensurate owner-occupant exemptions: You will not see a tax increase on the property you live in, but any investment property you own is going to see you saddled with a huge tax bill. This might come as a shock, but Corporate landlords don't occupy their properties. They are not able to claim the owner occupant credit.

But, if you own a second property and lease it to me, we can convert our arrangement from a rental to a "land contract". I, the occupant, become the legal owner. I continue to make payments. You don't get to increase those payments over time; they are fixed for the duration of the agreement. If I leave in the first three years, you retain 100% equity in the property. If I stay beyond three years, our agreement converts to a mortgage, and I start gaining equity.

Basically, the only properties that will still be able to be feasibly rented are the remaining units in duplexes, triplexes, and quadplexes, where the landlord lives in one of the units.

That still sounds extraordinarily capitalist to me. By calling it Communism, they're diluting the massive policy failure of actual Marxism, which is more akin to "let's all take up arms and pillage every home, rich or poor".

This is more like "let's all kill the dragon who ate our children and stole our gold".

God forbid someone tries to increase the quality of life for people

And he doesn't even have the conviction to make the communism fully automated, nor luxury, nor gay. What a disgrace!

I propose a new rule: if you're American and wealthy, you don't get to talk about communism. At all.

I might make an exception for wealthy Americans with an education in politics or economics, or both.

I know the dude is probably way more anti-Castro than I am but damn, "Tax hikes = Straight up communism"

Bro, STFU you don't know shit about shit. YOU go try to live in NYC on $60,000 a year. Dick. Stay in Miami you fucker.
