American Communism Must Be Eradicated

 After the 2024 election, there was a vast right-wing clamoring for an inevitable realignment favoring conservatives.  Political gravity would force the pendulum of political history to the right, the liberal media would be shamed into something resembling unbiased fairness, and woke policies would shrivel and die on the vine.  The results of the November 4 elections make it clear that the demise of the progressive-liberal nexus is greatly exaggerated.

Democrats, socialists, and liberals of all stripes enjoyed good election results, but it would be a mistake to read this as anything more than a normal off-year election.  Since 2000, the party that won the presidential election the previous year lost the gubernatorial election in Virginia and New Jersey.  The only exception is the 2021 New Jersey gubernatorial election, which the Democrat incumbent won after Biden’s victory.

There is evidence of a political realignment, but the realignment favors the far left.

Gallup has been taking an interesting poll since 2010 that evaluates Americans’ perception of capitalism and socialism.  A positive perception of capitalism among Americans has slipped 7% since 2010 from 61% to 54% while a positive perception of socialism has improved slightly from 36% to 39%.  If you look deeper into the poll, you can see evidence of a realignment within the Democrat party.   

	Americans		Republicans		Independents		Democrats
	C	S	C	S	C	S	C	S
2010	61%	36%	71%	19%	61%	36%	51%	50%
2012	61%	39%	72%	24%	60%	36%	55%	51%
2016	60%	35%	67%	10%	61%	34%	54%	60%
2018	56%	37%	71%	15%	53%	39%	50%	57%
2019	60%	39%	78%	9%	57%	41%	52%	65%
2021	60%	38%	72%	10%	59%	40%	50%	65%
2025	54%	39%	74%	14%	51%	38%	42%	66%

Table clarifications:

C = positive view of capitalism 

S = positive view of socialism

In 2010, Democrats were evenly split, 51-50%, in their perception of both systems.  In 2025, 66% of Democrats liked socialism, up 16% from 2010, whereas 42% viewed capitalism positively, down 9%.  This isn’t shocking news in view of Zohran Mamdani as mayor of New York City. 

The socialist realignment of the Democrat party has reached critical mass.  Mr. Mamdani represents this realignment.  He stands shoulder to shoulder with Bernie Sanders, AOC, and other socialists in Congress and scattered around various states.  From the Progressive Era, the New Deal, the Great Society, the War on Poverty, and Obamacare until today, Democrats have enacted socialist policies.  It is self-evident that the Democrat party is an organ of socialism in America.

One of the biggest scams in American history is the notion perpetrated by Democrats that they are capitalists to their bones with warm, compassionate hearts.  Now they must figure out how to navigate the roiling political waters of the storm they created.  If they continue the pretense of supporting capitalism, they will alienate the socialist base of their party and draw a primary opponent.  Hakeem Jefferies, the minority leader of the House may face a primary challenge.  Minority leader of the Senate Chuck Shumer has feared a primary challenge from AOC for months.

Bernie Sanders likely would have won the Democrat nomination for president in 2016 and 2020 had he not been cheated by the DNC.  Democrats were hesitant to nominate a candidate who wouldn’t pretend to be a capitalist.  It simply wasn’t done in polite Democrat circles.  They did, however, ask Bernie to help write the Democrat Platform in 2020, which helps explain the socialist leanings of the Biden administration.  Democrats have long kissed the ring of socialism behind closed doors.  Socialists have become much more visible and will soon be the voice of the Democrat party.
