The Mamdani Act would amend existing immigration law to prohibit the admission and naturalization of any noncitizen who is or was a member of, affiliated with, or advocates for a Chinese communist, communist, socialist, Islamic fundamentalist or other totalitarian party—or any organization that advocates those ideologies. Under its deportation provisions, a noncitizen already in the United States could be removed if they engage in advocacy for socialism, communism, Marxism or Islamic fundamentalism, distribute or publish material promoting those ideologies or hold membership in affiliated organizations at any point after admission.
You know he is a much needed anti-toxin, especially when they name a bill after him. Let the healing begin.
Isn’t socialism and communism the opposite of totalitarianism- more or less? So basically “we’re going to reject anyone who can’t think like a Capitalist and give them all your money, cuz they definitely deserve it”…
throws down newspaper “That’s it! I’m running for president!” I’m going to campaign on the mentality of FOSS and advocate for privacy, not big brother and capitalism. I just can’t listen to this ludicrous bs anymore.
Yeah, if it went as Marx predicted, and socialism emerged from the contradictions in mature capitalist societies. That has partially happened in a few places on the Nordic tier. But human nature being what it is, some self-described communist parties have instead been totalitarian state-capitalist entitties with strong nationalist features. That applies to the two empires that attempted to leap-frog from feudalism to socialism without an intervening capitalist stage: Russia and China. Both instead recreated the industrial revolution at gunpoint, with no worker control of the means of production. Post-Gorbachev, Russia has abandoned the pretense of socialism entirely and is now a kleptocractic plutocracy. China has doubled down on a form of mercantilist state capitalism. Both retain imperialist tendencies and oppress minority ethnicities within their borders.
Xi, Putin, and Stalin would like a word.
You can “that’s not real communism” all you like but it’s a common outcome.
Putin doesn’t even call himself a communist wtf lmao?
None of them were communist at all. You not knowing what the word means isn’t other people’s problem.
