A large part of Communist philosophy is seizing the means of production.

Grab the popcorn and watch the NY shitshow over the next few years.

Capitalism is defined as private ownership and control over the means of production, where the surplus product becomes a source of unearned income for its owners. Under this system, profit-seeking individuals or organizations undertake a majority of economic activities.
What's the definition of communism?
What's the definition of socialism?

@realDonaldTrump
People that are against Tariffs are FOOLS! We are now the Richest, Most Respected Country In the World, With Almost No Inflation, and A Record Stock Market Price. 401k’s are Highest EVER. We are taking in Trillions of Dollars and will soon begin paying down our ENORMOUS DEBT, $37 Trillion. Record Investment in the USA, plants and factories going up all over the place. A dividend of at least $2000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone

Opinion | Zohran Mamdani drops the mask
The mayor-elect divides New Yorkers into two groups: the oppressed and their oppressors.
(https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-apps/imrs.php?src=https://arc-anglerfish-washpost-prod-washpost.s3.amazonaws.com/public/FFOBZS4MHEAZMZO35QPKL7BS44.JPG&w=1440&impolicy=high_res)
A new era of class warfare has begun in New York, and no one is more excited than Generalissimo Zohran Mamdani. Witness the mayor-elect’s change of character since his Tuesday election victory.
Mamdani ran an upbeat campaign, with a nice-guy demeanor and perpetual smile papering over a long history of divisive and demagogic statements. New Yorkers periodically checking in on politics could understandably believe that he simply wanted to bring the city together and make it more affordable. That interpretation became much harder after his victory speech.
Across 23 angry minutes laced with identity politics and seething with resentment, Mamdani abandoned his cool disposition and made clear that his view of politics isn’t about unity. It isn’t about letting people build better lives for themselves. It is about identifying class enemies — from landlords who take advantage of tenants to “the bosses” who exploit workers — and then crushing them. His goal is not to increase wealth but to dole it out to favored groups. The word “growth” didn’t appear in the speech, but President Donald Trump garnered eight mentions.
People’s lives, in Mamdani’s world, can be improved only by government: “We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve, and no concern too small for it to care about.” The crowd cheered, of course, but a thinking person might wonder whether it’s good for the institution that has a monopoly on violence to insist that nothing is beyond its purview.
Such crass appeals have real support in New York, where overpriced housing is a real problem. But it’s important to recognize that high rents are a function of too much government rather than too little. Temporary relief because of the rent freeze he promised for 2 million housing units will inevitably lead to less investment, driving up costs in the long run.
In the days since winning, Mamdani’s favorite word has become “mandate.” He won decisively and now wants to pursue his agenda, from the rent freeze to “free” child care and buses. Yet as mayor of New York, his control over taxes and transportation is limited. He needs approval from the state to raise taxes. His transition team includes several New York political insiders who understand how to pull the levers of power, as well as diehard ideologues such as Lina Khan, the former Federal Trade Commission chair.
Mamdani was the first New York mayoral candidate to garner more than 1 million votes since John Lindsay in 1969. One reason he will be so constrained is that Lindsay’s mayoralty was such a disaster for the city’s finances that the state imposed these financial controls to make sure it wouldn’t happen again.
More interesting will be how Mamdani interprets class struggle in the context of law enforcement and public education, where his powers are more sweeping. He says he wants to keep Police Commissioner Jessica S. Tisch, who is respected by officers and competent at fighting crime. Will he give her deference? Will he order that prostitution laws stop being enforced, as he has suggested? Will subway stations become dangerous social experiments where vagrants are welcomed in to receive services?
On schools, Mamdani has done nothing to suggest he’ll take the side of children over union bosses when their interests conflict. New York schools make it too difficult to discipline misbehaving kids, which makes classrooms less safe and hurts everyone. Mamdani has also said he wants to phase out gifted-and-talented programs for elementary students.
Exit polls showed that the New Yorkers most skeptical of these utopian promises are those who were born in the city and don’t have college degrees. Mamdani fared best among newcomers and people with advanced degrees. Apparently, living in New York for decades — and witnessing what does and doesn’t work when it comes to running a city — offers more wisdom than grad school.

The New York Times reports that the Trump administration’s habit of buying ownership shares in companies it likes now involves $10 billion in taxpayer funds and “shows little sign of slowing.”

Government ownership of the means of production turns out to be good, but socialism is still bad ?

Like the Nebraska farmers that voted for the Orange Turd?
I assume since you did as well you are sending money to help with their dire needs.

Sorry, all my money is going to the illegal homeless drug addicts that our democrat run state invited here.

This is very generous of you. Who knew you cared this much about homeless drug addicts?

Dealer? Weed is legal in CA, stupid fuck.

You forgot that part. ::)

You are correct, I did forget to include that part. Does this mean you are only concerned about 'illegal' homeless drug attics and you are fine with those folks who are legal?

What is a Drug attics ? Is that where druggies hide out to do there drugs
or is this a portland slang term ?

"What is a drug attics?" I am confused, is this question plural or singular?
You wrote, "...to do there drugs... ?" Did you mean the adverb ‘there’, as in a place, or did you mean the possesive adjective their? When you wrote the question “…a portland slang term…? Did you mean the generic adjective as in portland cement or the proper nound Portland (as in Portland, OR)?
A little clarity might help me determine what you are trying to ask and then I may be better able to answer your two questions.

I like to use a bit of local slang to keep your brain semi Cognitive

Yes, only illegal homeless drug addict lives matter. (In my best lispy, effeminate, democrat voice)
Wait I'm not a democrat, fuck those guys.

Great impersonation. I like it. It suits you. ;D
BTW, I too have no time for drug addicts, homeless or otherwise. I have sympathy for the people impacted by them.

You make me LOL! Your use of questionable slang seems like a weak excuse to me. But anything to keep my cognitive functions at an appropriately healthy level for my age is welcome.
Now, if I could just figure out where I left my keys, what my good friends’ names are, what was I saying, and why I find myself standing in the kitchen at this moment.
At eighty-one and counting, my long-term memory is thriving, but I am not looking forward to further absent mindedness, and forgetfulness. ;)

Apparently you have plenty of time for illegals as you keep forgetting to include them in your responses. >:(

You are right, I did not include illegals in my response because that response was about how I feel about drug addicts. Previous posts already defined drug addicts as both legal and illegal. In your early post you specified illegal drug addicts.
