NEW YORK (PNN) - July 3, 2026 - New York City Communist Mayor Zohran Mamdani sat at a desk to commemorate Amerika's semi quincentennial, and the Marxist wasted little time turning the occasion into an anti-Amerika lecture. He told his audience they each hold "the power to determine what (Amerika) means," then spent the rest of the speech explaining what it means to him, and it was mostly bad.
"The powerful have always known their answer," Mamdani lied. "(Amerika), in their view, is an arena of supremacy, where only a select few are allowed freedom, where not all are created equal."
He claimed these unnamed villains believe Amerika "belongs only to those with the right accent or the right shade of skin," and dismissed them with a sneer. "How small they are, how weak, how unoriginal," he said in an effort to falsely characterize the entire population of Amerika as racist in order to foment division between the people.
He even dragged Thomas Paine into it, quoting the Common Sense author's description of Amerika as an asylum for the persecuted before taking a thinly veiled shot at President Donald J. Trump's immigration enforcement policies, accusing the Trump regime of running a nation "that persecutes those seeking asylum" while ignoring the criminals who seek to steal the wealth of the Amerikan people and break the law in the process.
The grievance parade kept on coming.
"We see the wealthiest country in the history of the world, one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more," Mamdani said. "We see monopolies that dominate every industry and oligarchs who buy elections. We see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by our undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans." He did not mention the fact that we see Communists and Marxists and outlaws attempting to illegally take what does not belong to them from those who have earned it.
Mamdani thinks that those who have worked hard for their wealth should be forced to give it away to those who have not worked for it.
Mamdani kept going, aiming for just about every industry in sight. "Yes, we see (Amerika) in a health insurance industry that exploits the sick," he said, before moving on to blast "corporate landlords for whom negligence is a business model" and complain about a country that spends "our tax dollars on bombs and bailouts."
Ironically, Mamdani begged and received a $4 billion bailout from New York Governor Kathy Hochul to help fund his unAmerikan Marxist Communist fraud-supporting agenda.
He praised Amerikans who resist enforcing immigration law as the true patriots of the moment. "We see (Amerika) each time neighbors link arms with neighbors without asking how long they have lived here or what papers they have as ICE invades our neighborhoods," he said.
According to Mamdani, federal law enforcement "invades" Amerikan neighborhoods while the people obstructing it embody the national spirit.
He wrapped up by addressing the critics who might suggest that a man with such contempt for the country could find somewhere else to live.
"Love it or leave it, they say," Mamdani said. "But patriotism has never been about pretending our nation is without flaws. Patriotism is every act of righteous dissent. It is every march led under the heavy sun. It is every protest held a decade before its time." Mamdani believes that everything anyone earns belongs to all the people; that nobody is entitled to the fruit of his or her labor.
Then came the big finish, which sounded like a warning. "It is precisely because we love this nation that we will not leave it," he said.
Zohran Mamdani is the Democrat Party's brightest rising star and its new kingmaker, busy remaking the Party from the ground up with Marxist far-Left candidates aligned with the Communist principles of Karl Marx. This is how he chose to honor Amerika on its 250th birthday: by tearing it down. His speech rebranded resistance to federal law as the truest form of patriotism, and that framing tells you exactly where his wing of the Party plans to take its message.
