New York City's new Marxist mayor, Zohran Mamdani, has appointed Cea Weaver as his new tenant tsar. Weaver believes, as she has publicly confessed, that private property, especially individual homeownership, "is a weapon of white supremacy masquerading as wealth building public policy." For this reason, Weaver has vowed to transition property from an individual good to a collective good and shared equity. In other words, Weaver is advocating to turn the Big Apple into a full-blown communist city. While this would have been unimaginable in yesterday's America, it's a realty in American today, where more than a million New Yorkers have just voted for it and over 60% of all Democrats are in favor of it.

Our Founding Fathers, who believed that private property was fundamental to freedom, as well as essential to social stability and individual security, must be turning over in their graves. In case you don't believe me, permit me to prove it to you in our Founding Fathers' own words.

"Freedom and property rights are inseparable. You can't have one without the other." (George Washington) 

"By nature's law, every man has a right to seize and retake by force his own property taken from him by another, by force or by fraud." (Thomas Jefferson)

"All men have certain inherent natural rights of which they cannot, by any compact, deprive or divest their posterity, among which are the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety." (Thomas Jefferson)

"The rights of persons, and the rights of property, are the objects, for the protection of which government was instituted." (James Madison)

"A government is instituted to protect property of every sort...this being the end of government, that alone is a just government, which impartially secures to every man, whatever is his own." (James Madison)

"Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: First, a right to life, secondly to liberty, and thirdly to property; together with a right to defend them in the best manner they can." (Samuel Adams)  

"Know then that we consider ourselves, and do insist, that we are and ought to be as free as our fellow-subjects in Britain, and that no power on earth has a right to take our property from us without our consent." (John Jay) 

Adding their voices to those of our Founding Fathers are a couple of other distinguished Americans. First, the late Walter Lippmann, who once said: "Private property was the original source of freedom. It still is its main bulwark." Second, the late Milton Friedman, who was not only one of our country's foremost economists, but also one of its most famous. According to Friedman: "Nobody spends somebody else's money as carefully as he spends his own. Nobody uses somebody else's resources as carefully as he uses his own. So if you want efficiency and effectiveness, if you want knowledge to be properly utilized, you have to do it through the means of private property." 

What's now happening in New York City and in today's Democratic Party is not only a refutation of our Founding Fathers, men like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison, as well as a refutation of our most famous columnists and economists, men like Walter Lippmann and Milton Friedman, but it is also a replacing of them all with the "Fathers of Communism, men like Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin, and Joseph Stalin. While this frightening fact ought to have everyone of us sweating blood, it's hardly raising an eyebrow among today's gimme gimme Americans.
