For those in other countries, American politics is a chaotic state of affairs at present, to say the least. A deepening chasm in political ideologies, cultural shifts, and there appears to be no end in sight. There was a time, not so long ago, that we all considered ourselves 'Americans', indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Immigration was hardly a topic of conversation. Ever. Not only has it become a common topic of conversation, it has become a national mess. As far as differing political ideology, there is a cohort in America, evidently quite a large one, who believes that illegal aliens are due all the rights and privileges of American citizens. They often include criminal illegal aliens when it comes to legal protection. Mind-boggling, but here we are.
Our political leftists are known for some wacky, unfounded and weird behaviors. The recent election of the Democratic Socialist Zohran Mumdani as mayor of New York City has brought some of the wildest and depraved leftist behavior the world has seen since Robert Mugabe governed Zimbabwe beginning in 1980. Best described as a Marxist/Socialist, Mugabe hated the country's once-ruling white minority. In his view of justice and reform, he authorized the seizure of white farms without government compensation.
Mumdani's appointment of Cea Weaver as Director of the Mayor's Office to Protect Tenants has put on display behavior that mimics that of Robert Mugabe. My posts typically aren't that long, and intentionally so. But I could write an extensive missive describing the failures of Mugabe's misdeeds. While Weaver is promulgating a vision wherein "families, especially white families, are going to have a different relationship to property than the one we currently have." Mugabe established that same different relationship as well, mainly being deprived of it. Weaver is enthusiastic about finding ways to shrink the value of real estate. Mugabe did it as well. From 2000 to 2001, commercial farmland lost about three quarters of its value.
Summarily, Mugabe's transgressions resulted in the total collapse of Zimbabwe's economy, and hyperinflation that peaked at 79.6 billion percent. At this point, the daily inflation rate averaged 98 percent, meaning that inflation effectively doubled every 24 hours.
The socio-economic consequences of private property expropriation were extensive and beyond damaging. It is also beyond disturbing that Cea Weaver's ideology and worldview so starkly resembles that of some of the most putrid and destructive people on earth.
