A man from Romania heard Zohran Mamdani’s inauguration speech in New York City and has a warning for America
He says Zohran Mamdani used the EXACT SAME words they heard before socialism crushed their country
“We will replace the fragility of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism. Famous words spoken by every communist in history.
Hi, my name is Bogdan and this is exactly how communism came to power in my country, Romania, via collectivism.
First, they confiscated private land. Then they used terror to enforce collectivism.
The regular Romanian citizens were arrested, beat up, humiliated publicly, left to rot in prison, and some even executed.
The next step for collectivism was destroying the independent farmer class.
These people were a threat to the regime because they were able to stay self-sufficient and did not rely on the state. Independence was, and still is, the biggest threat to communism. They made it in such a way that owning more than others was a crime.
Once all that happened, the communists started confiscating the food from farmers, leaving families to die.
They also confiscated the livestock raised by people. This resulted in famine, malnutrition, and the collapse of productivity.
Romania literally went from being the number one exporter of grain in Europe to chronic shortages of food. But that wasn't enough.
The communists then banned free market. No free sale of crops, no private trades, no bargaining, classic socialist failure. But collectivism wasn't just economic. It was cultural as well. In Romania, they attacked the church and religious people.
They replaced family authority with party authority, all with one goal in mind: replace faith and family with the state.
15 years later, the communists declared victory. 90% of all farmland in Romania was collectivized. Bottom line, Romanian collectivism was forced, violent, economically disastrous, morally corrupt, and designed to control, not help.
Only for today in the United States of America to be in New York City. I swear to God, some Americans are the dumbest morons on the planet.”
