New York\u00a0Mayor Zohran Mamdani\u2019s\u00a0housing czar is back in the news for a resurfaced podcast episode, where she calls for the tanking of housing markets to usher in a socialist utopia.\n<\/p>\n

Let the IFA community know how to pray for you.<\/h4>\n

\u201cWe decided that fighting for rent control was a strategic and critical first step in the fight for full social housing,\u201d Cea Weaver, Mamdani\u2019s tenant director and long-time member of the Democratic Socialists of America, said in a video posted on X Tuesday. In the old video, as reported\u00a0by the New York Post, she continued to explain how she would transition to a fully socialized property market.\n<\/p>\n

Weaver has faced questions for other previously discovered videos where she, among other things, likened property rights to white supremacy, called for the collectivization of property, and cheered on the election of communists.\n<\/p>\n

When pressed to answer for these past statements, Weaver\u00a0said she regrets them. When she was pressed further about them by reporters,\u00a0she cried about it.\n<\/p>\n

But now more videos are coming out showing that Weaver didn\u2019t just have a moment of injudicious exuberance for Marxism.\n<\/p>\n

Marxism really is at the core of her belief system.\n<\/p>\n

She said in the newly discovered video that \u201cthrough a program like rent control, we are able to directly challenge the logic of unfettered profit in the real estate market.\u201d By directly challenging \u201chousing as a wealth-building tool,\u201d and adding in a fair bit of regulation, Weaver said it was possible to \u201cstrike a blow to the entire real estate industry at once.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not all.\n<\/p>\n

Washington Free Beacon\u2019s Jon Levine\u00a0also reported Tuesday on Weaver\u2019s appearance on a 2021 podcast \u201cBad Faith,\u201d hosted by former Sen. Benie Sanders, I-Vt., and press secretary Briahna Joy Gray.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cWhite, middle-class homeowners are a huge problem for a renter justice movement,\u201d Weaver said.\n<\/p>\n

Weaver bemoaned the challenge faced by those who want to socialize property ownership.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cUnless we can undermine the institution of homeownership and seek to provide stability in other ways, I don\u2019t know\u2014it\u2019s a really difficult organizing situation we find ourselves in,\u201d she said.\n<\/p>\n

I\u2019m somewhat relieved that the \u201crenter justice movement\u201d faces a few roadblocks.\n<\/p>\n

Later in the podcast episode, as Levine reported, Weaver explained her plan to go after landlords.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need a national movement to pass universal rent control to limit landlords\u2019 ability to endlessly profit on our homes, to give tenants the right to form a tenants\u2019 union where they live, and to really block evictions,\u201d she said. \u201cBut rent control is not enough: People need money. We need to tax billionaires and transform that into cash assistance for renters. And we need to chip away at homeownership, and that means\u2014that means Medicare for All, that means, like, a deep investment in real social service programs.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

The leftist housing czar also said that landlords don\u2019t really have a legitimate claim to property and mocked them for not wanting to let people stay in their rental housing for free.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, if you p*** off your landlord, you could be forced out, and something that really p***** off your landlord is not paying rent for a year and a half because you can\u2019t,\u201d she said. \u201cLandlords really don\u2019t like the idea that a tenant could live, that a tenant could be able and allowed to stay in something that they consider themselves to own.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

What strikes me now that Weaver\u2019s ideas are being exposed is how boilerplate it all is. She\u2019s\u00a0been touted as this brilliant, \u201cnationally recognized\u201d housing policy wonk with maybe an unfortunate knack for speaking incautiously.\n<\/p>\n

But what I\u2019ve heard from Weaver seems to be little more than bog-standard leftist claptrap that\u2019s been around since the time of Marx with a healthy dose of anti-white racialism to spice it up.\n<\/p>\n

Weaver means to tax billionaires and seize property from the (mostly white) Kulaks to give it to the oppressed masses. Then all your dreams will come true. How original.\n<\/p>\n

Mamdani, it must be noted, hasn\u2019t\u00a0budged from his support for Weaver. This makes sense. She\u2019s a socialist, or really a Marxist, who wants to go after the \u201crich,\u201d white middle class. That doesn\u2019t seem all that different from statements\u00a0Mamdani has made in the past.\n<\/p>\n

Sure, Mamdani moderated his rhetoric a bit during the campaign, but he also\u00a0defiantly stood by his socialist views\u00a0in his inaugural address.\n<\/p>\n

Mamdani and his administration are what we thought they were.\n<\/p>\n

That doesn\u2019t mean his administration will be all mistakes and disasters, but it does mean that every big decision he and his staff make is likely in service of their ultimate goals, laid out more frankly outside of campaign season.\n<\/p>\n

Can the financial capital of the United States weather the socialist storm? Is New York City too big to fail? Is \u201ctrue communism\u201d really going to work this time? We shall see.\n<\/p>\n
