I bet you think socialist and Marxist plans are being expressed somewhere else. I bet you are wrong.

For years Oregon and California have been passing legislation that takes away your rights, even those you thought were guaranteed in the Constitution.

Willamette Valley Democrats have voted for a super majority of Democrats to control the state and institute leftist policies that elevate socialist and Marxist theories of wealth sharing and state control through laws enacted to promote noble-sounding ideologies of environmentalism, diversity, and wealth sharing. By catering to activists (and being activists themselves) rather than representing their constituents, many Oregonians do not feel like the state is part of the United States of America anymore.

Private property ownership which includes one’s business, land, material goods and financial assets are prohibited from seizure by the government without due process. And yet, Oregon has had its thumb on some industries’ profits through over-regulation and price controls so that owners are working more for the government t than themselves. The business remains in their name, but everything else is under government control. The same thing is happening to our homes, automobiles and everything we believe is our choice of how to live.

Incremental Marxism is no better than overt takeover of private assets.

Here is an excerpt from an article from July 2025. When you hear activists in Oregon demanding free stuff, this is what they are talking about. If you think the “rich” will pay for all the goodies, the rich will leave and/or the rich will run out of money. Only idiots and the ignorant believe that Socialism and Communism will work. Perhaps this map will show why Western, (capitalist) countries are wealthier than socialist and communist ones.

I Bet You Will Believe What Zohran Mamdani Said About Private Property

Socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is once again being haunted by his own words—this time, a resurfaced video shows the far-left New York City mayoral hopeful openly musing about abolishing private property. Yes, really. The same guy running to oversee one of the world’s largest real estate markets thinks private ownership is a problem. It’s yet another reminder that Mamdani isn’t just a radical in theory—he says the quiet part out loud.

The broader implications here go beyond one mayoral race. Mamdani represents the increasingly emboldened socialist wing of the Democratic Party that's no longer bothering to hide its contempt for American institutions.

When politicians start casually discussing the abolition of private property—a concept so fundamental to American liberty that it's enshrined in our Constitution—we're witnessing the normalization of truly radical ideas.
