History's Biggest Lie: “IT’S SOCIALISM, NOT COMMUNISM!”

from Mark Moseley Show · host MARK MOSELEY

This week on Mark Moseley Show: We open with a satirical “sponsor” message from the fictional grocery chain that perfectly captures Zohran Mamdani’s plan for city-owned stores in New York. Moseley breaks down why the scheme is classic loss-leader politics: taxpayers foot the bill, private operators still run the stores, and the public gets the photo-op. From there, the show digs into one of the oldest political tricks in the book — the claim that “It’s socialism, not communism.” Moseley walks through history to show that nearly every communist regime sold its system as “socialism” while building it, and almost never used the word “communism” to describe what people were actually living under. The episode then surveys the current crop of radical Democratic candidates: Mamdani in New York, Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan (and his CAIR-linked donations), the colorful field in Maine, James Talarico in Texas, and Francesca Hong in Wisconsin — the socialist so far-left that even Bernie Sanders won’t endorse her. Plus: A darkly comic “Dear Diary” entry from Anthony Fauci The chaotic street occupation in Madison, Wisconsin after the police shooting of career criminal Corey Ruiz, and the “don’t feed the bears” lesson Doofas of the Week: the burglar who robbed a Verizon store… then flagged down the police himself! And a genuine Good News story about a small-town Santa Claus who gave a very big gift to a stranger
