_WHAT’S HAPPENING_
The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is promoting a policy platform that would cost between $71 trillion and $212 trillion over the next decade.
Yet as recent revelations expose, the organization's most prominent members are bankrolled by wealthy parents while railing against property ownership and capitalism.
_THE FACTS_
DSA NYC co-chair Gustavo Gordillo lives in a $1.5 million Brooklyn row home his parents bought through a dummy corporation.
Gordillo's parents own a $3.1 million home in Boca Raton and another $3 million property in Florida.
The Yale graduate has called for land redistribution "from landowners to the landless" while benefiting from his family's real estate holdings.
NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) opposes Airbnb while his wealthy parents have listed their Ugandan compound on the platform for eight years.
The Mamdani family estate features a 15-meter lap pool, armed security guards, housekeepers, and a private cook.
DSA strategist Morris Katz allegedly stopped paying rent on a $5,700/month luxury Brooklyn apartment, with his wealthy parents eventually settling the debt.
Katz later held a top position on Graham Platner's failed Senate campaign.
The Cato Institute estimates the DSA platform would cost between $71 trillion and $212 trillion over the next decade.
As Cato states: “Confiscating every dollar of high-end wealth and corporate profits would cover only a fraction of those costs.”
_OUR TAKE_
Marxism being championed by wealthy kids with soft hands has become so common it borders on cliché. These trust-fund socialists have never experienced financial hardship, and simply role-play as working-class champions while their parents pay for their luxurious lifestyles.
Their $200 trillion agenda perfectly expresses their worldview. The Democratic Socialists have no idea how money, markets, or spending work, so they devise grand plans — reminiscent of AOC’s Green New Deal — that have a price tag so large it stops having any real meaning.
