Before you can build an economy, you must first have a nation. Not just lines on a map or a government bureaucracy, but a people unified by faith, blood, tradition, and a shared destiny. A real economy requires a protected home market, a common legal framework, and above all, a population bound together by mutual interest.
What we have today is none of that, instead we have an abomination: an economic system without a home, a soul, or a flag. It is an economy of rootless financial parasites, where the only sacred truth is the steady climb of the almighty green line. This system feels no loyalty to Ohio’s factory towns or Michigan’s working families. It has no conscience. It serves nothing but the numbers on a screen no matter how many lives, communities, or generations are devoured in the process.
For decades our political leaders taught us that the great battle of our time was Capitalism versus Socialism and that to be a patriot was to chant free market slogans like “socialism sucks” while our factories were packed up and shipped to China. They convinced us that economic freedom meant cheering as our industries were offshored and our towns were hollowed out for the sake of a higher corporate profit margin.
Zohran Mamdani’s victory in New York City should therefore not come as a surprise. It is the direct and festering symptom of the very disease I am describing. It is the political manifestation of an economic system that has abandoned its native population. When you systematically impoverish and displace a people you do not get gratitude. You get Mamdani.
His victory is a scream of pain from a generation that has been left with nothing to lose. They are not voting for socialism because they have read Marx; they are voting for “free” buses and “free” childcare because the alternative is a life of impossible financial pressure.
Of course there’s a much bigger elephant in the room that no one seems to want to address: nearly half of the people in New York City are foreign-born. In a state that was once an engine of American industry and a beacon of our shared national culture, most of the population now has its primary cultural and familial ties, its deepest loyalties and first loves, elsewhere.
This massive demographic shift is the root cause of the political and economic sickness we see across the nation. It is the reason a leftist radical with a name like “Zohran Mamdani” can rise to power in a great American city. He offers socialist palliatives to a native population squeezed out of its own future and the promise of free stuff to the new permanent underclass of foreigners. The reason housing costs are stratospheric in the first place is because demand is artificially inflated by endless streams of these new arrivals. It is also the reason wages remain stagnant, as a permanent, imported underclass is used to undercut the bargaining power of American workers.
What is the answer from our leadership to this man-made crisis?
A fifty-year mortgage and another $2,000 stimulus check.
We did not vote for this. We mobilized, we fought, and we sent a message that was supposed to be unmistakable. We demanded a restoration of sovereignty. We demanded the reclamation of our economy. The rallying cry was not for creative financing and a lifetime of usury. It was for the removal of the foreign labor army that undermines our wages and our communities. It was a demand for fifty million deportations to restore the bargaining power of the American worker and make housing affordable again through the sane, natural laws of supply and demand.
We did not ask for a longer leash. We asked for our freedom. We do not want fifty years of mortgage payments. We want fifty million deportations. We want an economy that works for our people. We want a nation that puts its own children first. Anything less is not a compromise. It is a surrender. And we will not surrender.
It is one of the great ironies of modern history that the very regime we are taught to revile above all others achieved what our own leaders insist is impossible. While we are relentlessly instructed on the horrors of National Socialism, we are never told of its economic miracle. A revival so stunning it lifted a nation from the ashes of despair and turned it into an industrial leader within a handful of years.
While our system plunges young men into lifelong debt for the chance at a home, the National Socialists offered marriage loans, slashed unemployment to zero, and prioritized the stability of the family as the core of national strength. They understood a fundamental truth our leaders deny: that an economy must serve its own people first. They did not outsource their future or replace their workforce. They valued their workers, celebrated mothers, and forged an economic engine that hummed with purpose and productivity.
We are told their system was pure evil, yet ours, which impoverishes our youth, dissolves our borders, and laughs at the very concept of national interest, is presented as moral and just. The question screams to be asked: who are the real monsters? Those who built a nation for their people, or those who are selling ours off piece by piece?
This globalist economic system has been the most effective weapon ever deployed against the American people. It destroyed our industrial heartland through a coordinated betrayal by our own leaders. It corrupted our culture by replacing a sense of shared heritage and common good with a hollow, consumerist individualism that leaves us isolated and powerless. It attacked our people, making us strangers in our own land and competing against the entire world for jobs, housing, and a sliver of the dream.
We’ve been importing the third-world for decades and suddenly everyone is shocked that we’re getting third-world politics. A nation cannot survive when it becomes a mere territory, a hotel for the world. A nation is a people. It is a shared blood, a shared story, a shared destiny.
A healthy economy is not an accident. It is built with intention and defended with conviction. For decades, we were fed the lie that capitalism and the invisible hand of the free market would be the tide that lifts all boats. We were told to trust the market to self-correct, to believe the invisible hand would forge a nation our children could inherit. It’s time to wake up and smell the roses: the boats are sinking and the invisible hand has robbed us blind.
The spiritual cost is even greater than the economic one. A young man without meaningful work is a man without a purpose. He is denied the fundamental dignity of being a provider, of building something tangible with his hands and his mind. This idleness, this forced dependency, is a poison that erodes the soul. It leads to despair, to addiction, to the breakdown of the family itself.
The globalist system has created a generation of men who are told they are unnecessary, that their strength and their capacity for hard work are relics of a bygone era. This is a lie told to break their spirit and make them compliant. To the young men who are reading this I need you to listen to me very carefully: you are necessary, you matter, and we are going to win.
We will restore the covenant between the economy and the people. An economy is healthy when it strengthens the nation, when it provides for the common defense and promotes the general welfare, as our founding documents intended. It is sick when it enriches a handful of rootless cosmopolitans while impoverishing the heartland. We must judge every economic policy by a simple standard: does this make our people stronger? Does this provide a future for our children? Does this preserve our national character?
Capitalism unmoored from national interest is a suicide pact. It sacrifices the long-term health of the nation for the short-term profits of a cosmopolitan elite. The “green line going up” on a screen in Manhattan is a pathetic substitute for the prosperity of a thousand Main Streets across the country.
The old conservative mantra is bankrupt. We don’t need to be yelled at about how bad socialism is. We need a movement that recognizes the globalist system we live under is the disease, and that a patriotic, pro-worker, nationalist economics is the only cure. The goal isn’t to make the line go up. The goal is to make our people strong, our nation secure, and our future our own again.
The answer is not to abandon enterprise or ownership, but rather to chain them firmly to the nation they are meant to serve. This requires economic patriotism enacted into law through trade policies that make it more profitable to build and hire at home than to exploit cheap labor abroad. It demands a full moratorium on all worker visa programs until every young American who wants a job can find one that pays a family sustaining wage. It calls for a national mission of reindustrialization, a united effort to bring our critical industries, from microchips to medicines, back to our shores. Most importantly, it requires an explicit rejection of the globalist creed. Corporations and their leaders must owe their primary allegiance to the nation that provides their customers, their security, and their very identity.
This is not an argument against prosperity. It is an argument for a prosperity that endures. It is a vision of an economy where profits serve the people, not the other way around. It is a system where a young man can earn enough on a single income to support a wife and children with dignity. It is a future where a young woman can see hope and opportunity in the same town where she was raised.
That is the only economy worth fighting for. Anything less is merely organized national suicide, and our youth are the ones being sacrificed on its altar. The stakes are nothing less than the soul and survival of America itself. We will not go quietly into their managed decline.
We will fight, we will build, and we will win.
