About the Creator
Wall Street Apes is a social media account known for sharing political commentary and conspiracy-adjacent content with a populist, anti-establishment tone. The account uses provocative rhetoric and often amplifies critiques of progressive politicians and policies, targeting audiences skeptical of left-leaning governance.
What's This About?
This post amplifies a narrative comparing New York City's new Mayor Zohran Mamdani's inauguration rhetoric to communist rhetoric, using a Romanian immigrant's account of Soviet-era collectivism as a cautionary parallel. The post argues that Mamdani's use of the phrase 'collectivism' mirrors language used by communist regimes and warns of similar authoritarian outcomes in America. The content conflates democratic socialist policy proposals with totalitarian communist regimes and draws historical analogies to delegitimize Mamdani's platform.
🔥Why It's Trending
This content is trending due to the recency of Mamdani's inauguration on January 1, 2026, as New York City's 112th mayor. The post capitalizes on heightened political polarization around Mamdani's democratic socialist platform and generates engagement through inflammatory comparisons between progressive policy language and authoritarian regimes. The timing coincides with his first days in office, when media attention and political scrutiny of his administration are at peak levels.

Imagine Iran without Islam. It would be Paradise. Just like how Iran was, before Islam and Communism took over in 1979 and turned our country into a 7th century Islamic hell hole governed by Sharia Law. Bring back the Shah. Make Iran Great Again. https://t.co/9Sv6pBFMr7
