## Resource

The factors behind the widespread success of Democrat Socialist candidates in races across the U.S. is being heavily examined by both parties and political experts who warn this trend can lead to great harm for American culture. New York City elected a socialist mayor, Zohran Mamdani, and three socialist congressional candidates he endorsed, and out west, Seattle also elected a socialist mayor, with Colorado too unseating a longtime Democrat with socialist congressional candidate. While these politicians identify as socialist, some point out that to the authors of the communist manifesto, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels - socialism and communism is interchangeable. FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Mike Gonzalez, the Angeles T. Arredondo E Pluribus Unum Senior Fellow at The Heritage Foundation, and co-author of 'Next Gen Marxism: What Is It And How To Combat It'', who warns that a one "vicious cycle" is currently dominating American politics which could lead to "communists in double digits" serving in Congress.
