Zohran Mamdani’s administration is barely underway, and the mask is already slipping.

Cea Weaver, the new director of New York City’s Office to Protect Tenants, has a history of social media posts that read like a communist manifesto. And not the subtle, dressed-up-in-progressive-language kind. The actual “seize private property” kind.

In resurfaced posts from her now-deleted X account, Weaver laid out exactly what she believes — and it should terrify every New Yorker who owns anything.

“Seize Private Property!”

That’s a direct quote. June 13, 2018. Cea Weaver. The woman now in charge of “protecting” tenants in America’s largest city.

Not “reform property laws.” Not “expand tenant rights.” Not even “regulate landlords more strictly.”

Seize private property.

This is the person Mamdani chose to oversee housing policy. Someone who openly advocates for the government taking what you own.

Homeownership = White Supremacy

It gets worse.

“Private property including any kind of ESPECIALLY homeownership is a weapon of white supremacy,” Weaver wrote.

Read that again. Owning a home — the American Dream, the thing generations of immigrants worked toward, the foundation of middle-class wealth — is “white supremacy.”

Not discriminatory lending practices. Not redlining. Not specific historical injustices. Homeownership itself. The concept. The act of owning where you live.

By this logic, the Black family that saved for years to buy a house in Queens is participating in white supremacy. The Hispanic couple who purchased a condo in the Bronx is wielding a “weapon” of racial oppression.

It’s not just wrong. It’s insane.

“Elect More Communists”

Weaver wasn’t hiding her ideology. In December 2017, she explicitly called to “elect more communists.”

This was during a ceremony renaming a Harlem street corner for Vito Marcantonio, a congressman who was literally a Communist.

She wasn’t being ironic. She wasn’t using “communist” as loose shorthand for “progressive.” She meant it. Elect more people who believe in state ownership of property, abolition of private enterprise, and collectivization of resources.

And now she’s running housing policy for 8 million people.

The Deleted Account

Weaver’s X account is now deleted. Scrubbed clean after internet sleuths started digging through her history.

That’s what people do when they know their past statements are indefensible. Not apologize. Not explain context. Delete everything and hope nobody saved screenshots.

Too late. The receipts exist. The posts are documented. The ideology is exposed.

Property Will Be “Collectivized”

In the resurfaced video, Weaver talks about how property is “going to be collectivized” — and notes that this will “mostly affect white people.”

Set aside the racial component for a moment. Focus on “collectivized.”

That’s Soviet terminology. That’s Maoist language. That’s the word used to describe programs that killed millions of people in the 20th century — Ukrainian farmers starved during the Holodomor, Chinese peasants worked to death during the Great Leap Forward.

“Collectivization” isn’t an abstract policy preference. It’s a historical atrocity with a body count in the tens of millions.

And the person who uses this word approvingly is now a New York City official.

Mamdani Knew

This isn’t some random bureaucrat who slipped through the cracks. Cea Weaver is a prominent housing activist. Her views are well-documented. Her organization, Housing Justice for All, has pushed radical tenant policies for years.

Mamdani didn’t accidentally appoint someone with communist beliefs. He deliberately chose her because of those beliefs. She’s not a bug in his administration — she’s a feature.

This is who Mamdani is. This is what his voters elected. This is what New York City chose.

What Comes Next

Weaver is now the director of the Office to Protect Tenants. She has actual power over housing policy.

What does “protecting tenants” look like when you believe property ownership is white supremacy?

Expect policies designed to make landlording impossible. Expect regulations that drive property owners out of the market. Expect the steady erosion of property rights disguised as “tenant protection.”

The end goal isn’t balance between landlords and tenants. The end goal is eliminating private property ownership entirely. Weaver said so herself.

New York’s Warning Sign

Other cities should watch closely.

Mamdani ran as a Democratic Socialist. He won anyway. Now he’s staffing his administration with people who openly advocate communism and property seizure.

This is what happens when voters don’t take radical candidates seriously. When “democratic socialist” gets treated as just another flavor of progressive rather than a genuine ideological commitment.

Mamdani meant what he said. His appointees mean what they say. And New York is about to find out what that looks like in practice.

The Question Nobody Asked

Here’s what should haunt New York voters: did anyone vet Cea Weaver before Mamdani appointed her?

Did anyone search her social media history? Did anyone ask about her views on property rights? Did anyone notice she was calling to “elect more communists”?

Either they didn’t check — which is incompetence. Or they checked and didn’t care — which is worse.

The Bottom Line

New York City’s new Tenant Advocate believes homeownership is white supremacy and wants to seize private property.

That’s not spin. That’s not exaggeration. That’s her own words, posted publicly, now deleted but preserved forever.

Zohran Mamdani put her in charge of housing policy. On purpose. Because he agrees with her.

New Yorkers voted for this. Now they get to live with it.

What will the city look like in a year? Keep watching.

The radicals are in charge, and they’re not pretending anymore.
