Bronx Bolsheviks: New York Didn’t Drift Left, Marxists Dragged it Toward Communism
New York just delivered one of the clearest signals yet of a political realignment driven not by traditional left-versus-right divides, but by a deeper ideological shift rooted in neo-Marxist organizing. The recent election results in New York City didn’t just reflect changing voter sentiment—they reflected the ascendance of a political movement built around revolutionary theory, cultural control, and targeted pressure campaigns. We are offering three voices who can speak to this moment from three angles—geopolitical, cultural, and electoral.
Joshua Philipp is a senior investigative reporter for the Epoch Times and analyst of global political movements. He has tracked the spread of Marxist and Maoist organizational tactics from China into American protest groups, universities, and municipal political networks. He can explain why New York serves as a testing ground, how these groups sustain influence through NGO and labor-linked networks, and why this is not spontaneous activism, but deliberate ideological campaigning.
Jim Harden, CEO of CompassCare and a targeted victim of ANTIFA’s Jane’s Revenge firebombing campaign, can speak firsthand to the methods of these groups. Harden is not an academic observer—he has lived under coordinated harassment, cyber targeting, and media smears meant to silence and intimidate. He understands how modern Marxist activism blends political messaging with coercion, how violence is justified as “liberation,” and how law enforcement leniency creates a protected operating space.
Jim Renacci, former U.S. Congressman from Ohio, brings the electoral and strategic perspective. He has been warning Republicans that messaging to the base alone will not stop this movement. Independents are disconnecting—not because they support Marxist politics, but because conservative messaging has become reactive rather than visionary. Renacci can explain how to rebuild a coalition that speaks to economic dignity, local identity, and institutional fairness—issues the left has aggressively co-opted.
Together, these three voices illustrate the system, the tactics, and the stakes:
• The ideological pipeline into municipal power
• The normalization of political intimidation
• The danger of leaving independents politically homeless
This is not about “New York politics.”
This is a national roadmap—unless someone stops it.

ABOUT JIM RENACCI…
In 2010, Jim filed to run for U.S. Congress in Ohio’s 16th Congressional District, taking on a well-funded Democratic incumbent. Jim won the election by 9 percent.
While in Congress, Jim earned a reputation for being a principled conservative and effective legislator. He quickly rose through the ranks to serve on the Committee on Financial Services, as vice-chair of the Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit, and as a member of the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations. After just two years, Jim was named to the powerful Ways and Means Committees and Budget Committees.
Not only did the blue-collar entrepreneur realize his own dream, but Jim also became the answer to countless Ohioans. As can only happen in America, the Ohioan entrepreneur soon laid claim to operate over 60 businesses, creating 1,500 new jobs, employing over 3,000 people statewide.
But politics had other plans. In 2009, the Obama Administration took over General Motors, shuttering dealerships across the country— including Jim’s in Northeast Ohio. Shutting down Jim’s dealership killed 50 good-paying jobs in his community — and Jim wasn’t going to stand by while neighbors were going hungry. How could Washington blatantly interfere in the everyday lives of hard-working Americans who wanted nothing more but their own chance at the American Dream?
Jim’s track record as a blue-collar entrepreneur demonstrates his only allegiance has ever been to the very people who D.C. bureaucrats forcibly unemployed that fateful day in an Ohio car dealership — the everyday Americans forgotten by the Swamp. He represents the people’s hopes and fears, bringing actionable results back to the working people who gave him a voice.
