The Rise of Communism and Marxism in America

O’Reilly says he’s surprised by the "growing spectre of communism" in the US, especially the "emerging anti capitalist movement" given Americans’ relatively high standard of living.
- Quote: “I did not expect the emerging anti capitalist movement in our country. Why? Because most Americans live pretty well. Even poor people have much more than middle class people in most of the world.” (00:17)
He attributes the increase in Marxist sentiments to figures such as Senator Bernie Sanders:
- Noting that Sanders recently quoted Mao Zedong, whom O’Reilly calls "the worst mass murderer in history."

O’Reilly references his own book, Confronting Evil 1, asserting that Sanders is “someone who wants to emulate” Mao.

The Danger to Wealth and Freedom

O’Reilly warns that if you are considered wealthy, “the communists consider you a so called oligarch, then they're coming after you.”

He names Zoran Mamdani as the movement’s "second in command" and marvels at his political success in New York City:

Bill O'Reilly here and I'm warming up. Standby for the O'Reilly Update Morning Edition on this Friday. I'm thinking about the growing spectre of communism in America. The Marxists are causing trouble and this took me by surprise. I did not expect the emerging anti capitalist movement in our country. Why? Because most Americans live pretty well. Even poor people have much more than middle class people in most of the world. Now this week, the godfather of socialism, Senator Bernie Sanders quoted Mao Zedong, the Chinese chairman who is the worst mass murderer in history. If you read my book Confronting Evil 1, we document that and that's who Sanders wants to emulate. If you are a wealthy person and the communists consider you a so called oligarch, then they're coming after you. This is what communism is. The government controls what we the people have and what we do. There is no freedom in Mao's utopia. The second in command is Zoran Mamdani. It amazes me how many New Yorkers voted for a hardcore Marxist to run the nation's largest city. Those voters will soon be sorry. Communism USA is a groving movement, but it is very dangerous. Back in a moment.
