In the last year or so, Spencer Pratt has gone from fire victim to somewhat accidental Los Angeles mayoral candidate to a spokesman for America. Unless you happened to follow reality television closely enough to see his turn as a heel, Pratt serves as a rather fresh face on the political circuit he adopted when he decided last January to toss his hat into the ring for a long-shot bid to become LA’s mayor.

But Pratt’s campaign (and its media) touched a chord with thousands of Angelinos, turning what some saw as a vanity bid early on into a threat to the political power base. Despite being second in the voting on Election Night, his lead slowly and inexorably shrank as the days went on and mail-in ballots were counted, with third-place contender Nithya Raman finally catching up on the Sunday after Election Day.

Freed of the campaign trail, however, Pratt has been on blast against the Los Angeles power structure the last few weeks, but his latest missive, recorded on Independence Day, reached across the country to criticize New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani. As PJ Media’s Victoria Taft excellently put it, Pratt “dropped anti-commie bombs with the ease, alacrity, and accuracy of a B-2 pilot flattening an Iranian nuclear site.”

While Pratt couldn’t avoid dropping a few f-bombs along the way as well, his video compared the Left’s efforts to erase our history with the idea of how our own houses eventually gain their own history as we continue to live and make memories there. It’s the communists who don’t want to preserve it, as Pratt explained on X prior to the video’s release.

“The communist always must destroy your history,” he noted. “History is what attaches you to something. Memories make a home. The communist attacks your history to unmoor you from your home, so you won’t fight him when he demolishes it and renovates it in his image.”

So think back to the George Floyd riots, heck, even go back almost a decade now to the Charlottesville controversy over removing a long-standing statue of Robert E. Lee. It was the squeaky wheels who received the grease, as there was no mass national outcry demanding monuments be removed or uprooted.

But that’s where the communist began in this case. As Pratt said mockingly in the video, “‘Oh, we could get rid of that little story. We could knock down that statue. We could change the name of that street. That’s a sad memory from our history. You don’t want that memory hanging around. You’re not a bigot, right?’”

“And slowly but surely, this wall comes down, then that wall gets sledgehammered. The rafter where dad hit his head? That’s gone. The rug where your son took his first step? That’s gone. The patch on the wood floor when you stomped on the glass at your wedding ceremony? That’s gone, replaced with shiny vinyl planks. Now you’ve got a brand-new home with no memories. Now what? Do you care what they do with it? Do you care what color they paint the walls? Nah.”

As Not the Bee opines, Pratt “understands communism perfectly.”

But if Pratt understands the communists, Hot Air’s David Strom has decoded their message, which is meant to reassure the ears of the gullible and weak-minded. “It’s true that there are people who call themselves ‘socialists’ who are not, at least precisely, communists,” writes Strom. “The DSA used to work hard to keep the communist revolutionaries out of the party. But first, that was decades ago, before the revolutionary communists swamped the people who liked the Nordic model of the 60s and 70s (which they gave up decades ago, denationalizing industries and embracing a capitalist economic model with high taxes and high social insurance). Now the party is nothing but a skinsuit for revolutionary Marxists. The distinction was always fuzzy, but now basically doesn’t exist at all.”

Nor do they hide it, as several of their budding political superstars like Mamdani, Graham Platner, Darializa Avila Chevalier, Melat Kiros, and others espouse a platform of wealth redistribution, defunding police, and erasing the border, among many other far-left programs Marx and Engels would approve of.

But if you consider Zohran Mamdani’s address, delivered in front of George Washington’s desk on the eve of our 250th birthday a shot across the bow (as President Donald Trump did, noted by my colleague Nate Jackson yesterday) it was Pratt’s message in response that sunk his battleship. I encourage you to do as I did and spend five minutes enjoying a real tribute to our independence.
