Facebook co-founder Tyler Winklevoss pens warning about Zohran Mamdani and the coming of age of socialism in NYC
X ^ | June 26, 2025 | @tyler

A lot of people have asked me if I will get involved in the NYC mayor race by supporting a candidate that can defeat Zohran Mamdani. TBH, I’m torn and undecided. Like every other city run by democrats, NYC is a broken kleptocracy. Taxes are astronomical and services are pathetic to nonexistent. Anarchy and socialism are the next logical steps in this story arc. It's what the people of NYC have been asking for for years and it looks like it's what they are about to get. Trying to fight against this tide seems like throwing good money after bad.

It appears things will have to get worse in NYC before they get better. The Zoomers and Millennials need a refresher on the outcome of Marxism and socialism. They are too young to remember the crack and crime epidemic and murder sprees of the late 80's and early 90's. The squeegee men, graffiti, mugging, lawlessness, chaos, and pandemonium. Streets that were too unsafe to walk alone at night or even during the day. Getting mugged on the way to and from school was not just a rite of passage, it was an inevitability.

The Wall Streeters, financiers, and hedge funders have been too busy working on their fishponds and climbing the rungs of polite society to remember to protect the system that allowed them to achieve their success in the first place and allowed New York City to once become the greatest city in the world. Not ruffling feathers was more important than questioning the ideological insanity being taught in the private schools and universities that they sent their kids to. All that mattered was fitting in and getting invited to the right dinner parties.

Now their kids are indoctrinated NPCs, always protesting and supporting the current thing. Like their parents, they too want to fit in. To do so, they unironically exchange bromides and platitudes on the benefits of socialism over rosé brunches in the West Village. Because their friends hate America and capitalism, they do too. It never dawns on them that their lifestyle and studio apartment that their parents subsidize are all made possible because of capitalism.

This delusional thinking was ingrained in them at an early age by institutions that were captured by insane ideology and left unchecked by their grossly negligent parents. Instead of providing their children with immunity from stupid and provably bad ideas that have only led to misery and death throughout history, these parents shrugged it off as kids will be kids.

Now these kids are adults who can vote, but are totally unequipped to do so. In many ways it’s not their fault. From their parents, they learned some combination of magical thinking, preference falsification, and an inability to stand up for anything greater than themselves. As a result, they never learned how to think critically or independently. They never learned the value of Western civilization so they don't understand why, or know how, to fight for it.

Sometimes the only way to learn something is to learn it the hard way. Sometimes the only way to learn the value of what you have is to lose it. If that’s the case, Marxism and socialism might just be what the doctor ordered.

I’m surprised nobody running for Governor here in Commiefornia have stolen any Zoltan’s ideas. I’m sure it’s just a matter of time, though.

Yes he is. But his anti-woke and anti-socialist comments just might get him banned from Facebook. Wouldn’t that be ironic?

(Just kidding… for now.)

I’ve never been to NYC, but I see residents of the city on television all the time complaining about the filth and dangers of the streets and subways.

Ironically, if the City did less they’d do it better.

He just sounds a little too much like he’s making promises like the guy he’s criticizing.

A lesson from the school of hard knocks is about to unfold on an entire city.

This muzzie will only add the icing on the cake in the socialist city called New York.

I think he’s just pointing out the absurdity of voting for people whose ideologies are going to destroy your city.

Saw that Zohran means “sun” or “bright” in both Urdu and Arabic.

So now we need a Zohran block.

Calling Eucerin, Banana Boat and Coppertone.

I did the opposite. I homeschooled the kids. Had them doing calculus at 12 on their own. They studied the fall of Rome. we joined a Messianic Jewish congregation at which they earned Bat Mitzvah. When it came time for them to learn college chemistry and physics, I sent them to JC. The one who transferred to Stanford fell to peer groupthink anyway. She's now a hardcore leftist. The other is somewhere in the middle. Both were dumb enough to get the vax.

The system works and is good at what is intended by its progenitors because concentrating power and dependency through socialism is good for those who buy the bankrupted assets at auction.

It’s difficult for me to imagine how much worse NYC can/will get; however, it appears that it shall, with yet another Dem mayor, no matter WHOM that might be;the damned Muslim being THE worst of the worst of the lot.
