Mafia vs. Mamdani: How Would the Mob Handle a Socialist Mayor?
YouTube ^ | 11/7/25 | Michael Franzese

Posted on 11/09/2025 3:10:35 PM PST by Impala64ssa

In this video, I explain why my old crew would never back defunding police or Marxist policies, how our neighborhood code demanded law and order, and what would happen if we let a communist marshal our streets. Get ready for an insider’s look at the principles that once ruled the underworld—and why they’d move heaven and earth to stop this mayor.

Interesting take from an ex mobster.

During the 1977 blackout my grandmother lived in the Pelham Pkwy section of the Bronx. With all the looting and mayhem around NYC that night it was of the few neighborhoods that were relatively unscathed. There were quite a few "alledged" wise guys living there at the time

My first knee jerk thought was that a socialist creates scarcity and scarcity creates a lucrative black market for those good at capitalizing on black markets.

if that were the only choice, I’d pick the mob in a heartbeat.

The mob does value making a profit.

Now, how they go about that is a completely different matter.

The mafia provided an outlet for those who believed they were disenfranchised. They would provide alternate police, control over certain neighborhoods, acquiescence from local pols and cops who are either sympathetic or paid off.

Of course, they have to be paid for such “insurance”.

I don’t know if the old model can work today.

It would be the wop mafia vs. the goat-bangers. Who would win?

The Dems and GOP are mobs, too. People use prettified phony names for them.

The Big Guy had to get his 10%. Hunter set up favors to foreign countries for the Biden boys to get money for influencing US policy against the American people’s interests.

Obamacare was going to be ended on Day One if the people voted for the GOP. Unless payoffs made that less profitable.

The AARP and health insurance CEOS went in to talk with Obama and came out unable to conceal their smiles as they sold out the American people.

Didn’t Guiliani take out the Mafia?

Mamdani has more power than the Mafia.

The Mob is organized crime.
Government is organized crime.

This could be a gang war.

Dream on! You watch too much TV and movies. The mob if they need to will cut a deal. Where ever the money is, is the direction they’ll go.

Who would win?

The Jamaicans and the Vietnamese gangs are the wildcard.

The Mafia also guarded are ports during WWII and protected them from sabotage by Axis agents.

“I don’t know if the old model can work today.”

The new model is less hidden.
It’s right in the faces of the citizenry.

The folks in charge lie right to the faces of voters.
The favored criminal elements are in the streets causing havoc.

The local Machine and Pols are pocketing dollars from all angles.

It’s not anything to solve.
It’s The Revolution that matters

They’d buy him, like they did other RAT politicians.
