Socialist Zohran Mamdani called for ‘abolition of private property,’ resurfaced video shows

New York City socialist Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani is being ripped for advocating “the abolition of private property” — as a video resurfaced of him touting the radical position this week.

“If there was any system that could guarantee each person housing — whether you call it the abolition of private property or you call it a statewide housing guarantee — it is preferable to what is going on right now,” Mamdani said in the video shared by RNC Research.

“People try to play gotcha games about these kinds of things. Look, I care more about whether somebody has a home.”

... even Jewish New Yorkers praising Mamdani!!

Leftist Jews. There are also a lot of Orthodox in NYC, though not a many as there used to be.

Jewish leftism is even more of a suicide cult than regular leftism.

He makes a good point in there - or at least points to a silver lining:

Let his socialist policies run wild. I want the wealth and capital to flee NYC. It will be like an Ayn Rand novel. Let businesses and the tax base flee. Let's see if chaos ensues. Why aren't conservatives cheering him on? NYC is a democratic supermajority. People fleeing NYC for red and purple states just means more wealthy people or businesses moving to FL/TX The US is too big as a country. Let each locality or state be a grand experiment in policy approaches, and let's see who are the winners and losers."

Half of me feels the same way.

Must be a misunderstanding between us.

Class envy of the dimwitted, confident young people is directed toward the achievers and job creators. And among the black people toward the more intelligent and higher achieving Asians and white people. (Black people in the scenes of Sharpton and Mamdani having man hugs at rallies.)
These people go to Communism or Socialism to even the score as they watch from mom’s basement between gaming levels to see on their phones what is happening in politics for Mamdoni and AOC, their heroes.

I see no silver lining, just disingenuous speculation. The heart of that poster’s “breath of fresh air” is the further normalization of marxist rhetoric. Just an anti-establishment flamer cheering his cohort on.

Too many young people think Mao/communism is cool. Perhaps they need an abject, up close and personal lesson of what it really is, and what it really does.

‘abolition of private property,’

By which he means YOUR property. Not his property.

Don’t worry, if Mamdani gets his little world going he’ll be living like a sultan while everyone else will be suffering and paying for it.

Too bad Sliwa's such an unlikable big mouth, I'm sure he'd make a good mayor. But then that's NY city.

The first and largest caliphate with sharia law ruling about to be established. And those who vote him in office will laugh all the way to the gulag.

And, if any survive, they’ll hopefully yell from the rooftops how utterly WRONG they were.

I'd say get behind Cuomo....and clobber that dude. Wasn't the primary ranked voting? That's how he won....you can easily control the outcome.

Too bad the Republicans don't have a better candidate.

zohran is definitely gonna win because the anti-zohran vote will be split between coumo, adams, and sliwa ... if there was just one opponent, zohran wouldn’t stand a chance ...

The Republican front-runner, Not Mamdani, has a double-digit lead in the polls, I presume? It should be Andy Giuliani, but it’s not.

“Mamdani is now favored to win the general election against incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa and Cuomo. Both Adams and Cuomo are running on independent ballot lines.”

Maybe the Rats will split their votes three ways and Sliwa will come up on top.

Anyone know his polling numbers?

“People fleeing NYC for red and purple states”

Large numbers flee to GA .... for the jobs mostly.

They were Democrats in NYC. They are open to switching to Republican or Independent. But few do. And why?

Factions of Republicans are fighting each other harder than fighting the Dems. And none of these factions seem a welcome place new converts.
