'Violence Is an Artificial Construct’: Old Videos, Tweets From Zohran Mamdani Resurface
Legal Insurrection ^ | June 29 2025 | Stacey Matthews

Sometimes, the best way to demonstrate the dangers of electing certain candidates to higher office is by letting them speak for themselves.

Zohran Mamdani, the presumptive Democrat mayoral nominee for New York City, is one of those people.

While the New York Assemblyman has been presented as the “relatable” socialist (as if there is such a thing) despite his racist, antisemitic, and anti-American tendencies – and smooth-talked his way ahead of former NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo in both the polls and the primary, statements he’s made over the years and stances that he’s taken paint quite a different picture.

Without further ado, here is Zohran Mamdani in his own words (mostly from a Twitter/X thread compiled by user @Izengabe_):

Every man, woman & child should be guaranteed all that they needed to live, because that's what human dignity demands.

And we should stop demanding women pick up the slack for our failure to live up to that responsibility. (5/5) pic.twitter.com/on6Szrz9iZ

We need to abolish private insurance, institute single-payer & nationalize the medical supply chain immediately. This is no time to put the ideology of capitalism above helping those who are in the greatest need.

Lives are at stake. https://t.co/DqzzUVbWuC

Under capitalism, housing is a commodity from which landlords & developers extract huge profits while our communities suffer eviction, foreclosure & displacement.

We can’t reform our way out of a racist police system that’s working exactly as designed – as a means of control over black & brown New Yorkers.

We need to dramatically curtail the power & presence of the NYPD.

$1B in cuts over 4 years is only the first step toward that goal. pic.twitter.com/ihhCjsUmd0

There's a movement in Queens to do just that, led by formerly incarcerated New Yorkers, public defenders, social workers & political organizers.

That was the coalition behind Tiffany Cabán's historic run for Queens DA.

Astoria was with that movement. But our opponent wasn't. pic.twitter.com/sN54ghpDfP

This might be his craziest tweet…

Irrelevant. Mamdani is cool, he’s muslim, (which appeals to the virtue signalers on the left), and the media loves him. I fully expect this guy to be elected mayor.

Being witness to Mos blowing out a coffee shop in BANGKOK THAILAND in the name of mikmukallahmilk, was no construct! That was in 1972.

This reminds me of the 18th Century Anglo-Irish philosopher George Berkeley who denied any physical reality, saying every physical thing is imaginary and immaterial. He had quite the stylish, “intellectual” following. Samuel Johnson destroyed him with ridicule. Johnson soundly kicked a large stone, saying, “Thus I refute Bishop Berkeley.”

This kind of magical thinking is popular with college sophomores and others believing themselves to have superior intellect. DemocRats, for example.

Zohran Mamdani on why he wants to empty jails: “VioIence is an artificial construct.”

So if I punch him in the face and kick his ribs in while he’s down that’s “artificial”.

Cool.

Violence, or the threat of violence, underpins EVERYTHING in Society.

Interesting how this guy ignores the reality of the consequences of his words opening the door to justifying violence from one side without accepting that the other side can rightly use that same justification according to his own words. What this man is effectively doing is laying a foundation for civil war. Does no one else see that?

Senator Chris Murphy: Zohran Mamdani — A self-described Democratic Socialist — has an “economic message” that “is the future of the [Democratic] Party.”

It’s just more nonsense designed to sound authoritative while being absolutely meaningless. It’s part of the programming they do. Along the lines of ‘Race is just a Social Construct!”. (My niece, when in college, wrote an essay advancing this tripe. We discussed it. I pointed out that the races are quite easily discerned from each other because of physiological differences. And noted that only blacks can develop sickle cell anemia. We agreed that a disease was not a social construct. She’d never heard that, and then changed her mind. “But then why does everyone say it’s just a social construct?” I advised that the answer to THAT question was for her to discover on her own...)
