Resurfaced video shows NYC mayoral hopeful saying he wants to replace private homes with communal living

Zohran Mamdani, the democratic socialist candidate for New York City mayor, has come under fire from critics who label him a "communist" – a charge he dismisses as a distraction.

However, the criticisms may not be as unfounded as Mamdani claims. Videos show the NYC mayoral candidate espousing language and theories rooted in communist revolutionary language.

In one 2021 video, Mamdani urges fellow socialists at a conference to not compromise on goals like "seizing the means of production." In a second video, released on YouTube by progressive advocacy group The Gravel Institute that same year, Mamdani discusses the need to turn housing from a private commodity to a public one, calling for luxury condos to be replaced with communal style living that would include things like shared laundry facilities and food co-ops.

The purpose of multi-racial and communal living is to keep people from forming alliances along their natural lines of commonality.

Loyal Comrades will live in a barracks. The dissidents will live in the mud. Both will have fences.

He’s NOT a communist .
Even though he wants government to control the means of production , eliminate rich people (unless they are connected government leaders), control where people live , tell you what is acceptable to eat .
But he’s NOT a Communist.

I just love this statement

NY City literally has NO means of production. It doesn't grow or process its own food, it doesn't produce any energy, it doesn't produce anything related to trains, planes, cars or electronics, it doesn't even make clothes any more.

NY City literally survives by taxing Wall Street financialization, and by aid/welfare from Fed.gov

And that's ALL from our printed, fiat, Federal Reserve money and the massive debt it allows

I suppose its natural NY City would raise up people who want EVEN MORE free sh**.

They are obsessed with “equality.” They hate it when they see that some people live in a nice house while others live in a tent. Their solution is to force everybody (except the ruling elite) into the same kind of apartment.

The ruling elite will continue to live in mansions and will eat the best food.

Definite commie.

I went to East Berlin before the wall came down. A pathetic mess. Hideous housing, lack of grocery stores. “Restaurant” had ghastly food and only one towel in the ladies’ room. Filthy, everyone on our tour bus complained especially Germans from West Germany.
