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.

Exactly.
He should lead by example and move his family into the commune.
Everyone report to the “Projects” for your assigned living quarters.... UUGH...Freedom.
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.
Awesome eh?
Like back in the USSR?
Exactly. Heard he lives in a $3 million pad in the tony Chelsea area of Manhattan.
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.
How Bolshevik of him.
THE 20 MINUTE “CITY” NOW THE GOAL IN CHINA MANY ARRIVE HERE FIRST!
IT’S A TRAP PEOPLE!
DON’T FALL FOR IT!
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**.
If it is good enough for this guy then its good enough for the average New Yorker is what I am screaming!
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.
Someone with the skills will post the picture of the comrade scolding Zhivago’s family for having too.big a home.
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.
Someone needs to rid NY of this filthy islamist posing as a communist.
Yes, this is a better arrangement, comrades. More just.
