Democratic mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani and his comrades at the Democratic Socialists of America want to wipe out the enforcement of all misdemeanor offenses, The Post has learned.
In its most recent platform, the group blasts policing and detention as “instruments of class war” designed to “guarantee the domination of the working class” — and demands an end what it calls “the criminalization of working-class survival.”
“For all of the working class to achieve collective liberation we must constrain, diminish, and abolish the carceral forces of the state — from prisons and police themselves, to their manifestations in all forms throughout society,” according to the national party’s latest platform, adopted in 2021.
On the campaign trail, Mamdani has repeatedly called for police to stop focusing on what he’s referred to as “non serious crimes.”
“Police have a critical role to play but right now we’re relying on them to deal with the failures of our social safety net, which is preventing them from doing their actual jobs,” he said in a campaign video posted to X Wednesday.
The DSA has also pushed to slash arrests, gut prosecutors’ budgets, abolish cash bail and all forms of pre-trial detention, scrap electronic monitoring, and end imprisonment for parole violations.
Mamdani...has questioned the purpose of prisons and repeatedly called to roll back punishment on so-called “non-violent offenses” – both as an Albany lawmaker and in his Gotham mayoral campaign.
He doubled down on his longstanding push to legalize prostitution this week.
On the campaign trail, Mamdani backtracked from his prior ‘defund the police’ views in the wake of the Park Avenue massacre, insisting he’d keep the NYPD roughly at its current size and redirect officers to focus only on “serious” crimes.

And then you can reclassify felonies as misdemeanors. Voila, no more crime!
This gives good insight into the jumbled rat’s-nest of left wing thinking.
In his view, criminals equate to working class.
So along with “working girls”, we now have “working shoplifters”, “working physical assaulters”, working prowlers and thiefs, etc., etc.
Who’s gonna guarantee minimum wage and benefits?
Sounds like The Zohan wants vigilante justice in a big way.
Oh, let him do it! There won’t be a single private business in NYC open within a month. Everything will shut down. No one will be on the streets except criminals. Let those bleeding heart leftist morons feel the warm embrace of multiculturalism in full.
He views crime as redistribution of wealth.
Anarcho-tyranny, writ large. Does he identify the “critical role” that the police will play?
The new face of the democrat party touts the same old tired liberalism.
Question: is this guy completely nuts?
> Mamdani is the anti-Sliwa. <
For sure he’s the anti-Giuliani. When he was NYC mayor, Rudy successfully applied the “broken windows” theory of policing. Don’t ignore the small crimes. Because then you’ll get bigger crimes.
Mamdani is arguing the opposite. Go ahead and ignore the small crimes.
New Yorkers will soon see who has the better plan.
(But of course we already know.)
Would this mean that all goods under $1000 are free? Just walk into any store, find the stuff you want, and walk out? Communism sure is cool!!
It’s going to be bittersweet watching New York destroy itself.
Zohran Mamdani wants to end all misdemeanor charges: ‘E-ZPass for criminals’
—
Next up, Zorro declares all crimes are misdemeanors.
John, is this you writing this?
No - this is right out of the communist playbook. Destroy the existing society by abandoning the government’s laws to increase distrust of government. EG “See? Government doesn’t work so you need my communist elixir to save you!” Then establish the secret police that enforce the SECRET laws that the dictators want enforced. Basically gang law where you’re a controlled serf.
Happened in Venezuela and they’re trying to do it here.
They also abandoned Defund the Police because Obama realized the term isn’t working for them and ordered a new narrative.
It’s too bad NYC ignores Chicago. It could serve as a cautionary tale worth paying attention to
> Question: is this guy completely nuts? <
It’s really odd. Mamdani already has the crazy leftist communist vote. You’d think he’d try to attract some middle-of-the-road folks.
But that’s not what he’s doing. His pro-crime stance will scare average voters. But that assumes the average voters are paying attention. Maybe they’re not.
Now there is an insightful post!
The words are straight out of Karl Marx. “class warfare”, “collective liberation”, “domination of the working class”, etc.
