Zohran Mamdani’s run for mayor of New York City is a clear and present danger to the stability, economic health, and democratic foundation of both the city and the nation.
His platform is rooted in a radical socialist ideology that has, time and time again, led to failure, repression, and suffering wherever it has been tried.
And thanks to a clip surfacing on social media today, we see that Mamdani is not hiding this. In fact, he has been strikingly open about what he believes and what he plans to do. You can listen to his comments for yourself here.
Speaking in 2021 at the Young Democratic Socialists of America Organizing Conference, Mamdani said his goal is to “continue to elect more socialists” and to be “unapologetic about our socialism.”
He followed that with two key objectives: boycotting Israel and “seizing the means of production.”
The phrase “seizing the means of production” is not some vague slogan—it is the core tenet of Marxist revolutionary ideology. It means that private property, businesses, and industries are taken from their owners and turned over to collective or state control.
Historically, this has been done not through elections or peaceful reform, but through authoritarian rule, state violence, and mass suppression.
...
He stated in 2021, “what the purpose is about this entire project, it’s not simply to raise class consciousness, but to win socialism.” He added that “we are doing both of these things in tandem… to also organize for what is correct and for what is right.”
This is the language of ideological revolution, not democratic governance.

It’s always seized from the owners for the masses, but inevitably it just gets new owners, the communist party elites/dictators.
The workers get bupkis.
Hail to the new boss, same as the old boss.
“Democratic socialist” = Communist.
One and the same. On top of that, he’s an Islamist. New Yorkers are insane if they elect this guy. They deserve all they’re gonna get.
He’ll do it “right” this time. Just like castro and chez. Living high on the hog while the masses starve. 🖕 him!
Legal immigrants can be booted for such behavior.
Socialist crap being spewed.
He is at odds with the U.S. Constitution and our culture. He is a cancer to The Republic. I do see evil in his eyes.
“Liberalism is just Communism sold by the drink.”
— P.J. O’Rourke
Fine. That’s why the Founding Fathers set the system up this way. If somebody wants to be stupid enough to try Communism in their little corner of the world, give it a shot. Let us know how that works out for you.
Let’s creat a motto:
Communism - Ceasing the Means of Production.
Yes, I’ve often heard, that problems of communist countries were because the theories of Marx and Engels just weren’t implemented properly.
So apparently, people such as Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Fidel, just weren’t very good communists......
History is strew with the wreckage of Socialism from New Harmony to modern-day Venezuela, yet there’s always one idiot that thinks he is smarter than anyone else in history and wants to implement Socialism. I’d hate to see NYC disappear. Surely the voters of NYC aren’t that stupid.
Madman am I won’t be either. Sorta like 3 house socialist burnknee scamders.
Seize the means of production, my arse.
Seize communism by its demonic throat and choke the life out of it.
This tyranny by leaders legitimizes criminal activity and there are plenty of criminals in the Democrat Party who will jump at the chance to demonstrate their thuggish natures. Eventually, the thugs will be competing with each other for positions in the mob hierarchy of the new government. It will be organic. No planning required.
NY City has no “means of production.”
The city exists entirely off America’s (corrupted) printed, fiat, monetary system, courtesy of the Federal Reserve and its controlling banks.
NY City is already socialist - it exists on skimmings from Wall Street financialization, and is given $Billions by government in aid for its bloated city government and welfare state.
Its natural that these entitled socialist wh*res would elect a young, immature marxist demanding even more free sh**.
You omitted an important bit….when The Workers discover they’re getting short changed they’ll be forcibly suppressed by the regime. Guns and power for the regime but not the Little Ppl.
