Zohran Mamdani may be a lightweight in his own right, but as mayor, he’d bring an entire extremist movement along with him to City Hall, with dire consequences for the city. NY Post editorial page editor Mark Cunningham shares this story.
Mamdani can hem and haw all he likes, but he’s the face of a truly radical movement, the Democratic Socialists of America — which boasts of being truly anti-capitalist and indeed looking to “seize the means of production,” which is as Marxist as anyone could ask.
Zohran himself just a few years ago lectured about how socialists needed to be honest about these goals; that he’s changed his tune merely means he’s now more interested in winning elections.
After all, this is a guy who’s said that identifying himself as African-American just because he was born in Uganda would be fundamentally “misleading” — but did just that when applying to Columbia.
As mayor, he would at the very least bring a host of fellow DSA believers to the highest reaches of city government.
And the DSA is a lot harder left than the Working Families Party, which has always been mainly a vehicle for unions and other “progressive” special interests to boost their influence.
