“On your Marx, get set, Zo!”
— The New York Post’s anti-Mamdani front page headline published on Nov. 6,
just hours after democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani’s win
in the New York City mayor’s race
•
Zohran Mamdani’s election as New York City’s mayor-elect -— as commentator-extraordinaire Mark Levin recently said — is surely a sign of the Democratic Party’s shift toward the “radical, big-government socialist party.”
Indeed, in our view, Levin correctly referenced the win as evidence of the national Democratic Party’s embrace of an extreme left-wing agenda.
We also believe that the election of Mamdani is a reflection of NYC’s voters’ descent into an “Idiocracy.”
Mamdani’s policies and rhetoric have triggered concerns that his economic proposals, such as rent freezes and city-run grocery stores, are unworkable, unrealistic and too expensive.
Our criticisms of Mamdani’s economic proposals include his policies promising free bus service, universal childcare, and rent freezes, which are unaffordable and fiscally unrealistic. His “rent freeze” will discourage new housing development at a time when more housing is needed. His city-run grocery stores will be unworkable because grocery store profit margins are typically low, and other factors, such as inflation, are the primary drivers of high food costs.
As for Mamdani’s rhetoric and political stances, his use of this phrase “Globalize the intifada” has been — justifiably — widely condemned as inflammatory and offensive, especially by the U.S. Holocaust Museum, which called it “outrageous” and “especially offensive to survivors.”
While the mayor-elect’s opponents, including President Trump, have labeled him a “communist” because of his democratic socialist platform, the left-leaning AI Overview stated that “experts point out that his proposals do not include the key tenets of communism, such as a centrally planned economy or the abolition of private property.”
We see Mamdani as dangerous to our freedom, antisemitic, an Islamist, fundamentally anti-American and a left-wing lunatic. Farewell, NYC!
