Zohran Mamdani...

No thanks.

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.

In the video, Mamdani points to post-war communist Vienna as an example of how removing privatization from the housing market can be good for society. However, he does concede that currently in Vienna, "residents still pay part of their earnings in rent to cover operational costs and a sizable chunk of the population lives in private housing."

After describing the so-called Vienna model, during which he puts forth a vision of communal living with shared laundry, kitchens, food co-ops, bathhouses, pharmacies, lecture halls, swimming pools and more, he suggests a way forward that includes establishing "community land trusts to gradually buy up housing on the private market and convert it to community ownership."

"If we want to end the housing crisis, the solution has to be moving toward the full de-commodification of housing," Mamdani says. "In other words, moving away from the status quo in which most people access housing by purchasing it on the market and toward a future where we guarantee high quality housing to all as a human right."

Private property =/= personal property. He's talking about ending housing and an investment vehicle for rich people and using it to actually...house people. It's sad that that is such a radical concept. We do not need a parasitic rentier class. We need affordable housing.

He believes in DISMANTLING the police permanently. He will replace the NYPD with "Department of Community Safety" with unarmed security and social workers.

Unfortunately he's not born in the US. But if he was he probably would get the JFK treatment.

Loneliness, especially among youth and young adults, is at an all time high in the US. A movement towards more communal living g sounds great to me! I was never happier than when I lived in my tiny NYC apartment with roommates and using the laundromat downstairs.

As are American Jews. I am appalled at the outright bigotry over the lack of one iota of empathy of Palestinian lives especially the children and then God forbid an American muslim runs for public office. They are ready to spend days, ad nauseam, spreading lies about him and send death threats to him and his loved ones. Nevermind the fact that his mom is not even muslim and he grew up in a secular house also celebrating Diwali and Holi.....

Ask yourself:

Who else rose to power promising things? "people's cars," radios in every house, etc. He also made scapegoats of people and blamed them for problems.

If only the Palestinian children's lives could have been saved by releasing the hostages and Hamas's surrender. That could have happened on October 8. Every one of those children's lives would have been saved.

[Anonymous]

Downplaying Palestinian terrorism and Hamas's deliberate planning and starting of this war is just plain Jew hate.

As Jihadists push through the Sahel into Ivory Coast, displacing millions and killing Black people, where is the outrage? There isn't any. What about Sudan which has similar Arab racism against Blacks causing genocide?

Professor Mamdani is a liar with his settler colonialist bullshit, and his son is a chip off the old block.

Sure. But nobody is stopping you from doing exactly that.

Omg there have just been threads recently about the decline of happy hour (consensus: I don't want to see coworkers any more than necessary), socializing with neighbors (I don't even wave hi to my neighbors), brick and mortar stores being too packed with riff raff to patronize. But you're all Gung ho about sharing a communal kitchen and laundry with the Maga family next door? Love it.
