New York’s false prophet: Mamdani and his socialist agenda vs. the working man
By Joseph Ford Cotto
There’s a dangerous illusion making its way through New York City: Zohran Mamdani.
This self-proclaimed socialist, fresh off his win in the Democratic mayoral primary last week, brands himself as a “working-class champion.” But scratch beneath the surface and it becomes clear he’s anything but.
Mamdani’s rise began after Bernie Sanders’ 2016 campaign inspired him to embrace democratic socialism and join the Democratic Socialists of America.
From the start, he pushed for massive tax hikes on the wealthy to bankroll sprawling social programs — ideas that might sound good on a college quad but threaten to crush small businesses and the very blue-collar workers he claims to protect.
When he won his State Assembly seat in 2020, Mamdani doubled down, campaigning on rent freezes and heavier corporate taxes.
It’s a familiar playbook: punish job creators and hope government can save the day.
