Those Marxist Democrats
I & I Editorial Board
July 10, 2025
What will the Democratic Party’s 2028 platform look like? The way things are going, no one should be surprised if it looks like a manifesto written by a couple of bitter, revolutionary 19th century Germans.
Marxism is no longer on the Democratic Party fringe. It is taking it over.
We see this in the unpleasantness of Zohran Mamdani, the recent winner of the New York City mayoral primary.
The callow Mamdani describes himself as a “Democratic Socialist.” Fact-checkers, who seem to never fact check the incessant claims by the media and Democratic politicians and operatives that President Donald Trump and other Republicans are fascists, say he’s no communist.
While he might not be a card-carrying member of the Communist Party, several of his known positions are inarguably in line with Marxism.
Like Karl Marx, the privileged Mamdani, who calls himself a “BMW Bolshevik,” sees the world through the lens of class struggle. The platform of the Democratic Socialists of America, of which he is a member, “fights” for “the abolition of capitalism” as well as the “social ownership of all major industry and infrastructure,” two Marxist principles that Mamdani supports.
