New Yorkers are on the verge of putting a radical Marxist in charge of their city—and the receipts are undeniable. A resurfaced video from 2021 shows Zohran Mamdani, the socialist mayoral nominee, declaring openly that his “end goal is to seize the means of production.” That isn’t some vague activist slogan—it’s textbook communism, said outright by the man who wants to run America’s biggest city.
Yet instead of sounding the alarm, the media is scrambling to protect him. PolitiFact rushed out to label claims that Mamdani is a communist as “false,” despite the fact that his own words match the literal definition. NBC News and even the Wall Street Journal have downplayed Mamdani’s radical agenda, fawning over his style while ignoring the danger in his ideology.
This isn’t some teenage phase Mamdani grew out of. This is who he is—someone who wants government-run grocery stores, wants to seize housing from landlords, wants to defund the police under the banner of “queer liberation,” and has pushed taxes on “whiter neighborhoods.” That’s not progress, and it’s not normal. It’s the same destructive ideology that has turned once-great cities into hollow shells across the globe.
Mamdani’s rise isn’t an isolated New York story. It’s a test run for the left’s dream of reshaping America in their image: government control of everything, “equity” enforced by bureaucrats, and dissent labeled as extremism. And the media is all in, eager to protect their next socialist star.
Don’t be fooled by Mamdani’s carefully curated activist image. He grew up in wealth, went to $60,000-a-year private schools, and got a Columbia degree while lecturing working Americans about oppression. Like every champagne socialist before him, Mamdani wants to live comfortably while forcing you to pay for his utopian experiments.
Americans need to understand what’s happening here. The left’s radicals don’t hide their goals anymore because they believe no one will stop them. They want to push their ideology into every major city, from New York to Los Angeles, until the nation itself is unrecognizable.
New York voters have a choice: continue down this road of chaos, crime, and economic ruin, or reject the radicalism that’s being pushed under the false banner of “progress.” If they ignore Mamdani’s own words now, they’ll regret it when the consequences hit home.
The fight against radical socialism is not a talking point. It’s a battle for the future of every American city—and it starts with telling the truth about who these people really are and what they plan to do if they get power.
