Let me be perfectly clear: New York City is not a socialist laboratory. It is the beating heart of American capitalism, or at least it used to be, before radicals like Zohran Mamdani decided they wanted to turn it into Havana on the Hudson.
Mamdani calls himself a Democratic Socialist, but let’s stop sugarcoating it, he’s a socialist, period. And socialists don’t build; they bleed. They drain the life out of every city they touch. Look around at every place where their ideas take root: businesses flee, families struggle, and the middle class becomes an endangered species.
This man wants to run New York like it’s some kind of social experiment where everything is free, no one is accountable, and success is treated like a crime. He preaches about equity while plotting to tax ambition out of existence. He doesn’t see the city’s entrepreneurs, landlords, or job creators as partners in progress, he sees them as villains.
The reality is simple: socialism sells dreams and delivers decay. You can’t fund every fantasy with other people’s money forever. Eventually, the bill comes due, and it’s always the working people who pay for it.
Mamdani’s platform is built on envy, not opportunity. He talks about fairness while promoting dependency. He speaks of justice while undermining the very freedoms that make justice possible. That’s not leadership, that’s manipulation wrapped in moral posturing.
And let’s not ignore the obvious: under his kind of government, crime would rise, businesses would vanish, and taxpayers would bolt for the nearest state with common sense. Because no sane person wants to live in a city where the government owns everything and personal responsibility means nothing.
If Mamdani wants to live in a socialist utopia, there are plenty of places around the world that have tried it, and failed miserably. But New York City should never be one of them.
We need a mayor who believes in growth, not grievance. Who celebrates success, not punishes it. Who understands that prosperity doesn’t come from government handouts, it comes from grit, work, and freedom.
So to Mr. Mamdani, I’ll say this: your ideas might make for a catchy campaign speech, but they make for a catastrophic city. New Yorkers are not fools, and we’re not about to hand over the greatest city in the world to the socialist dreamers who would destroy it.
Because New York doesn’t need socialism, it needs salvation from it.
