There are 123 billionaires living in New York City. Zohran Mamdani, the socially and economically advantaged socialist boy who’s apparently never held a real job and is busy stoking class warfare as he campaigns to be the city’s next mayor, says they shouldn’t exist. Voters need to know that their city can get along just fine without Mamdani. But it would fall into a raging hellhole without billionaires.
“I don’t think that we should have billionaires because, frankly, it is so much money in a moment of such inequality, and ultimately, what we need more of is equality across our city and across our state and across our country,” Mamdani said last month on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
The views of an imbecile, or of a performative politician feeding his ego and trying to make up for a life of mostly idleness, apparently appeal to Gotham voters. Mamdani easily won the Democratic primary and is, for now, the favorite to win the general election in the fall.
For those who aren’t familiar with Mamdani, or need a refresher, he is a Democratic Socialist with Marxist urges that he doesn’t try to hide. As we noted last week:
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.
Mamdani is also promising ‘free stuff’ for New Yorkers, from bus trips to child care; proposes to freeze rents (to stick it to those greedy capitalist landlords, no doubt); wishes to ‘shift the tax burden … to more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods.’
