Zohran Mamdani’s first months in office have confirmed his radical socialism—but his family’s experience in Africa makes this worldview very surprising.
Like most famous communists, Mamdani is from a wealthy family and never really had to work. So was Fidel. So was Che. So was Trotsky. So was Lenin. Marx's family was very well off as well. Like all these heroes of the proletariat, his family's wealth shielded him from the real world experiences that would have moderated his uninformed worldview.
For some people, revenge is preferable to empathy. The lesson learned by Mamdani from Uganda was not that scapegoating an ethnic minority and forcing them to leave for their own safety is bad, but that it's a quick way to gain power and wealth.
Like most Moslems in US politics, socialism is merely the vehicle to power. The young and the stupid can always be seduced. The real purpose of the power is Islam
Equitation only works if applied everywhere at once w/o relief via mobile assets & emigration. So: planetize currency, taxes , commo, information, investment, education etc ad infinitum. This will proceed rapidly over next 200 years. Hangenzie in, bitte!
I read this thread for more thoughtful commentary - this is a pretty unhelpful perspective - typically invoking an equivalence between communism and socialism and the idea that Mamdani is like Amin is too much.
Turn nyc’s economy into one like uganda’s for the same sort of gain gotten by the bureaucracy of idi amin? Can nyc issue a recall on their mayoral vote?
The only people “surprised” by Mamdani’s politics are those who don’t understand Islamo-communism.
In the early 70s, the KGB made a deal with some key Muslim leaders to work together to “destroy the West”.
And they put out pictures of Fidel Castro & Arafat as a sort of wedding announcement. The pics are easily found online.
And the international community of communists & Islamists and Muslims got the message. That’s why the real Left (Marxists) is heavily on the side of Muslims all over the West.
The KGB cannily saw that Muslim “expansionist” theories aligned with their own.
My Cuban communist uncles (who fought alongside Fidel in the Sierra Maestra) trained “Arabs to kill, they’re clueless” in North Africa in the early 70s.
Communist Cubans have fought & died on the side of Muslims & Islamists in Algerian-Moroccan war, the Ogden War & more surreptitiously in many other African conflicts.
Mamdani is an Islamo-communist.
We Cubans have known about them since the 70s.
They’re an evil scourge & are to be taken very seriously by the West, because their aim is to destroy you from within.

Read Bronkema infra...
I'm pretty sure no one will read this story about Mamdani's family background in the NYTimes.
You’re assuming NY Times adherents can read (with comprehension).

Socialism and communism are the same ideology
Socialism violates personal freedom
Socialism is contrary to human nature
Socialism violates private property
Socialism is against traditional marriage
Socialism violates parental rights in education
Socialism tolerates absolutely no differences and no inequality
Socialism promotes atheism
Socialism promotes relativism
Socialism mocks religion

What a phony!
I'm not convinced we've ever had 'refugee camps' here in the UK. Could you point me to your sources, please?
This points out interestingly similar viewpoints between two like-minded Socialists. Thanks.
Like father like son. But you'd think the elder learned a life lesson, but guess not, not for academics and spawns.
Comparing Mamdami’s policy to Idi Amin’s is a complete nonsense. Amin was a crazy dictator Mamdami is acting in a (still) civilized democracy.
It's a matter of time.
