It’s been said that if you’re not a Communist at 20, you have no heart — but if you’re not a capitalist by 30, you have no brain. That’s all too befitting the sad farce of New York’s mayoral race, led by front-runner Zohran Mamdani.
How does Mamdani, as the only major candidate who comes close to the 20-30 age range, measure up?
Mamdani’s smiling, youthful energy attracted many real 20- to 30-year-old New Yorkers, as well as many older 20-somethings-at-heart.
His wealth of socialist/Communist ideas — abolishing private property, seizing the means of production, defunding the police, freezing rent, providing free public transportation, establishing government-run stores and more — make many such 20-somethings swoon.
Yet wiser and more sober minds know just how such notions would hurt the city.
Yes, Mamdani is over 30 — he’s 33 — but maybe he’s just a late bloomer, not having achieved much for his age.
Given his feather-light resume and fantasyland agenda, some over-30 supporters who should know better nonetheless assure us not to worry; he won’t be able to accomplish what he’s saying.
That’s a head-scratcher: They disagree with Mamdani’s core positions and also recognize his lack of ability and achievements — but will vote for him because he will fail at his agenda!
History abounds with the horrors of the communism that fuels his and his supporters’ ideologies.
Immigrants who experienced communism recoil at seeing it advocated here.
From 1917 to 1987, Communist regimes killed an estimated 169 million people through executions, purges, forced labor, torture, imprisonment and mass starvation — in Communist China, the Soviet Union, Angola, Cambodia, Cuba, Ethiopia, Poland and more. --->READ MORE HERE
Billionaire John Catsimatidis tells Fox News Digital Zohran Mamdani's campaign of 'free' goods is similar to the historic campaign run by Fidel Castro:
Gristedes grocery chain CEO and billionaire real estate mogul John Catsimatidis slammed Zohran Mamdani's policy agenda, comparing his campaign promises to that of Cuban and Venezuelan leaders, and doubted Mamdani's ability to win the New York City mayoral race after the democratic socialist secured a primary victory in June.
In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, the 76-year-old self-made billionaire said he believes Mamdani’s campaign technique of convincing New Yorkers they are getting "everything for nothing" is similar to communist leaders like Fidel Castro and could eventually prove harmful to the biggest city in the US.
"I mean this is silly," Catsimatidis told Fox News. "The same con game happened in Cuba with Fidel Castro. The same con game happened in Venezuela. [You] promise people everything. You're going to get everything for nothing."
"Well, the people in Venezuela are starving," Catsimatidis explained. "The people in Cuba are starving. It's just one big con game. And I think the American people, I think New Yorkers, especially New Yorkers, they're smart, they're going to realize this right away."
Mamdani, a 33-year-old New York State assemblyman, won an upset Democratic primary victory in June against an array of candidates, including former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Mamdani has made lofty campaign proposals like free bus service, free childcare, free City University of New York (CUNY) tuition, rent freezes and city-owned, reduced-cost grocery stores. --->READ MORE HERE
