Covering up class hatred.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Thursday put to rest any lingering doubt about whether or not he is a communist, when he said, to the disgust of people worldwide who have lived under the boot of socialist tyranny, “We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.” Hardest hit, however, although they will never, ever admit it, much less issue a retraction or an apology, are the many leftist establishment media news outlets that insisted during Mamdani’s mayoral campaign that he was not really a communist at all.
Mamdani’s statement during his recent inaugural address came as no surprise. Mamdani made his authoritarian inclinations clear last November, when he won the New York City mayoral election and said this during his victory speech: “We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve and no concern too small for it to care about.” It was also clear several years before Mamdani ran for mayor, when in 2021 he reminded a socialist audience about “other issues that we firmly believe in, whether it’s BDS or whether it is the end goal of seizing the means of production.”
As Intifada on the Hudson: The Selling of Zohran Mamdani shows, Mamdani has also made his communist tendencies clear on numerous other occasions. On his rapper Instagram account “bayaye27,” where he posted from 2015 to 2019, he used as the featured image not a photo of himself, but of the rapper Lil Wayne wearing a red shirt emblazoned with the word “COMMUNIST.” Nevertheless, the establishment media has been determined to ensure that whatever you may think of Zohran Mamdani, you must never, ever get the idea that New York City’s new mayor is a communist. Why, the very idea is absurd!
The establishment media has been particularly avid to brand this idea absurd because one of those who was advancing it was none other than President Donald Trump. On June 25, 2025, the day after Mamdani defeated Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic mayoral primary, Trump called Mamdani a “100% Communist Lunatic.” When asked if he really was a communist, as Trump had asserted, Mamdani was definite: “No, I am not.” He claimed that “Donald Trump is attacking me because he is desperate to distract from his war on working people. We must and we will fight back.” Mamdani also implied that Trump’s real motive was (of course!) racism and xenophobia. --->READ MORE HERE
Is New York City mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani a Communist? He says he is not, but that doesn’t mean much. After all, he knows he could not win running on the Communist Party line because it is not one of the nine political parties on the ballot in November.
Mamdani was groomed by his far left-wing parents to become a radical activist in the Communist mold. His father, Mahmood Mamdani, is a Marxist professor of African history at Columbia University, and his mother, Mira Nair, is a filmmaker and an anti-Israeli activist.
They gave Zohran the middle name of “Kwame,” after Kwame Nkrumah, the African dictator who was so admired by the Communists in the Soviet Union that they gave him the Lenin Peace Prize in 1962. This was not an odd choice—it made perfect sense given the politics of Zohran’s parents.
Zohran has long been immersed in his father’s writings, most of which are standard Marxist critiques of Western civilization. But it appears his mother’s Indian ancestry has also had an impact on him; he follows Indian politics quite closely.
In 2020, at age 21, Arya Rajendran was elected the mayor of Thiruvananthapuram, the capital of Kerala. She is a member of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) or CPIM. Zohran tweeted her a congratulatory note, calling her “Comrade,” which is classic Communist lexicon describing an ally. He made it clear that he was thinking about running for mayor of New York City, and was encouraged by her Communist victory. “So what kind of mayor does NYC need right now? Me.”
The Communist Party USA (CPUSA), loves Mamdani. After winning the primary, they said, “We stand with Zohran Mamdani against the racist and anti-Communist attacks on him….”
Joe Sims, co-chair of CPUSA, was ecstatic, bragging how Mamdani defeated Andrew Cuomo. “The double digit margin victory sent shockwaves throughout the democratic establishment—shockwaves through Wall Street. What an achievement! And I don’t know about you but it lifted me right up.”
People’s World is the successor to the Daily Worker, once the most prominent Communist publication in America. They also celebrated Mamdani’s primary victory, cheering his policy prescriptions and imploring Democratic leaders to follow suit. --->READ MORE HERE
