Zohahran Mamdani33 years old who grew up Lead The mayor of New York city describes himself as a democratic socialist in democratic primary. But some politicians and social media posts labeled him as a Communist.
President Donald Trump called Mamdani “100% Communist Pagal” in the Truth Social Post on June 25.
Conservative Podcast Host Nick Sortor wrote on X on June 23, “Zoharan Mamdani is not even a socialist. He is complete on the Communist,” he shared a video clip of Mam Mamdani. “Left beyond the Bernie Sanders.
The Conservative Website The Daily Wire’s Cofounder Ben Shapiro said on his podcast, “The Big News of the Day: Communist will be the next mayor of New York.”
Representative Alice Stephanic also wrote on X that Mamdani is a “Communist”.
Mamdani’s platform is urged to make transport, houses and grocery goods more affordable, but experts say they did not follow the main principles of communism such as government acquisition of industry and private property.
Anna Grazimala-Buchee, a professor at Stanford University, wrote the polytopact in the email, “Mamdani is not a Communist,”. “Communism includes a centrally planned economy, no market power. Prices and quantities are fixed by the rights of the central government. There is no democratic political competition and instead a party has ruled the country. He does not appeal to any of these.”
Accusing the Communist or Communist sympathy for the Democrats is a frequently misleading attack by some Republican people. This has been a red fears that existed in US politics for decades, but the success of some democratic socialists, including Bernie Sanders, a member of the American Senate.
On June 24, Mamdani made a national headquarters after acknowledging this by former New York governor Andrew Koomo Primary?? Mamdani is expected to win when the city rank completes the selected voting process. Mamdani’s office did not respond to our requests to the comment.
In November, Mamdani Republican candidate Curtis Sliva will contact Eric Adams, the founder of the Civilian Criminal-Labor Group Guardian Angels and the independent. Koomo opened the door to run as independent.
The White House did not respond to the requests made for comment.
Some city-owned grocery shops, other affordable policies are required on the platform of Mamdani
Mamdani is known as a democratic socialist representing the Queens Boro in the New York State Assembly.
Mamdani was supported by the US New York City Democratic Socialists, which is a member.
This group has defined its target as “the main financial drivers who have dominated your life like energy production and transport” and “the general public has a real sound in their workplace, neighborhood area and society”.
Mamdani platform includes freezing rent for tenants in buildings with preferring caps on prices increase in terms of lease. He also proposed to build a city -owned grocery store and in a June interview to the spectrum News NY1, he would start from the grocery store in every bark model in the municipality owned by the municipality in Kansas.
They proposed to take free buses and children’s care and corporate tax rates and raise minimum wages.
Mamdani does not call to get rid of private ownership. The goal included on its website is “starting and running a business fast, easy and cheap”.
He told the New York Times that he changed his views on the role of a private market in housing construction and said, “I am now clearly recognized that there should be an important role.” This story connects to Mamdani’s website, which needs to build affordable housing for the public sector but without possession of all the houses.
What are the differences between communism and democratic socialism?
We sent highlights from Mamdani’s platform to seven experts in educational subjects including political science, law and anthropology. No one has concluded that Mamdani is a Communist.
Jeffrey Kurtz, an associate professor of the Political Science of the Baro Manhattan Community College of New York City University, said, “The idea that Mamdani is a communist is a foolish condemnation.”
When the US politicians use democracy socialism, they refer to generous social insurance programs, such as caring for a large amount of subsidized children with higher tax rates, including higher tax rates to pay for education and health care.
Barch College professor Ted Henkeen said that Mamdani does not try to destroy private property or to take over any industry government. Instead, Mamdani proposes a targeted intervention to solve the highest living expenses in New York city, Henkeen said.
Henkeen said, “Those who support New Yorkers feel that they propose to pay attention to this crisis, not because of any communist thinking in their favor,” Henkeen said.
“For example, ideas in his city-vendor grocery store do not propose or propose to take possession of private grocery chains (he already receives city grants), but they are complementary to the city-store,” said Henkeen.
Mamdani has said “Redirecting funds in the city owned by the corporate supermarket”, but did not say that the corporate market would be free from the market. Mamdani said the city owned markets would work in private ownership small businesses and fields.
Political theory experts said that many proposals of Mamdani have been in existence for decades in other democracy.
“There are policies such as free or strongly subsidized children in many western democracy, from France to Canada,” said Ojna Shewal, a associate professor of comparative politics of Tufs University.
Under the Communist Agenda, the government will own everything and control the prices completely, not just a few supermarkets rent or operate. And there are no political parties other than the Communist Party under Communism.
“He is not advocating,” said the tail. “No, he is not a Communist.”
Harve Klehar, a university expert of the history of American Communism, said that democratic socialism emerged as an alternative to communism.
“According to the minimum theory, they reject communist concepts such as Communist Vinaya with the Democracy and Representative Democracy, as well as Communist Biswas on the State ownership of the product.”
Experts say there are reasonable criticism of Mamdani’s proposals, but this does not make his proposals Communist.
Our decision
Trump said that Mamdani is a Communist.
Mamdani’s mayor’s platform is proposed to make New York City more affordable, including free buses and day care, rent control and city-owned grocery stores. It is not like Communism, a system in which the government controls the product’s device and occupies the private business. Mamdani did not demand the removal of private ownership.
He did not call another principle of Communism to eliminate democracy and political politics.
