Zohran Mamdani’s DSA playbook isn’t resurrection—it’s rigor mortis dressed as policy. Rent freezes? Sweden’s 60s-era controls caused decade-long housing shortages. City-run grocery stores? A WSJ-confirmed “blueprint for collapse” that even India’s socialist bloat couldn’t stomach. Mamdani’s not reviving liberalism—he’s replicating the IAS-driven failures of his grandfather’s corrupt Indian bureaucracy, where activist councils replaced public input with ideological enforcement.

His “fare-free everything” is fiscal fantasy—Chile’s Allende tried that, spiking inflation to 300%. NYC’s DSA isn’t tapping into hope—it’s draining taxpayer wallets to fund nonprofit grifts and unaccountable programs.

Mamdani’s record? Straight-up economic malpractice. Adams kept the city functional; Mamdani’s utopia would torch it.
