His “youth movement” peddles the same Marxist poison that gutted economies from Chile to Yugoslavia: rent freezes that strangle housing, “seized means” rhetoric that annihilates small business, and fantasy economics that inflame the cost-of-living crisis he claims to solve. Starmer’s Labour? A Tory reboot with nicer branding—slashing pensions, fueling wars, and abandoning workers. But Mamdani’s “alternative” is worse: DSA-approved chaos where grocery stores become activist piggy banks and $XX wage mandates crush employers. NYC saw this playbook before—200k housing waitlists, bankrupt landlords, and services held hostage by ideological litmus tests. Mamdani’s not the future. He’s the epitome of why democratic socialism fails—every. Single. Time. Adams, Cuomo, Walden? They’re not perfect, but they’re adults. Mamdani’s a radical cosplaying as a reformer, and New Yorkers will pay the price when his slogans meet reality.
