Spruce said this earlier::
""But Mamdani is not even a communist, so once we exile Trump we should be fine. 😆 ""
I am reporting this article for the edification of all in this Forum. We will not have to waste ink debating just exactly what this guy says he will do. Call him a Communist or an easter Bunny. But look at the man. Se what he wants to do. Abolish Private Poperrty Ownership, give houses to people. And so forth. The link for th article is at the bottom of this post.
Zohran Mamdani's past comments are once again coming back to haunt his New York City mayoral campaign, as a resurfaced video reveals the socialist candidate floated the "abolition of private property."
"My platform is that every single person should have housing, and I think faced with these two options, the system has hundreds of thousands of people unhoused, right? For what?" Mamdani questioned in a resurfaced video that has been clipped and reposted across conservative social media.
"If there was any system that could guarantee each person housing, whether you call it the abolition of private property or you call it, you know, just a statewide housing guarantee, it is preferable to what is going on right now," Mamdani said.
The clip drew widespread condemnation from conservatives, including GOP Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, who told Fox News Digital, "He claims to be a socialist, whether it's wanting to abolish private property or wanting to seize the means of production, these are communist ideas right out of the playbook of Karl Marx."

There is a clip of his actually saying these things, I have heard it.
@AverageJoe1
I hope that the Spruce Lot will start posting credible posts. This could be tiresome. Sonhouse is tiresome enough.
I don't now how it will come down on Mamdani, who BTW will win, but I know that Spruce and others here defend communism.
