Do you think you will build housing with 'Community Power"? Who is going to do these jobs?. Will contractors work for free? If there are no paychecks, you may be bitten by Self-Interest !!! Horrors, Ayn Rand. But you would have no recourse. No one is going to build an elevator because people want to go up-and-down. Build it for free to serve the happy-go-lucky citizens?
Mamdani is saying that he can run a major city economy on good intentions to serve the community. ....It will all come crashing down when put into practice. Nothing wrong with doing things for the community...but he says he can run an economy, housing, infrastructure, transportation, on COMMUNITY POWER!! From whence will the power come??
When it all goes south, MAMDANI WILL NOT BE THERE, ON A STRANDED TRAIN!!! He will be in a limousine. You will be on the train. Stranded.
You see, Socialism is for the people....not for the Socialists.
