Mamdani’s definition of socialism sounds like state-controlled ‘totalitarianism’: critics
NY Post | 10/03/26 | Rich Calder
Far-left New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani offered an impassioned definition of socialism this week — one critics say rivals state-controlled totalitarianism — claiming in a podcast interview that it’s the job of the government to ensure the masses have “whatever you need.”
“Socialism, to me, it means that you will have whatever you need to live a dignified life and that it is the government’s job to deliver on that.”
… People talk about it as the extension of democracy . . .
— the extension of government intrusion —
. . . from the ballot box to the rest of your life.
“What do people mean by . . .
— government intrusion in —
. . . the rest of your life? They mean your workplace, your home, things like that.”
“When people say dignity, I want to be very clear, we’re talking about the things that allow you to take a breath: housing, childcare, public transit,” the mayor said. “No one should be priced out of these things. These are non-negotiables; you need these to live.”
— as is CO2, but that’s another discussion.
