Zoran Mamdanithe New York City mayor’s democratic socialist candidate fired from critics who labeled him as “communist.”
However, criticism may be as unfounded as Mamdani claims. The video shows NYC mayoral candidates who support language and theory rooted in the revolutionary Communist language.
In one 2021 video, Mamdani urges fellow socialists at a meeting not to compromise on goals like “Get the means of production.” In the same year, in the second video released on YouTube by the progressive advocacy group The Gravel Institute, Mamdani discusses the need to transform homes from private to public goods, calling for the replacement of luxury condominiums with co-style living such as shared laundry facilities and food cooperatives.

“Why do so many people become homeless?” Mamdani asks in the video. “That’s not because there aren’t enough homes to go around, there are a lot of empty houses. No, because people in the home are not the main goal of developers or landlords.

In the video, Mamdani refers to post-war communist Vienna. Housing Market It can do good for society. However, he admits he is currently in Vienna. “Residents still pay a portion of their rent income and live in private housing for a significant portion of their operating costs and population.”
After explaining the so-called Vienna model, he presented his vision of communal living in shared laundry, kitchens, food cooperatives, baths, pharmacies, auditoriums, swimming pools, and more.
“If you want to end the housing crisis, the solution needs to move towards a complete violation of the housing,” says Mamdani. “In other words, we move from the current situation where most people access homes by purchasing from the market and towards a future where we assure high quality housing for everyone as a human right.”
