NYC mayoral hopeful pledges to lower grocery prices by implementing communism
One of the loony Democrats running for mayor in New York City has pledged to lower prices by basically implementing communism.
His name is Zohran Mamdani, and he’s out there, so much so that he’s proposed city-run grocery stores on the basis that removing profits from the equation would magically resolve price and supply chain issues.
“This is an opportunity to show what the price could actually be if we were being honest about supply chain issues, honest about the impact of profits as part of this equation,” he told The New Republic in March.
The socialist candidate for mayor even made a video promoting his idea:
“Everywhere I go, I hear New Yorkers talking about the outrageous prices of groceries. This is a bold and workable plan,” he said of his idea in a separate interview with The New York Times.
“If we want to bring these New Yorkers back to the Democratic Party, then we have to show them that we’re serious about making their life more affordable,” he added.
Mamdani doubled, tripled, and quadrupled down months later in an interview earlier this month with Spectrum News, this time calling for rent control, free busing, and even free childcare.
He’s also started championing the equally absurd idea of removing the police from high-crime areas and replacing them with unarmed social workers:

There's no such thing as a "free" service, someone else is paying.

He is leading in the polls. NYC loves the nanny state.

Hopefully this happens and they put film crews with the social workers.
Will be highly entertaining but graphic.

That’s going to be one hell of a food desert.

maybe they need to elect him and learn a lesson- although deblasio evidently taught them nothing

Another wall needs constructing in America if this Socialist is elected, a wall around NY City.
No federal rax dollars should go to any of these Marxist run sanctuary cities, none, zero.
They have the right to vote for their governments, ut they don't have a right to our federal tax dollars to bail them out.

We cant underestimate how lost in the bubble some of these cities are. What sounds insane and unamerican to most of us looks like Xanadu to lefties.
New Yorkers are watching a Punjabi Muslim Socialist Ugandan-born immigrant talking about becoming mayor and collectivizing grocery stores, and this sounds awesome to them.

FINALLY…one that’s not even trying to hide it anymore.

Because the Dems will "make sure of it". The idiots in NYC are dumb enough to vote Commie, but also dumb enough to be controlled by the Elite

An Islamic communist. Yup sounds like NYC to me.
