Zahran MamdaniThe Social Democratic candidate for the position of mayor of New York City, to the shooting of critics who describe him as a “communist” – a charge that he rejects as distraction.
However, criticism may not be baseless like Mamdani’s claims. Videos show the nominee of the mayor of New York City, who adopts the language and theories rooted in the communist revolution.
In a video in 2021, Al -Mamdani urges his socialist colleagues at a conference to not solve goals like “Seizure of production means.” In a second video clip, which was released on YouTube by the Gravel Institute in the same year, Mamdani discusses the need to transfer housing from a special commodity to one in general, and called for replacing luxury apartments with sectarian living that will include things such as joint laundry facilities and cooperation with food.

“Why do many people end without shelter?” Mamdani asks in the video. “Not because there is not enough homes to wrap, there are many empty houses.
According to Mamdani, this is a problem. I regret the video that housing is a “consumer product, just like clothes or cars” that private companies sell in the market to make a profit. As a result, Mamdani complains, there are many housing for “The Rich” but almost not almost enough opportunities for poor people and the working class.
“[It’s] “Housing should not be seen as a market at all” is ineffective or beneficial to the rest of society.

In the video, Mamdani refers to Communist Vienna after the war as an example of how to remove privatization from Housing market It can be good for society. However, he admits that he is currently in Vienna, “The population is still paying part of their lease profits to cover operational costs and a large part of the population who live in private housing.”
After describing the so -called Vienna model, during which he puts a vision for collective living with joint laundry, kitchens, cooperation with foodstuffs, preparations, pharmacies, lecture halls, swimming pools, and more, the road to the front that includes “identifying” community lands to buy housing gradually on the private market and converting them into community ownership. “
“If we want to end the housing crisis, the solution must move towards canceling the full infiltration of housing,” says Mamdani. In other words, stay away from the current situation in which most people reach housing by buying it in the market and towards a future, as we guarantee high -quality housing for all as human rights. “
