Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic primary for New York City mayor. This socialist candidate now faces a tough fight in the general election. Many Americans worry about his radical ideas.
Xi Van Fleet escaped communist China and sees danger in Mamdani’s plans. She lived through Mao’s brutal regime where government controlled everything. Van Fleet warns New Yorkers are abandoning freedom for socialism.
Socialism took away choices in her life. The government decided what food she got and where she worked. She sees the same path starting here with politicians like Mamdani.
Mamdani wants a $30 minimum wage by 2030. He plans to freeze all rent for stabilized apartments. His housing policy would replace private developers with city control.
These ideas sound good but would wreck our economy. Forcing businesses to pay sky-high wages kills jobs. Government-run housing always fails hardworking taxpayers.
Moderate Democrats like Eric Adams already oppose Mamdani. Business leaders call him an unqualified radical. They fear his policies would destroy New York City.
Socialism always starts with big promises. Then comes the shortages, the lost freedoms, and the suffering. China, Cuba, and North Korea show us this terrible truth.
New York must reject this path. Mamdani’s vision threatens the American way of life. Freedom-loving citizens must unite to stop socialism.
