Eric Adams exposes Mamdani for quoting Karl Marx in 2020 social media post
New York City Mayor Eric Adams has recently voiced his concerns about Democratic Party candidate Zohran Mamdani, labeling him as too radical to lead the city. This criticism of Mamdani stems from his history of promoting radical political ideologies, often rooted in communist-style language.
Adams highlighted a social media post from Mamdani in 2020 during his campaign for a seat in the New York State Assembly. The post featured a quote from Karl Marx, a revolutionary socialist known for his work on the “Communist Manifesto.” Adams shared the post, drawing attention to the fact that Mamdani was quoting Marx, a figure associated with radical socialist ideologies.
Since Mamdani’s surprising primary win, questions have arisen regarding the feasibility of his socialist views as a potential mayor of New York City. Critics point to statements Mamdani made at a Young Democratic Socialists of America conference, urging attendees not to compromise on goals like “seizing the means of production.” Additionally, Mamdani has advocated for transforming housing from a private commodity to a public one, suggesting communal-style living as a solution to the housing crisis.
Furthermore, comments made by Mamdani’s father, Mahmood, a prominent Ivy League professor, have also made headlines. Mahmood Mamdani has been attributed to shaping his son’s political views, asserting that America was the “genesis of settler-colonialism” and controversially claiming that Adolf Hitler drew inspiration for the Holocaust from Abraham Lincoln. These statements have added fuel to the debate over Zohran Mamdani’s radicalism.
Despite these criticisms, Zohran Mamdani has not responded to requests for comment from Fox News Digital. As the mayoral race in New York City heats up, the debate over Mamdani’s radical policies continues to divide opinions on his suitability to lead the city.
