Mamdani’s victory party stirred controversy with its totalitarian themes and socialist rhetoric.
Well, for a guy who PolitiFact assured us was not a communist, Mamdani sure knows how to start a victory speech.
Zohran Mamdani, who is definitely not a communist!, starts his victory speech by quoting a communist pic.twitter.com/HTerAjmxnY— Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) November 5, 2025
Mamdani’s is exactly what you think he is: an antisemitic cultural Marxist whose entire worldview is driven by Critical Theory and intersectional politics. He hates America, or at least the America that you and I grew up in and which made him one of the wealthiest and most privileged people in the world, and is fully committed to replacing the current population with one that is dominated by a third-world mentality.
That’s not the opinion of somebody who has become poisoned by a fever dream and a commitment to white nationalism. It’s exactly what he says himself.
Zohran Mamdani’s victory speech tonight was reminiscent of something you would expect to hear from a dictator like Fidel Castro, not the Mayor of NYC.

His speech was filled with totalitarian language. “No problem too small for government to care about?” Really? His vision of “freedom” is geared toward “free”, at least for those in his preferred constituency. During the campaign, he explained that his plan was to raise taxes on white people—yes, he said that explicitly—and he made clear during his victory speech that to a great extent the goal was for the people he calls “oppressed” to get revenge on those who are their “oppressors.”
He doesn’t talk about climbing the ladder; his rhetoric is about storming the castle and looting it.

His victory party was filled with people ecstatic about doing just that. There is a whole list of people whom Mamdani and they want to, at least metaphorically, be first up against the wall. Of course, this being America and New York City in particular, where the mayor has enormous powers over some matters and hardly any over others, he will be more a supercharged Bill de Blasio than a Fidel Castro who can actually fulfill some of the promises he made.
I am looking forward to the analysis of just what he can and cannot do, and the extent to which he can implement his agenda. “Seizing the means of production” is unlikely to be in the cards, but regulating and taxing them to death will be sufficient in the long run to hobble the city.

Jewish New Yorkers do have a lot to fear. New York City is the largest Jewish city in the world by population, although the Tel Aviv metropolitan region holds more Jews than the New York City metro. New York City has already become hostile to Jews, especially Orthodox Jews, whom the government hounded during COVID and beyond.
Every Republican’s nightmare.
