Eric Adams exhibits Mamdani for having quoted Karl Marx in the publication of social media in 2020

The mayor of New York, Eric Adams, joined the criticism of Zohran Mamdani, saying that the candidate of the Democratic Party is too radical to become the next mayor of Big Apple.

A large part of this criticism surrounding Mamdani comes from its story to kick the radical political ideology, often linked or rooted in a communist style language.

Adams, who ran in 2021 as a Democrat in his first election as mayor, but chose to present himself as independent this time, shared a Mamdani social media post installed in 2020 while campaigning for a seat in the assembly of New York State. The post that Adams shared understood nothing more than the following simple message shared by Mamdani: “Each according to their needs, each according to their capacity.”

For the user of social media less inclined to politically, the message may seem harmless, but, in reality, it is a direct quote from Karl Marx, a revolutionary socialist who wrote the famous “communist manifesto” with his colleague philosopher socialist Friedrich Engels at the end of the 19th century.

Adams clearly clarified it in his rest of Mamdani’s quotation in May 2020 of Marx.

“- Karl Marx, author of the Communist Manifesto” Adams subtitled in his rest of the original publication of Mamdani who cited Marx’s writings of his book entitled “Critique of the Gotha program”.

Since the primary victory of Mamdani’s shock last month, beating New York politico and former state governor, Andrew Cuomo, the questions have surfaced to find out if his opinions as self-proclaimed socialists have been too radical for someone who wants to be mayor of the largest city in the United States.

Critics stressed, for example, comments that Mamdani made at a Young Democratic Socialist of America conference in 2021, during which the member of the Assembly of the Tell to participants Do not compromise on objectives such as “seize the means of production”.

In a separate video of 2021 published online by the Gravel Institute, Mamdani discusses The need to transform the accommodation of private goods to public goods. In the video, he called luxury condos to be replaced by a common style life that would include things like shared mouth and food cooperatives.

“If we want to put an end to the housing crisis, the solution must move to the full destruction of the accommodation,” said Mamdani.

Meanwhile, it was not only the radical comments of Mamdani who made the headlines, it was also the comments of his teacher Ivy Lege, that Mamdani attributes to help shape his political opinions as a youngster, according to an article in the New York Times chronizing Mamdani’s relationship with his parents.

During a round table in 2022 organized by the Société Asia, Mamdani’s father, Mahmood, said that America was the “genesis of what we call the colonialism of colonialism” in the world. He also said that Adolf Hitler attracted his inspiration to the Holocaust of Abraham Lincoln.
