squistion 2,252 Posted August 5 "Seizing the means of production is from a 2021 speach Mamdani gave and from its context, it is unclear (per fact checkers) what exactly he meant by that and he has not called for that in his campaign for mayor. https://www.politifact.com/article/2025/jul/03/seizing-means-production-Zohran-Mamdani/ A Mamdani campaign spokesperson, Andrew Epstein, said, "There is nothing in his platform or in his record regarding seizing the means of production." On NBC’s Meet the Press, Mamdani said that he is not a communist and is fighting for working people and against income inequality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark Davis 401 Posted August 6 This is the only thing stopping the Dems from a really good 2026 is this kooky embrace of socialist/communist ideas. History tells us they'll win seats this cycle and almost any net gains flip the House. There should be no way they can screw that up. But the only ideas coming are just opposition to Trump or this off the reservation leftist economic ideology. They likely will fall over the finish line for flipping the House but the gymnastics some are doing to excuse Mamdani in particular is quite interesting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
