“Zohran Mamdani’s promise to seize the properties of landlords he deems unworthy should send a chill down the spine of every New Yorker. ‘When necessary, we will take aggressive legal action to remove negligent owners and property managers,’ the socialist mayor told a cheering crowd of leftists in Brooklyn Tuesday when he unveiled his ‘block by block’ housing plan. ‘For buildings that have suffered chronic neglect, we will work to transfer ownership to responsible stewards [including] community land trusts, nonprofits, or even the tenants themselves.’ Wherever in history his Marxist prescriptions have been applied, misery and tyranny follow — from Stalin to Mao to Pol Pot, 100 million deaths were caused by communist regimes in the 20th century alone.” (05/27/26)
