Description

Is Zahran Mamdani, the rising star in New York City’s mayoral race, truly a communist — or is it just political slander?
While Mamdani proudly identifies as a Democratic Socialist, former U.S. President Donald Trump has labeled him a “100% communist lunatic.” Right-wing politicians and media outlets have echoed similar claims.
But what do the facts say?
Experts who have analyzed Mamdani’s policies agree: he is not a communist.
Why not?
Because he does not advocate for:
• Abolishing private property
• Full government control of industry
• A single-party political system
Instead, his proposals include:
• Public grocery stores at the municipal level
• Free bus services
• Public childcare facilities
• Rent control policies
At the same time, Mamdani supports partnerships with small businesses and local farms and acknowledges the importance of the private sector, especially in areas like housing.
His vision isn’t about ending capitalism — it’s about reforming it to better serve everyday people.
Experts say Mamdani’s ideas resemble existing systems in France, Norway, and Canada — far from the rigid doctrines of communism.
So, is he a communist?
Or simply a progressive reformer caught in the crossfire of political fear-mongering?
