Zohran Mamdani, a candidate for New York City mayor, faced backlash after a video surfaced of him advocating for the abolition of private property. The clip, which emphasized his belief that everyone should have housing, was widely shared by various right-wing figures, including Ted Cruz and Elise Stefanik. Mamdani argued that guaranteed housing for all is preferable to the current system, which leaves many without homes. Critics labeled him a communist, expressing concern over his views and calling for condemnation from New York leadership.
Zohran Mamdani states: "My platform is that every single person should have housing and I think faced with these two options, the system has hundreds of thousands of people unhoused right now for what?"
Mamdani emphasizes, "If there was any system that could guarantee each person housing, whether you call it the abolition of private property or you call it, you know, just a statewide housing guarantee. It is preferable to what is going on right now."
