Peter Lumaj, a former Senate candidate, warns against the influence of far-left progressive ideas in the U.S. after Zohran Mamdani's primary victory. He believes Mamdani's promotion of communist values, including economic control and property redistribution, threatens American foundations. Lumaj cites past failures of similar ideologies in countries like Eastern Europe and Venezuela. He urges caution against these ideas gaining traction in the U.S., stressing they do not align with American principles. Mamdani has advocated for ambitious socialist policies like student debt cancellation, which he claims have popular support.
"This guy openly wants to promote communist values in our country, and this is not compatible with the foundation of this country when he wants to have command and control over the economy, forced redistribution of property. These are things that have been tried in Eastern Europe. They were tried in the Soviet Union. They're being tried in Venezuela, Cuba, you name it, and they are a complete failure."
"We must not allow this to spread in the United States because this is not American at all."
"Right now, if we're talking about the cancellation of student debt, if we're talking about Medicare for all, these are issues which have the groundswell of popular support across this country."
