From Fox News: Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party’s candidate for New York City mayor and a self-proclaimed socialist, is once again garnering backlash for previous comments he has made espousing language steeped in radical socialist and communist ideology.
Mamdani, this time, is getting blasted for calling on the government to “seize” luxury condos to house the homeless during the coronavirus pandemic.
The unearthed remarks, stemming from a March 2020 social media post, followed news of separate rediscovered remarks from Mamdami touting the need to “de-commodify” housing through replacing luxury condos with communal-style living that would include things like shared laundry facilities and food co-ops.
“The oligarchs who want us to return to work to goose the stock market are the same ones with thousands of luxury condos as investment properties, sitting empty while NYers die on the streets & in shelters,” Mamdani wrote on social media in response to a news report claiming the first homeless person in New York City with the coronavirus had passed away amid the pandemic.
“Seize these properties,” Mamdani demanded in his post, written while campaigning for the New York State Assembly. “House the homeless. Enact a #HomesGuarantee.”
Mamdani’s March 25, 2020 post is still up on his X page.

Seize these properties.
House the homeless.
Enact a #HomesGuarantee. https://t.co/aKfr8BgIvJ

Last Sunday, fraud investigator Sam Antar commented on Mamdani’s old post, writing, “Zohran Mamdani lives in a rent-stabilized apartment, launched his career from his mother’s $2M Chelsea loft, benefited from Columbia-subsidized Riverside Drive housing through his father, and owns land in Uganda.
“He’s raised $1.9 million through PACs and bundlers—while calling for the end of private property as we know it. The class war always skips his family’s assets.”

Mamdani is being blasted over his old tweet:
This man cannot be put in charge of the city. Seizing other people’s property is such an insane and illegal concept. https://t.co/ZGqxHpiR6p

Imagine idiots voting for a politician who doesn’t understand this is a free country where the government just can’t seize your property. The delusion coming from this unserious politician is astonishing. https://t.co/cg3x5GAl4R

In a 2021 video, Mamdani called for the government to buy up private housing.
“We can establish community land trusts to gradually buy up housing on the private market and convert it to community ownership,” he touted in the video.
