So Mamdani is a Communist and North Korea is a Communist state so......
Yes it does. I prefer capitalism (with some controls), but socialism does work.
Yes it has...and yes it will.
That is not a core need for socialism...PERIOD.

New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani did not hide his opinion of capitalism on Thursday night, saying he disliked it and invoking Martin Luther King Jr. to bolster his position.
During an interview with CNN anchor Erin Burnett, Mamdani embraced his identity as a democratic socialist and said he has many problems with capitalism.
"No, I have many critiques of capitalism," he said in response to Burnett asking him if he likes it.

Mamdani secured the Democratic Party nomination for New York City mayor on Tuesday in an upset over former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and several other candidates.
Mamdani ran a campaign focused on making one of the country’s most expensive places to live more attainable for average residents. His proposals call for multi-year rent freezes and massive investment in public housing. Critics argue his proposals could worsen existing problems in the rental market. He has also taken criticism for not condemning the anti-Israel rallying cry, "Globalize the Intifada."
During his CNN appearance Thursday, Mamdani touted his plans to freeze rent and increase taxes on New York’s wealthiest residents. Burnett followed up by asking about him being described as a democratic socialist.

So...in a few minutes we have gone from "it doesn't work" to "it does work, but only for those in charge."
Good movement. You are getting there.
The IRONY is that you are unable to see that what I said is correct.
Choose one:
a) BULLSHIT!
b) Are we supposed to take your word for this?
c. Both.
Hint: C is the correct answer.
I'd say the same thing back to you but given you diminished mental condition it isn't ironic after all.
D. None of the above
He scares the shit out of you.
And since you have so much disdain for NYC, Boston, Chicago, DC and LA...you should be rooting for people like him. Then you would get all those "normal pro Americans" moving to Iowa...right?
Sure they will!
So it guarantees everyone will be treated the same but treats the leaders much better. And you think that is working? There is no wonder why you live on a memory unit.
Give us a good example.
The second largest, most robust economy on planet Earth...is a socialistic one.
Many economists are betting it will out-pace us during the next decade.
Socialism does not guarantee everyone will be treated the same.
Learn the subject before you shoot your mouth off.
He is a Communist that calls himself a socialist to make himself more palatable.
