New York mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani slams capitalism on CNN, cites MLK to defend socialism

How is Medicare and SS socialism, other than a dumb Government Ponzi scheme? I am pretty sure I a PAID into it for my entire working life.



:rofl2: Uneducated halfwit is going to lecture on economics. :laugh:



If you are promoting rent freezes, government run grocery stores, taxing white people, free public bus services and have antisemitic terrorist sympathies, you just might be a Marxist dumb fuck.
And what you draw out is many times more than what you put in, you really didn’t think it was matched dollar per dollar did you

Proposals, ideas to develop, and the mentioned one percent tax would be on all New Yorkers making over a certain amount

You haven’t a clue what you are talking about, just proves my initial point, and as far as uneducated, you ought to invest in mirror
 
You fucking right-wing Trump ass-kissers are the ones subverting American democracy. Unfortunately, you people are too stupid to realize what you are doing.

You may have to learn it the hard way...the way people like you in mid 20th century Germany learned it when they were backing their Fuhrer.

The Nazi regime was heavily into socialism. It was one of its downfalls.
 
Not really, some, but it wasn’t a socialist economy, Hitler didn’t assassinate Rosa Luxembourg or eliminate labor unions because he believed in socialism
Yes, it was. It was similar to the one China has today. That is, it used Statist Capitalism. The state decided what and who would produce while business remained in the hands of private owners. He eliminated worker's unions because they were a threat to statist capitalism. If the workers could strike because of something the state decided about their employer, or about wages--set by the state--then they were a threat to the state.

Under statist capitalism, monopolies were allowed and licensed by the state. Businesses made what the state told them or allowed them to make. Some companies resisted this to their own detriment. In other cases, the state took over a business because it was poorly run or such. One example of that is Junkers Aircraft. The largest aircraft manufacturer in Germany at the time. The company was poorly managed and suffered under the Treaty of Versailles. The government stepped in and took over.

So, yes, it was a socialist economy, just not one in the traditional mold. If anything, the statist capitalist model has become the standard for socialist countries to use with the economy and business: Government control, private ownership.

In China the only way a union can exist today is if the government (Communist party) controls it. Same thing as the Nazis did in effect. They created a national worker's "front," the Deutsche Arbeitsfront which replaced independent worker's unions to which all German workers had to be members (membership was supposedly "voluntary" but you couldn't get a job if you weren't a member). In both it is a way for the government to control workers.
 
He is not an antisemitic terrorist sympathizer, dumbass. :palm:
You're a lying moron. :palm:

Following the October 7 Hamas attacks, Mamdani condemned Israel’s military response and joined protests calling for a ceasefire. Rather than condemning the attacks, he criticized those attacked.

He has also said he would arrest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he came to New York City, despite there being no arrest warrant for Netanyahu in the US

Mamdani drew controversy when he defended the use of the phrase “Globalize the intifada” as “a desperate desire for equality and equal rights in standing up for Palestinian human rights.”

 
And what you draw out is many times more than what you put in,

There you go with the moronic lies. I paid into SS and Medicare for over fifty years. The last 30 I was maxed out.

you really didn’t think it was matched dollar per dollar did you

WTF is "matched dollar per dollar"? You mean the employers share? Yes, that is money OUT of my pocket as well you brainless dumbass.

The Government doesn't pay it.

Proposals, ideas to develop, and the mentioned one percent tax would be on all New Yorkers making over a certain amount

I have no idea what you are bloviating ignorantly about.

You haven’t a clue what you are talking about,

Projection.

just proves my initial point, and as far as uneducated, you ought to invest in mirror

Your point is always proving what a clueless, uneducated, boorish dumbass you are. :palm:

So it was a socialist version of capitalism?

The Nazi economy was, as are nearly all economies, mixed. Private property remained, private business entities remained, as long as they weren’t Jewish, socialist and social democrats were sent to concentration camps, labor unions were outlawed, even socialist literature and thought, was banned, hardly the work of a supposed socialist leader

Your understanding is wrong, too simplistic, and debunked by nearly everyone, well, except AM talk radio

Right all those Boomers collecting SS for decades are getting exactly to the penny no more than what they contributed, and by the way, the money “out of pockets” is pure distribution of income, socialism, the same socialism you Red Hat whackos say doesn’t exist in the US

As I said, you don’t have a clue
