New York Reruns: What Mamdani Means for New York

Roger Kimball, American Greatness

Mamdani will, in short order, drive New York into the slough of economic and social

immiseration that always follows the institution of socialist policies. His “eat the rich” attitude will precipitate an aggressive flight of wealthy taxpayers, making the city’s economic prospects even more dire. Crime will soar, and in place of the broken-windows policing, the city will have an abundance of broken windows. As the anomie expands, Mamdani will need to find someone to blame. Mamdani’s ill-concealed anti-Semitism will soon fix upon the Jews.
