But because of what he represents: the core principles of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) of which he is a staunch and unapologetic member. Mamdani's "socialism" is a corrosive ideology that despises the very principles that have made America the envy of the word. (No small irony for Mamdani: it is capitalism that has made New York great since its founding.) Centuries later, that magic has made New York the extremely high bar by which every other city in the world is measured.
