Resurfaced video shows NYC mayoral hopeful saying he wants to replace private homes with communal living | 5 July 2025 | Videos show Zohran Mamdani, the democratic socialist candidate for New York City mayor,  espousing language and theories rooted in communist revolutionary language. In one 2021 video, Mamdani urges fellow socialists at a conference to not compromise on goals like “seizing the means of production.” In a second video, released on YouTube by progressive advocacy group The Gravel Institute that same year, Mamdani discusses the need to turn housing from a private commodity to a public one, calling for luxury condos to be replaced with communal style living that would include things like shared laundry facilities and food co-ops.
