I’m setting my usual sarcasm aside for this one. Zohran Mamdani’s election as mayor of New York isn’t just a political shift, it’s a seismic jolt to the status quo. This city, long lulled by comfort and convenience, may finally be forced to confront the lesson it has refused to learn: comfort breeds complacency, and complacency erodes justice. They didn’t teach this in school. They taught obedience, not transformation. Mamdani’s platform: rent stability, free transit, universal child care, city-owned groceries, isn’t just policy. It’s a curriculum. And New York just enrolled in the school of hard knocks. If he truly dismantles the old guard and rewrites the rules, it won’t be gentle. It’ll be disruptive. Maybe even violent. But maybe that’s what it takes to rebuild something worth believing in. I hope this is enough to show the rest of the country that socialism is never a solution, but it might be the wake-up call we need. >“My friends, we have toppled a political dynasty,” Mamdani said in his 20-minute address. The hammer doesn’t claim the fall of the wall. It’s the hands that wield it that make history.
