I'm setting my normal 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. I’m hoping he teaches the lesson this city and country has long refused to learn: that 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 for the school of hard knocks. And New York just enrolled. If he truly dismantles the old guard and rewrites the rules, it won’t be gentle. It’ll be 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. >“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.
