Maze Moore posted a video of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani explaining why he decided to run for office. It is also the likely reason he became a U.S. citizen. Keep in mind that Zohran’s mother said he doesn’t identify as an American. He considers himself a Ugandan Indian. My guess is that since both his parents are Indian, he only included Uganda to lure in the Black population.
It is obvious Zohran also considers himself a communist Islamist. He admits he is working within the state to subvert it.
“I respect that there are many differences of opinion about the value of electoralism, the value of engaging with the state, but I do think that as long as the state has this monopoly on violence, then we have to contest the state at every which point and every which place, and there is an opportunity to have our voices heard within the state, and obviously, by becoming a member of the state in terms of its political class, you are compromised because you’re legitimizing it in many ways, but I think if I didn’t see the ability for us to claim victories from the inside, then I wouldn’t be doing this.“
