Socialist Mamdani rejects 'rugged individualism' for 'warmth of collectivism'
Republican and conservative commentators criticized New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s pledge to bring “the warmth of collectivism” to the city on Thursday during his swearing-in ceremony.
“We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism,” vowed Mamdani to cheers from the audience during his swearing-in ceremony.
Conservatives on social media, however, were less attracted to the idea.
“The warmth of collectivism? That sounds rather chilling actually…” reacted New York Post correspondent Lydia Moynihan, while Trump nominee Mark Walker claimed, “Right out of Joseph Stalin’s 1928 play book forcing ‘collectivism’ on the Russian people. Taking away the individual’s right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness (property) is communism in its purest form. America’s greatest threat now lies within.”
