Mamdani: ‘A Lot of What We’ve Come to Accept as the Facts of Life Across Our Country Is Driven by Democratic Socialist Principles’

EXCERPT:

MAMDANI: “If you go back to some of the Democrats that we most admire, FDR, La Guardia, you will see a lot of Democratic Socialist principles in their vision. And if you think about a lot of what we’ve come to accept as just the facts of life across our country, a lot of it is also still driven by Democratic Socialist principles. Now, if today you and I were to introduce the idea of a building that lends out books for free, we would be slandered in the same way that so many new ideas are slandered today, and yet, that’s the library.”
