EXCERPT:

MAMDANI: "Like, and you think about, whenever people come forward with an idea of taking care of working people, it is slammed with the most kind of fear-mongering tactics you can think. When the idea of Social Security was introduced, it was described as trying to Sovietize the republic. That’s how people talked about it. And now Social Security is the most normal thing you could think of in this country."
