Establishment Democrats Created The Conditions For A Socialist Victory

Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist, won the Democratic primary for New York City's mayoral election, defeating the establishment's preferred candidate. This upset has drawn attention as it provides insight into the future of the Democratic Party. Mamdani's victory is concerning as socialism is an evil system that violates people's rights and destroys societies and economies. Despite this, Mamdani's policies, which include rent control and a $30 minimum wage, appeal to many who are struggling with the high cost of living. The political establishment is unhappy with Mamdani's victory, but they are also responsible for creating the conditions that led to his popularity. The establishment has created an artificial cost of living crisis through heavy interventionism and a crony, government-run monetary system. Mamdani's campaign capitalized on this sentiment, offering solutions that sounded different from the usual establishment promises. Establishment Democrats are powerless to stop Mamdani because they have consistently denied the negative consequences of their policies. As long as the artificial cost of living crisis continues, socialist policies like Mamdani's will only gain popularity, to the detriment of society. Ultimately, the establishment's own actions have led to the rise of socialism, and they must take responsibility for it.
