In the footage, Mamdani addressed the crowd stating, “What the purpose is about this entire project, it’s not simply to raise class consciousness, but to win socialism. And obviously raising class consciousness is a critical part of that, but making sure that we have candidates that both understand that and are willing to put that forward at every which moment that they have, at every which opportunity that they’re given. We have to continue to elect more socialists and we have to ensure that we are unapologetic about our socialism.”
The video was shared widely on social media, including this X post, which captured Mamdani’s remarks and their reception.
Continuing his address, Mamdani added, “There are also other issues that we firmly believe in, whether it’s BDS, right, or whether it’s the end goal of seizing the means of production, where we do not have the same level of support at this very moment.”
During a recent appearance on NBC’s Meet The Press, Mamdani reiterated his economic philosophy, stating that billionaires should not exist due to “inequality.” That portion of his remarks was also circulated on social media, including this X post.
