Zohran Mamdani and the cold reality of collectivism | Opinion
The newly inaugurated New York City mayor posits the 'warmth of collectivism' as compassion, but history disagrees.
Ad copy
"Mamdani makes collectivism sound like a thick wool blanket on a January morning. But for those of us who haven't traded our history books for ideological fan fiction, that "warmth" usually ends with a rather specific kind of cold…regularly found six feet underground."
