“We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.”
This phrase was not spoken by Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong or Fidel Castro, but rather by the new Mayor of New York City: democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani.
New York residents have reason for concern: the millions of people who were murdered under the “embrace” of collectivism offer a sobering precedent of where Mamdani’s rhetoric ultimately leads. Catholics in the city should be especially worried, given that Mamdani’s ideology has historically pinpointed the Church as the primary obstacle to the socialist vision of collectivised “rights”.
