Even commies don’t want free groceries from Zohran Mamdani.
The Revolutionary Communists of America recently ripped the socialist mayoral candidate over his ties to the Democratic Party in an article called “Why Communists Can’t Support Zohran Mamdani.”
“Rather than building the influence of socialism, he is tainting that word through false promises and associating himself with the rotten and discredited Democratic Party,” the controversial group, also known as RevCom, railed.
It added that the 33-year-old mayoral hopeful — and current state assemblyman — is “consciously trying to strengthen that flailing party.”
RevCom is the US branch of Revolutionary Communist International, according to its website, a far left group founded in 1992 as the Committee for a Marxist International. Protestors with RevCom made headlines for burning American flags and chanting “F–k the US” outside a Jason Aldean concert in 2023.
The group, in its May article, said the card-carrying Democratic Socialist of America pol’s support of congestion pricing and his plans to freeze rents, make public buses free and open city-owned grocery stores would “divide the working class against one another.”
“Despite his nice-sounding words, Zohran is ultimately a reformist seeking to make minor tweaks to the New York City budget,” the article claimed. “In the process, he is deceiving the working class about the role of the Democratic Party and about the possibility of achieving meaningful improvements under capitalism.”
The lefty group called instead for a candidate without ties to the two major political parties to push its socialist agenda.
Mamdani is currently polling just 10 percentage points behind Democratic frontrunner Andrew Cuomo in the upcoming primary, which is scheduled for June 24.
His campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
