New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani quickly advanced his democratic socialist agenda on Jan. 1, passing a series of executive orders and using his inauguration speech to promote collectivism.
“We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism,” he said after a swearing-in ceremony in front of City Hall.
