Zohran Mamdani, democratic candidate for NYC Mayor, requires the goal of prisons: the progressive experiment that endangers public safety
In another example of how far the modern links went, Zohran Mamdani, democratic candidate for mayor of New York City, publicly interrogated the existence of the prison system. During a recent event – which felt more like a university book club than on a serious policy proposal – Mamdani not only revealed his lack of a grip on the issue, but also implicitly mocked victims of crime with a flagrant, down -bending tone. “What are prisons for?” He asked aloud, while name -walking authors and book titles that supposedly support his abolitionist attitude. Yet he admitted that he did not read some of those books.
These kinds of statements are not harmless. They reflect the dangerous trend among some Democrats to priorize ideology over reality. New York is already faltering of the “reform” policy that the legal system has weakened, has made the early release of repeated perpetrators possible and has triggered the need to protect the authority -abiding citizens. The rhetoric of Mamdani does not only argue for the closing of prisons; It strives to delegate the concept of punitive justice – based on emotional and intellectual stories that ignore the communities that are most affected by violence.
This postmodern ideology – which paints criminals as victims and law enforcement as systemic oppressors – has dangerously infiltrated the Democratic party. Mamdani represents the most radical faction of the party, the same faction that has insisted on policy as ‘Defunder the police’, the closing of prisons, mass prisoners releases and replacing punishment by ‘re -education’. In theory it may sound noble, but in practice it has led to more crime and the neglect of vulnerable citizens.
The average New Yorker – the honest employee who commands daily is struggling to pay rent and strives to keep their families safe – is the one who suffers from the consequences of this social experiment. Families of violent crime victims do not appreciate that justice trivialize or abstract, academic statements offer written from the comfort of theoretical privilege.
The American legal system, although not perfect, exists to scare, punish and rehabilitate. Developing its existence by a utopian lens is not leadership – it is negligence. Mamdani has proven that he is unsuitable for driving a city as complex as New York. His political vision protects criminals, not citizens.
At a time when Americans demand more safety, order and accountability, voters must remain vigilant against this type of rhetoric that promises transformation but delivers chaos. New York no longer needs theory. It needs realism, law, order and justice for victims.
