Via retrograding to "class struggle" terminology rather than using today's social justice differentiations and affectations, Mamdani is literally indulging in old-time Marxist theatrics here. Not the generic collectivism that the Democratic Socialists of America organization that he is a member of intermittently obscures itself behind.
Arguably doesn't matter, though, since he's ultimately a cosplayer who opportunistically caters to whatever population group he is immediately addressing (even to the point of using fake accents sometimes). But add up all his confidence games and the overall theme is socialist more than anything else. His winning won't be a bad thing for the GOP (they're elated about the prospect), since he derails the DP's reform attempts to portray itself as centrist -- instead veering the Party image even further to the radical Left politics of the early 20th-century.

-VIDEO EXCERPT-
RUBIN: Zohran Mamdani is a full-on admitted socialist. I would say he's also a communist and a Marxist. But don't take my word for it. Take his word for it. He does want to seize the means of production.
MAMDANI: What the purpose is about this entire project. It's not simply to raise class consciousness, but to win socialism. And obviously raising class consciousness is a critical part of that. But making sure that we have candidates that both understand that and are willing to put that forward at every which moment that they have, at every which opportunity that they are given. We have to continue to elect more socialists, and we have to ensure that we are unapologetic about our socialism.
There are also other issues that we firmly believe in, whether it's BDS, right, or whether is the end goal of ceasing the means of production. And with every battle that we fight as socialists, we need to remember what the stakes are and ground ourselves in them and why those stakes are important and critical to us as individuals.
RUBIN: Guys, you have to give this guy credit in that he's not hiding it. They usually are better about hiding it. He's telling you, I'm a socialist. We need to elect more socialists. And by the way, what do socialists do? Well, socialists get in legally via elections, and then they usually cancel elections. He hasn't gotten to that part yet.
But then, of course, he somehow combines running for New York City mayor to BDS -- boycott, divest, sanction Israel -- because the key thing of being a progressive is you have to hate the freest country in the Middle East more than anything else...
