Mamdanis anti-Italian hate is no surprise it is foundational to his Marxist beliefs

As someone who can trace both sides of his family to that once impoverished but wonderful country known as Italy, it’s easy to come to the conclusion that our mayor isn’t a fan of the place — or of people who originated there.So it’s no surprise that the same leftist clown who flipped the bird at a statue of Columbus during his days as a leftist agitator has offered up a creepy, ethnically cleansed map of the city that leaves no trace of Italians living anywhere in New York City, from Arthur Avenue to Little Italy to Staten Island.I can’t tell you exactly what’s going on in Zohran Mamdani’s brain cells. Perhaps it’s that he couldn’t get a table at Rao’s before he was mayor, or once had a bad slice of pizza. But I suspect his disdain for people like me is more complex than just race hate. It involves his broader worldview, something called cultural Marxism, which defines the Italian American experience here in New York and elsewhere as a lie.Yes I know, the Marxism usually associated with our mayor is of the economic variety: demonizing the rich, government-owned grocery stores, free buses, higher taxes to provide more welfare support to migrants here legally or illegally. He boasts about replacing “the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.”Go deeper into what makes Mamdani tick — his past musings about wealth, the radicals he’s appointed to various positions, his academic training in Africana Studies and his far-leftist, critical-theorist Columbia professor father, Mahmood Mamdani  — and you’ll understand that collectivism is only part of what animates our mayor.He holds a worldview that divides Americans into tribes based not on Marx’s classic interpretation (which would be class), but on race. Under the theory of cultural Marxism, all things are oppressor versus oppressed. It ignores swaths of history in favor of grievance against Western civilization — the ultimate oppressor of the Third Worl...
