Eric Adams stated many New Yorkers misunderstand socialism. He mentioned experiencing socialism in countries like Cuba and Venezuela, noting the empty shelves and rationing. Adams criticized Zohran Mamdani's campaign promises, like city-owned grocery stores, arguing they would harm local businesses, particularly bodegas vital to various communities. He emphasized the importance of local stores for economic mobility and questioned the viability of socialist policies that overlook existing enterprises and the people they employ. Mamdani won the Democratic primary against former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who has not officially exited the race.
70% of New Yorkers are not anti the term 'socialism.' Many people don't really understand the term socialism and what it means.
When you dig into what socialism means, you understand when you get stuff for free, someone is paying for it.
His socialist theory of 'let's open government supermarkets' disregards the bodegas and community stores that support local economies and the American dream.
We're romanticizing the terminology, and it always sounds good, you know that, 'I'm a socialist,' but it has real-world consequences.
