New York City graced by Lady Liberty Herself greeted immigrants as each made their way across the sea to arrive on our shores. She greeted our soldiers returning home from foreign wars so thankful to see her lamp held high in pledge and in reassurance that they had, indeed, survived Hell to come home again.
Best wishes for great and meaningful success, Mr. Mayor!
Mandani’s election is clear evidence that America is indeed, the melting pot of the world, enriched by its extraordinary diversity and overflowing with infinite possibilities.
As I read these statements of commitment the song and the music of “New York, New York” coursed through my mind! If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere! Blessings on you, your team and your challenges ahead!
Zohran Mamdani’s inauguration speech presents as a pledge to alleviate the immediate suffering of New Yorkers—affordability, safety, and inclusion—while adopting the language of “democratic socialism.”
Sober, class analysis shows that these rhetorical commitments are incompatible with the social power and property relations that actually determine policy.
This speech functions politically to channel working‑class anger into reformist illusions and to normalize Mamdani’s accommodation with the capitalist state and its armed institutions be it in New York City, nationally or globally under the governance of Capital.

Bernie would have defeated Trump the first time and we wouldn’t be in the fix we’re in
now. Go for it!!!!
The other peoples speeches were also powerful
Great speech. Hope he succeeds. We surely need this to work!!
To tax the wealthiest few. Why should those few stick around?
I guess we’ll find out!
be for real. MA enacted a millionaire tax and those people still live here.
At some point, they won't.
Great speech! FDR would be proud.
THANKS for printing this. VERY inspiring, and MOST welcome in this dark hour.
This speech is, for me, a beautiful breath of fresh air. Congratulations, Mayor Mamdani! From Oregon, wishing you and New York the very best!💙
Giving all of us Hope, New Yorkers of course, also those who live elsewhere, that more Mamdani's will show up to guide us.
“Sweet land of liberty…from every mountainside…Let freedom ring… “
MORE like him, PLEASE!!
