Reality Bites: Socialist NYC Mayor Mamdani Turns To Capitalist Bankers For Help

纽约市长佐兰·曼达尼(Zohran Mamdani)是一位经常批评资本主义和华尔街的社会主义者,据报道,他正试图通过组建一个新的咨询委员会来改善与商界的关系。尽管曼达尼过去言辞激烈,并曾推动对富人增税,但他目前正寻求美国银行(Bank of America)和拉扎德(Lazard)等公司知名人士的建议,以协助制定其经济战略。 此次外联正值市长的社会主义议程面临重大财政和政治阻力之际。批评人士指出,本届政府向其曾公开贬低的机构和个人寻求支持,具有讽刺意味。观察人士认为,此举是对治理现实的务实承认:纽约市的经济稳定依赖于本届政府经常挑战的资本主义结构。随着曼达尼的团队解散先前的企业董事会并以新委员会取而代之,这一转变凸显了政府的意识形态目标与维持城市税基及全球商业地位的实际需求之间的矛盾。

After socialist New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani went after Citadel's Ken Griffin, created a property database of wealthy homeowners that makes the list easily accessible to "Luigi-worshipping leftist thugs," and endlessly bashed America and capitalism, all while his friend, Democratic Socialists of America's unofficial spokesperson Hasan Piker, called on his followers to "kill capitalists in the streets" and other DSA members called for the destruction of America from within, the far-left NYC mayor, who is running into roadblocks, has called on capitalist bankers for help.

Piker in his own words: "KiII those motherf**kers and murder those motherf**kers in the streets. Let the streets soak in their f**king red capitalist blood." 

Bloomberg reports that Mamdani is seeking top capitalist bankers for a new business advisory council as he attempts to mend relations with Wall Street after spewing dangerous rhetoric against the very people who make the city go 'round.

Those invited include former UBS Americas Chief Executive Officer Robert Wolf, former Lazard investment-banking chief Antonio Weiss, and Bank of America's New York City President Jose Tavarez, according to people familiar with the discussions.

The people said the group would provide advice and feedback from key industries, including real estate, finance, and technology.

"The administration is in the process of reaching out to business executives to form a Business Advisory Council," a spokesperson for the Mayor's Office said in an emailed statement to the outlet.

The spokesperson added, "The purpose of the council is to engage with business leaders for their insights and input as we build an economic development strategy that improves life for all New Yorkers."

Mamdani's outreach to capitalist bankers comes as his team of socialists dismantles a separate corporate advisory board connected to the Mayor's Fund to Advance New York City. The mayor has clashed with business leaders over his push for higher taxes on wealthy residents and large corporations, while redirecting city institutions toward socialist causes.

Bill Cunningham, a political strategist who served under former Governor Hugh Carey and later as former Mayor Michael Bloomberg's communications director at City Hall, told the outlet, "I don't know how the mayor will go about creating a group that he can interact with that can help him manage the city. That should be the goal."

With his socialist agenda encountering institutional, fiscal, and political resistance, Mamdani's decision to tap capitalist bankers is more of an acknowledgment of governing reality: NYC cannot maintain its tax base, finance its ambitions, or remain a global business center while pushing anti-American socialist policies. 

Yet another example of how socialism sounds great on paper but, in reality, is an unmitigated disaster once the resources are depleted.
