Felix Salmon: 纽约富人对Zoran Mamdani当选感到恐慌,认为他是社会主义者,这与纽约的资本主义性质不符。然而,这种观点存在逻辑上的跳跃。我个人认为,将任何进步的事物视为对资本主义的威胁是错误的,而且人们没有区分苏联式共产主义和北欧民主社会主义。纽约市长在改变政策方面受到州政府和市议会的限制,因此Mamdani将纽约变成社会主义天堂的能力有限。重要的是要记住,城市市长是根据与左右无关的事情来判断的,而不是意识形态。 Emily Peck: Mamdani自称是民主社会主义者,这可能是华尔街人士恐慌的原因之一。他们不喜欢冻结租金和城市拥有的杂货店的想法。但实际上,曼哈顿的租赁市场已经是社会主义的,因为大部分房地产是租金稳定的。我认为,纽约市已经有一些进步的法律,不是一个完全的资本主义天堂。华尔街人士的恐慌和发声并不重要,任何理智的商人都会采取观望态度。即使更多的百万富翁离开,纽约也不会损失。 Elizabeth Spiers: 我投票给Zoran Mamdani,并且以前和他一起参加过竞选活动。Mamdani被描绘成对如何管理城市有疯狂想法的人,但他的大多数提议都是渐进的或不激进的。他赢得部分原因是,他非常关注纽约的生活成本,这对工人阶级很重要。人们没有区分苏联式的共产主义和北欧模式的民主社会主义,而且没有真正了解它们,所以现在有一种歇斯底里的情绪,与Mamdani作为市长可能做的事情不成比例。我认为Mondani的吸引力是真实的,人们真的在拥抱他。
