In 1882, 10,000 workers marched up Broadway in the first-ever Labor Day parade. Led by democratic socialists and organized by New York’s unions, they rallied the movement that went on to win us weekends, safety standards, overtime pay, a minimum wage, and social security.
None…
— Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani (@NYCMayor) September 7, 2026
According to the Washington Examiner, the Mayor’s Office of Worker Power “is said to be inspired by the Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee, a 2020 joint effort of the Democratic Socialists of America and the United Electrical Workers.”
A reminder of what the Democratic Socialists of America mandate really is can be found HERE. Mamdani has repeatedly proven his determination to realize the DSA’s ambitions.
“NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani Roasted for Celebrating ‘Democratic Socialists’ on Labor Day,” by Hannah Knudsen, Breitbart, September 7, 2026:
New York City’s socialist Muslim Mayor Zohran Mamdani opted to mention “democratic socialists” in his Labor Day post on Monday, crediting them with leading the first Labor Day parade.
“In 1882, 10,000 workers marched up Broadway in the first-ever Labor Day parade. Led by democratic socialists and organized by New York’s unions, they rallied the movement that went on to win us weekends, safety standards, overtime pay, a minimum wage, and social security,” Mamdani said in his Labor Day post.
“None of those victories were guaranteed. And none are permanent,” he said, crediting them with creating the “first-in-the-nation Office of Worker Power to put the full weight of City Hall behind the people who keep New York running.”…
Others pointed to the absurdity of Mamdani comparing the movement to modern day democratic socialists, noting that they were not marching for illegal immigrants to come into the country and “steal our jobs and lower our bargaining power.”“Making believe ‘Democratic Socialists’ had something to do with it. lol, nice one,” one said.
Notably, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) did not formally become an organization as it stands today until 1982 — a full 100 years after that march.
A recent survey from the CBS News/YouGov revealed that over half of Democrats hold a more positive view of socialism as opposed to capitalism. As Breitbart News reported:
Among Democrats, 58 percent were found to have a positive view of socialism, while 32 percent have a positive view of capitalism. The poll also found that 18 percent of Democrats have a negative view of socialism, while 50 percent have a negative view of capitalism….

10,000 workers may have marched. No doubt many of them Catholic or Jewish and likely ZERO moose slimes. A scum bag cult of murdering amoral a-holes who had nothing to do with building America or any other decent society. F-is-slime and F-man-dummy.

Just as many other muzzie liars have done, he’s attempting to claim credit for something with which he and his muzziescummy crew had no part.
WPM says
A mayor who never held a real job in his life is celebrating Labor Day. Will he have a special May Day Parade next year and celebrate the Russia communist revolution next year in NYC?

I happen to think that deep down, he’s more of a mohammedan than a commie. The commie part of him is just there b’cos not much in the qur’an contradicts Marx, other than having different hate targets. That’s why he & his pals like Abdul el-Sayed, Ilhan Omar & Rashida Tlaib can be “Democrat Socialists” when it ccomes to the economy but jihadists when it comes to geopolitics

“Since the advent of the American labor movement in the late 1800s, gangsters had exploited the division between unions and management by supplying muscle to both sides to break up picket lines or beat up the scabs who crossed those lines. As organized crime syndicates grew during Prohibition, they saw lucrative opportunities in labor racketeering.”

It makes sense that unions would vote democrat because the democrat party is a nationwide crime syndicate.
