In fact, Mamdani sounds very much like another politician, who said, “All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.” That was Benito Mussolini. At one time, it would have been problematic for an American politician to essentially sub-quote a Fascist dictator, but many younger Americans are ready to reconsider failed ideas of the past.

A key factor is that many in the younger generation simply don’t know better. https://breakpoint.org/mamdanis-fantasy-of-warm-collectivism/
