Commie and join us! Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s election has emboldened members of a new offshoot of the Communist Party in the Big Apple — as its members push Hizzoner to bolt the Democratic Party to jumpstart a radical alternative. The Revolutionary Communists of America held more than a dozen events in and around New York City the past month, but its leaders told The Post the fledgling mayor needs to focus on overthrowing capitalism by launching a new workers party.
“Building a mass workers’ party would be an important step toward forming a workers’ government,” said a spokesperson for the group, whose manifesto calls on the younger generation to “step forward and fight for the overthrow of capitalism.” ” A workers’ government would bring free universal healthcare, free public transit, quality housing with rent capped at 10% of income, and free education,” the group stated. It would provide full employment and a shorter workweek, with no loss in pay,” the group said. “Let us unite all communists and class-conscious workers in the party of the American socialist revolution and bury capitalism once and for all.” NYC Communists, a local branch of the RCA, lobbied for members in a recent, fiery Instagram post.
