Zohran Mamdani was declared the winner of the New York City mayoral election on November 4th, 2025.
Such a result marks a significant moment known as A Socialist Win in NYC.
He ran as a Democratic Socialist. He ran as an immigrant. He ran as a Muslim. He ran on a platform of affordability, and he ran without taking a dime from corporations.
He defeated a member of a political dynasty and the billionaires who backed him, and he did so with a resounding majority of the vote. He has set an example for others to follow and given hope to many in a tumultuous political era.
In this episode, the dialectic goes to work with the world’s leading Marxian economist, Professor Richard Wolff, to examine how and why this monumental moment happened and what it could mean for New York City and the rest of the world.
