Ayaan Hirsi Ali Offers Her Thoughts On NYC Socialist Zohran Mamdani
“Universities didn’t accidentally produce socialists while teaching legitimate scholarship.”
Ayaan Hirsi Ali is not a fan of communism, or Islamic extremism, so you can probably guess where this is going.

The American Dream, Rewritten in Marxist Ink
David Friedberg’s recent All-In podcast argument sounds convincing: student debt creates desperate graduates, financial stress drives political radicalism, and young Americans embrace socialism because capitalism failed them economically. The analysis captures real and understandable pain but overlooks the underlying mechanisms.
Zohran Mamdani reportedly owes at least $200,000 from his college years. He studied African Studies and graduated without a job, but now he’s winning elections as a socialist candidate in New York City. Friedberg connects the financial dots, but the ideological picture remains invisible.
In 1990s Uganda, a young boy and his family fled tyranny. They came to the United States seeking a new beginning. What was out-of-reach back home suddenly felt possible here: they finally had freedom, safety, and the chance to build a life of their own. Yet within a few years on campus, Mamdani begins speaking the language of American oppression. The immigrant who once found refuge and opportunity now wages a campaign against the very system that gave him both. His transformation, from grateful newcomer to political radical began in the classroom. The student loan crisis may deepen the resentment, but the machinery of conversion is ideological. The debt crisis provides cover for something systematic.
Universities didn’t accidentally produce socialists while teaching legitimate scholarship. They built ideological assembly lines disguised as academic departments. This subversion began many years ago, long before university education became largely unaffordable. This was a time when students were grounded in math, science, English, history, civics, and geography. These were real disciplines — tools for building knowledge, not dismantling it, in the pursuance of truth.
Today, we don’t have disciplines; we have “studies”. The curriculum itself serves as indoctrination infrastructure. Walk through any Gender Studies classroom and count the minutes before “oppression” becomes the central theme. Track how many lectures end without a condemnation of the patriarchy, white supremacy, or Western norms. The readings are curated for grievance, the discussions are steered toward activism, and critical thinking is welcomed only if it critiques the approved targets.

“….and young Americans embrace socialism because capitalism failed them economically. ”
All from the comfort of the $70k/yr tuition university, while wearing North Face, and typing from the latest I-phone.
Stupid eedjits.
The “student loan promotes hate of capitalism” hook is a fresh idea to me =- all the rest is well-trodden path.
But balance it with Brandon’s well-known proclivity to want to wipe out student loans. The narratives clash there.
Maybe on one level, but on another level reinforces the idea that the Government is the only entity that is really able to help those in need.
So Mamdani’s affluent filmmaker mother let her son borrow his college tuition, and now seems content to stiff the taxpayers?
