That didn’t take long. Mamdani took power on a platform of free everything for everybody less than a month ago. Already he has announced a “fiscal crisis” that will of course require jacking up taxes even higher:

🚨 JUST IN: New Yorkers are in a state of SHOCK after Ugandan Mayor Zohran Mamdani says NYC now faces a "fiscal crisis at a scale of the GREAT RECESSION"

His plan: "Raising taxes on wealthy New Yorkers and profitable companies."

Yikes. Best of luck, NYC.pic.twitter.com/CchzRUwnjo

This quote is especially ominous:

“It means recalibrating the relationship with the State.”

For a preview of the relationship he has in mind, refer to the Bolshevik seizure of power following the October Revolution. This resulted in hunger, terror, repression, and tens of millions of corpses. The USA will face the same fate if similar Democrats seize power at the national level.
