“Carl Campanile, "Zohran Mamdani's new NYC tenant advocate called to 'seize private property,' blasted homeownership as 'white supremacy'", The New York Post (January 4, 2026) — secondary source for social media posts quoted above”

“Private property including and kind of ESPECIALLY homeownership is a weapon of white supremacy masquerading as “wealth building” public policy.”

“Really needing to repress the desire for revenge rn. I wish I believed in god so I could believe that all men who take credit for women's work and all white men who take credit for the work of women of color would one day burn.”

“Impoverish the *white* middle class. Homeownership is racist / failed public policy.”

“There is no such thing as a “good” gentrifier, only people who are actively working on projects to dismantle white supremacy and capitalism and people who aren't.”

“Seize private property!”

“Elect more communists.”

“I think that some of those things are certainly not how I would say things today and are regretful. But I do think my decades of experience fighting for more affordable housing stands on its own. [...] I’m proud to be in this role fighting for stronger tenants rights, and I think that, for many years, people have been locked out of the property market. That has produced a lot of systematic and racial inequalities in our system. And I want to make sure that everybody has a safe and affordable place to live, whether they rent or own, and that is something I am laser-focused on in this role.”
