One of the dozen or so socialist policy proposals from NYC Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani is the creation of government-funded grocery stores.

While the Democratic Party increasingly embraces socialist and Marxist-leaning policies, such as the seizure of private property, this idea of government-funded grocery stores appears disconnected from both fundamental economic realities and historical precedent.

Nowhere is this more evident than in East Kansas City, where a nonprofit operates a grocery store on government land that has become a symbol of failure, plagued by the smell of rot and empty shelves.

What happens if there are government run supermarkets that Zohran Mamdani advocates for. They have empty shelves and smell bad.

Government-run stores worked so well in the USSR.

A rational person would look at that and say, "Hmm, maybe that policy isn't a good idea".

Leftists, however, seem to react to their own policy failures by growing stronger in their belief that they are somehow right.

Proggies focus on intentions while ignoring outcomes/results. Hence, Soviet failures just meant they "didn't do it right".
