The people of New York City got a good taste of communism earlier this week months after electing Marxist Zohran Mamdani for mayor.
As Fox News reported, a pop-up shop opened up on Sunday for five days in the West Village to offer free groceries to impoverished New Yorkers and people simply looking for an easy lunch. The outlet notes this comes Mayor Mamdani advanced one of his key campaign promises: city-run grocery stores aimed at lowering food costs.
The store, which is called The Polymarket, was opened by a cryptocurrency-based prediction market with the same name. The Polymarket offered yellow ticket granting NYC residents entry to the little store.
Much like communist countries like Cuba, lines grew quite long in a hurry with residents across all five New York City boroughs flocked to get some ‘free’ stuff.
