Zohran Mamdani’s Overeducated, Underpaid Revolutionaries - Joel Kotkin
Joel Kotkin explains why Zohran Mamdani’s voter base—the “overeducated and underpaid”—is the most dangerous group in society. From Robespierre’s Jacobins to Lenin’s Bolsheviks, revolutions are usually driven by middle class intellectuals, not an organic uprising of the working class. With middle class America increasingly bifurcated into single professionals indefinitely living out their 20s and healthy families away from cities, the future of urban life will look very different than the New York Joel knew growing up.
