No, he is not a direct puppet of the TPS [Transnational Private Sector].
His policies aim to prioritize working-class New Yorkers over corporate profits, and his outspoken activism clashes with the establishment.
Yet,
his campaign relies on platforms like social media and progressive funding networks,
that are indirectly tied to those same corporate systems.
This makes him a complex figure.
A reformer who challenges corporate control but operates within their infrastructure.
If elected, he could shift some power toward everyday New Yorkers, but corporate forces will likely limit how far he can go.
The TPS doesn’t need to directly control Mamdani to benefit. By allowing his campaign to gain traction, they can present an image of a “progressive” city without giving up real control.
His critiques of inequality make the system look open to reform, which helps corporate powers maintain legitimacy while continuing to dominate the city’s budget and resources.
Look at New yorks $100 billion budget that is heavily influenced by Wall Street, which manages the city’s pension funds (worth over $250 billion).
Mamdani’s ability to challenge this is constrained by the city’s dependence on these financial systems.
Futile endeavour.
He is being used to produce a narrative over reality for the people.
The moment he gains any substantive momentum, he’ll be pushed out.
