Dr. Eric Patterson

Dr. Eric Patterson, President and CEO of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, discusses the implications of socialism in American politics as NYC’s mayoral race heats up. He warns about the dangers of 'class warfare' rhetoric, particularly from candidates like Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani, whose proposals may lead to increased government control. Patterson emphasizes the importance of civic education to combat entitlement narratives and stresses the potential risks of wealth creators fleeing a city fostering such policies.
