New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s city grocery store proposal is not a serious socialist threat to free enterprise. We already know they don’t work: Baldwin Market (2019-1924), owned by the town of Baldwin, Florida, went out of business after operating with losses every year. Military commissaries lose $1.57 billion every year.  Mamdani’s supermarkets—if they ever open, and none are scheduled to even open until late next year—will be no different.

The greatest economic and political study of fascism, published by classical liberal journalist John T. Flynn at the height of World War II, is perhaps the best and most concise summary of America’s economic system today. The thesis of As We Go Marching (1944) states in part: “Fascism…is a form of social organization...(1) In which the government acknowledges no restraint upon its powers—totalitarianism. (2) In which this unrestrained government is managed by a dictator—the leadership principle. (3) In which the government is organized to operate the capitalist system and enable it to...
