A major structural hazard with extreme media ownership concentration is that oligarchs impose their ideological agendas--which almost always skew to the far right--on everyone. This capture of core info and communication infrastructures must be dismantled if we're to have any semblance of democracy.

Mamdani is talking here about social democracy (capitalism with "social safety net") Socialism is when the capitalist state is destroyed, & workers make a new one. The new, socialist state collectivizes industry & directs production. All workers have a right to a job. Private employment is illegal.
