There is a hunger for bold, transformative politics in the United States right now. Zohran Mamdani shows how the Left can run on a principled, disciplined message that speaks to voters’ lived concerns — and win.
“socialism” in the sense of the french revolution, where they executed lots of people with the guillotine, must never happen again.
The problem with killing people is that it’s a lot like eating potato chips: Once you start, it’s impossible to stop.
Look at the Reign of Terror that immediately followed the French Revolution. They basically continued to kill people after all of the nobles were gone. These actions discouraged a lot of people and were one big factor that scared potential revolutionaries in other countries away from trying a revolution in their home country as well.
Take the rich’s resources, but don’t kill them.
“Tax the rich”, not “eat the rich”.
That is socialism for the 21st century.
Because he had to run in the democratic primary in order to have a shot. He’s a member of the DSA tho—I feel like it’s disingenuous to call him just “a Democrat” (same with AOC)
AOC is a Democrat too, what is the issue? There are factions within the Democrats and she’s in one of them but afaict she is nowhere near as radical as she was depicted as being. Part of that is from getting slapped around by the leadership I’m sure.
“Socialism” lol
It is a win though, it shows people are willing to vote for change

He’s a Democrat, not 3rd party.

Yeah, he’s not corporate enough. Let’s kick him out. Why do we keep losing? Must be the progressives we keep insisting aren’t welcome.

Shit I will amend that. Forgot he won the democratic primary. He is still heavily associated with DSA though and this is well known.
