don’t think electoralism is an effective strategy,
i don’t think it’s effective for overthrowing the empire or achieving communism. i think it’s potentially effective for things that are within the scope and purview of local government like public housing and freezing police budgets.
It certainly can be effective at slowing down the amount of pain and suffering under capital people have. But it does depend on circumstances. From what I know about New York, Mamdani probably won’t actually be able to make any noticable change in those areas because he will be sabotaged at every opportunity. But fuck being a doomer about things, just because I think he won’t make effective change doesn’t mean I don’t want to see it. It would be great if he successfully reduce cop budgets and put in rent controls, that will help potentially millions of people.
