All of you celebrating Mamdani are about to receive the fell for it again award, just like you did with Bernie and AOC, and Obama if you're old enough to remember. Unless a socialist is running for an explicitly revolutionary socialist party, they're going to sell out. Also, Mamdani's wife was heavily active in the cultural push for regime change in Syria.

Not only does he have no credentials other than coming from the DSA (lol) , but also 100% of his popularity is farmed by antagonism from the mainstream. You could say that the mainstream zionists are deliberately running a "reverse psychology" hype campaign to get him elected. So, as S4A says… by all means vote but be ready for the outcome.
>>2367800 (me)
The mainstream are hyping up a guy which is the embodiment of all of their boogeymen put together. But also conveniently has no previous history and represents ZERO political risk even if he wins, which if he does, would be against the wishes of literally everyone who runs politics.
So basically there is exactly 1(ONE) reason for Mamdani to exist at all:
To be a lightning rod for the discontent and optionally a martyr representing the threat that is justified to attack from the right.
>>2367858no, it's because it's settler colonial entity and operates like one
just like tsarist russia couldn't be "reformed" into a socialist state, it had to be dismantled and a socialist state had to be built in its place
>>2367834Antidepressants do not work on reality itself, nor are they needed here. Electoral politics is right wing, and it will remain right wing until it dies in its totality.
However, this primary did help show that the public is willing for change and revolution, unlike previous decades. They are much more sympathetic to the communist movement.This is a positive, even though Zohran will betray their investment in him in the end.
>>2361725>Marx very repeatedly and explicitly says that the abolition of current conditions is enabled by and predicated on CLASS STRUGGLE FTFY
>>2367885Bro why are you so obsessed with Greta?
>>2365587I'm sorry I don't want literally every politician in my country bought and owned by some well poisoning pedos who leech off of my taxes to bomb starving children to death. Stfu russian saboteur. Literally the first and only politician to be anti-israel. Are we goys not allowed to be a little excited?
Also before you people concern troll abt how he's not actually pro palestine or whatever. he founded his college's SJP, he's hiding his power levels.
>>2368179he's not anti israel
he's a liberal zionist
>>2368301You can't win as an antizionist in NYC lol
Even if he wins, which is unlikely to be permitted, he'll be a disappointment. Because none of the shit he's promising can be done if the burgeoisie, the party or the higher governments oppose it. And they do. So at best Mamdani will be sharpening the contradictions a bit.
Like, if Zohran was anywhere near as radical in his program as you autists demand, not only he could not run to begin with, but he could not even implement that policy even if he won.
Sorry your milquetoast succdem populist looks like a one man revolution in your capitalist dystopia of a city, but he isn't. And he certainly isn't saving you from the bourgeoisie either. In fact, the blowback is gonna make you want Eric Adams back with how hard the Zionist and the rich are gonna hit you back.
>>2368523NYC is gonna be fine. It was fine ind De Blasio and it was fine under Adams. NYC will endure no matter what the real estate lobby claims it wants to do. Learn how NYC works first. The real estate lobby is the biggest lobby in NYC. If they actually make good with leaving NYC that’ll lead to a massive collapse in land prices which will make the land in New York stupidly cheap. NYC is not Silicon Valley nor is it reliant on tech jobs. Of the private sector jobs in NYC the biggest ones are retail like MACYS and Target Costco’s etc. There are no Walmart within the five boroughs. Wall Street can’t just up and make all their financial service offices disappear overnight to a new “Wall Street” that shit is not gonna happen. NYC is not the Midwest. If real estate moguls leave, land gets cheap, small businesses can now afford the land for their businesses, credit becomes easier to come by because of lower prices.
What realistically will happen is the the big lobby groups will want to negotiate with Mamdani, if Mamdani is truly based he will not negotiate anything less than what he’s demanding in which case the lobby groups might actually try and leave(good for New Yorkers) but what will most likely happen is that Mamdani will find a middle ground between the big lobbies and his policies.
>>2368042it does not get less cringe if you post it many times
DSA retard
>>2395884He's just uniting with the vanguard party (Democrats), just as the
MLs with a brain (Stalinists) intended.
>>2361788That is literally building the productive forces 🙄.
Same as how the 5 day work-week drove industrialization forward.
>>2367805>>counterarguments to what he said: zeroDeep down they know the two reason why S4A can only be dismissed.
1)He's necessarily well read because of the audiobook production.
2)The former makes him a doer. And that's just a whole 'nother universe for most posters.
