The Mamdani Model: More Socialist Mayors to ComeBeware! The DSA will attempt to repeat Mamdani’s success in other Democrat strongholds.

"Many informed Democrats are aware of this slick maneuvering and are not happy about it. You might recall the serpentine James Carville screeching about lifetime socialist Bernie Sanders during the 2016 Democratic Party Primary: “But Bernie’s not a Democrat!” No, Bernie never was. The Senate “Independent” way back in 1980 had served as a formal presidential elector to the Trotskyist Socialist Workers Party. Bernie in 2016 merely adopted the Democrat label to try to get himself elected president. And many of the dupes that comprise the Democrat rank and file willingly pulled the lever for him, giving him an astonishing 13 million primary votes that year, not far behind Hillary Clinton. "

Considering 98 democrats could not condemn the horrors of socialism, socialism is now proven to be democrat mainstream.

Breaking down the cultural norms of American society (socialism taboos out the window) into something new, is the mark of a new beginning. With Zohran being a Shia, and his Syrian-American wife most likely being a Sunni, it marks another new beginning, where the New York Muslim population is sure to skyrocket. Both Sunni and Shia united, side by side... I know if I was a Muslim of any brand, considering migration, I would seriously consider New York city. And so we can expect a real transformation to take place.

What better place to bring the Muslim world together than in the United States - where modern-day multiculturalism is rooted. Perhaps a good place for a global caliphate even. Who knows!

Actually, it was once a pro-labor party--maybe not your father's but certainly my father's.

There are no socialists running for office in the USA. Socialism is the control of the means of production and commerce by the state, allegedly acting as a proxy for "the people". Socialism is not the presence of tax-funded programs or utilities. Indeed it has been argued quite effectively that such programs, as are seen in the Scandinavian countries, are fundamentally anti-socialist, because they create a more content workforce that is less likely to dispossess the capitalists. These programs are called "welfare capitalism" by those who actually understand socialism. Socialism requires prohibiting the private ownership of the means of production and commerce. A Prime Minister of Denmark felt it necessary to correct ignorant Americans, like Bernie Sanders, who insisted that countries like Denmark are socialist. Denmark’s prime minister says Bernie Sanders is wrong to call his country socialist

Before one starts a pearl clutching festival about "socialism", learn what socialism is and is not. There are no socialists in the USA who are currently in office.

So Mamdani isn't actually a Democratic Socialist, even though he says he's a Democratic Socialist?

...So he was elected based on a false claim. Perhaps he should have asked the Scandinavian's about it, beforehand, since they're the only one's who truly know.

Yes, he was running on ignorance. Name a single policy he mentioned in his campaign that actually is socialist.

 

[Landon Caeli]

Well, it depends on whose definition of socialist we're going with. Obviously it's kind of a fluid term, that varies depending on who you ask.

...Ask a Hungarian what a liberal is, and I bet it will differ from what someone in the UK says.

Goodness, what an offensively written article. "Screeching", "hysterical", "sobbing", "dopy"....

How about this: When you vote in a primary, especially in states where your party has a large majority, carefully research the history and political views of all the candidates and make sure you approve of the one you're voting for. Good advice, and we don't have to insult anyone.

And it's quite possible that Hillary manipulated things against Bernie, who might have won the party nomination otherwise. It kind of smells like it.

Not even the Democratic Party I was a part of back in the day. McGovern's long fought triumph is finally here.

How about the definition that can't be logically extended to include every single thing supplied by government? If any one government service is "socialist", then every government service can be "socialist". Police? Socialist. Fire protection? Socialist. Roads? Socialist.

The flip side of kids not being taught that white nationalism is bad is that they’re also not taught that socialism is bad. You guys are gonna have to find another boogieman if you want to scare anybody too young to tap their 401k.
