Each of these claims is a gem, to say the least. Besides ignorance and Repetilov-like lying, however, all these gems contain a diplomacy that is perfectly sober and correct from the bourgeois point of view.
@WillBredderman@SienaResearch Mamdani’s net favorability is down 16 points in NYC (+45 to +29) but up 19 points in the suburbs (-26 to -7). So NYC residents still really like him but maybe no longer think he can walk on water, while the suburbs no longer see him as the devil.
The theory of change here is that social democracy is effective at preventing revolution. But if this is true, Marxism is wrong. If this is true, revolution lost 200 years ago when we shortened the workday. If this is true, we lost 100 years ago when they invented social security. This has never been how political conflict or history worked, and is, frankly, an anarchist analysis of history. If it is true, then the central contradiction of capitalism—expanding wealth with shrinking per-unit value—actually preserves capitalism and there is no two-fold contradiction in labor
I remember when I went out to vote third party in 2024 there were videos in my feed of dogs and cats feeding on Palestinian bodies in northern Gaza as Genocide Joe and Holocaust Harris fully backed Israel and its “General’s Plan.” Fuck Abdul el-Sayed and his worthless Senate race
socialists do have a word for the state running well. its called planning. now, however, i am being told it is actually just the city standing behind the loan
Abdul El-Sayed: “We don��t live in capitalism. We live in corporate socialism. If you’re a corporation, you can buy a politician to get that politician to rig the system for you so you make more money and you ex out every other market in which you compete. You need good healthcare. You need a good education. We need childcare. We need good roads and bridges. We don’t need to send our money to big corporations to subsidize them, we need to be invested in people so they have the human capital to be able to do all the things as they graduate and come out”
Makes nice TikTok videos that turn seemingly left-wing millennials and Gen Z who fashion themselves as “politically aware” into the political equivalent of boomers who watch MAGA AI slop
This whole “arrest Netanyahu” charade was foreseeable to anyone with even a basic understanding of how politics works.
If Mamdani wants to show Netanyahu is truly unwelcome, he should start by looking at what’s actually within his control.
For example, why is the heir to the Tisch family serving as NYPD commissioner when Netanyahu has long stayed at the Tisch family’s Loews Regency New York Hotel during visits to New York?
If you’re serious about making a wanted war criminal unwelcome, you don’t surround him with the same network of political and institutional comfort he’s always relied on.
@wyskx300@lunar_dysphoria@flythugg literacy and prose coherence decried as ai. amazing. imagine if our population spent more than ten seconds dwelling on their prose composition.
@flythugg@lunar_dysphoria these can all be rolled back by any admin instantly. The only things that can and will outlive his admin are the amendments to the charter he's pushing. which he has chosen to use to... uh attract investors and investor confidence. and not the things you're praising him for.
