"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

Mamdani pisses me off so much, he has killed off most of the radical potential that could have come through his campaign and he has fucking betrayed Palestine. The only positive I see of his victory remaining is that thousands of people who supported him may come to recognise he is too moderate and go further left due to that. I can kind of see that happening already, the only question is to what extent does that happen.

The crushing of hope is so much worse than making it clear you will be shit when in office and being shit. And I cannot fathom how influencers who call themselves leftists, or even communists are still supporting him. People who aren't that knowledgeable on politics and in some left-liberal echochamber I can somewhat excuse for being 'baby socialists' and mainly only seeing pro-Mamdani content, but those like Hasan, Deprogram boys, Novara Media I cannot fucking excuse for not completely removing any support for him because they really, really should know better by this point regardless of whatever you could specifically consider them to be ideologically at this point.

Zohran Mamdani, the moderate removed of fascism. Fuck you.

Sorry for angry rant.

edit: I called him the word that rhymes with runt, I did not know that was banned here, bloody americans.
