A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, anti-communism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

No, he's demonstrating that Socialist policies can have a positive impact, and that means those policies will spread.
You can't expect the entire system to change on the day someone is elected. It takes time for new policies to percolate through the system, and for their effects to grow to a point where they actually start to make a difference.
That takes time, and Mamdani is only closing in on his first year, and his first year has been far more successful than any other new mayor I've ever heard of. He's certainly done a better job than any other NYC mayor in my lifetime.
I AM pissed that he's keeping that same unqualified Sociopathic Oligarch Nepo Baby Police Commissioner. She's Billionaire Scum, and she needs to go.
Those are not socialist policies that he's enabling, It's still reliant on the capitalist system of welfare
