"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

He met with Trump. Trump seemed to really like him. Mamdani kept saying he was going to make NYC great again with his groceries store plan. Trump ate it up and likes to be pictured agreeing with popular people. The right is reacting as weirdly as expected to Trump seemingly agreeing with a leftist juhadist radical Muslim socialist communist anarchist (TM). Trump also told Mamdani to continue calling him a fascist. I think he thinks it’s just a mean word used to tease politicians.

I think the post’s contention is whether or not Mamdani was intentionally trolling Trump/the right wing or if he was a playing a socdem political acquiescence or if he’s actually doing actual realpolitik in NYC’s favor. IMO, probably a little of all that.

Thanks for the explanation!

Interesting point too.

I just saw this on xhs. TL;DW: he thinks mamdani is another pressure valve to preempt a revolution.

I think normal people like to post fun things and use emojis. Most people are not poisoned by several layers of irony.
