I didn’t pay him any attention since I don’t live in NYC and resigned from the DSA a couple years ago. I saw him on TAFS, he seemed cool.
Do you really claim that he’s a Revolutionary, though? From what I’ve read about him since I learned about him after he won, he seems more like a neo-Keynesian, new-New Dealer, “Municipal Socialist.” Which is good, all the major cities should have people like that in charge.
But I didn’t get the feeling that he’s interested in pursuing revolution, or even building a mass workers movement or a new socialist party... is he even a Marxist? I am, not that everyone else has to be. But I like the guy and I think he’s gonna do a good job for his city. I just don’t think he’s going to lead us into revolution. But I could be wrong, who knows?
Little patience or the luxury of considering political abstractions. Have ya got a report on a Mamdani policy and of any candidate's previous record in any kind of Public Interest gig or office? Then let us talk. The election is over and Mamdani is living in Gracie Mansion, is he not? I'm way over on far Pacific Coast, yet always keeping abreast of what remains of NYC newspapers having been raised a Flushing boy...Queens kid and once upon a time faithful Village Voice along with Soho News reader and political, socio-econ pluralist:

A lecture organised by University of Tübingen economics students, delivered on Monday February 3, 2020, on the theme "From an Economics without Capitalism to Markets without Capitalism".
Mainstream economic models lack some important features of really-existing capitalism, including money, time and space. Its models offer ideological cover for a capitalist system that has usurped competitive, free markets.
The result? Unbearable inequality, climate catastrophe and permanent stagnation. A fork on the road is approaching: It will take us either into deeper stagnation and environmental degradation or to a society with markets but no capitalism. Prof. Yanis Varoufakis talks about the future of our economy and the current state of economics with special regard to pluralism in economics.
New kind of politics? I rather disagree, I think it's a very old, tired and universally failed kind of politics. It's good old-fashioned Marxism endorsed by not the working class by the way but by the disaffected Gen Z degree holders that don't want to admit they wasted $100,000 in student loans to be indoctrinated and now I want to find a way out.
The true working class is not supporting this man or the movement. Polling proves that
I hear what you’re saying; I haven’t been impressed by him either (although I don’t live in NYC so I don’t really care). But obviously the working masses of that city support him, since he won the election by so much- or is there something I don’t know going on with the polls?
Always here for a good Nixon Agonistes reference....
