We are all walkin' here on this blessed day.

There's a definitely a lesson here to run more socialists locally.

For now. When you first build your local bastions, you can later start playing a national role. All large, national movements which we know from history are build on the local organising of unknown and unsung comrades.

You need both. Federal and State government can undermine municipal governments, while some things like labor laws are only defined in the state and federal level.

There's also a capillarity issue, socialist parties are usually small, so they can't organize effectively in every municipality, so they need to focus on a few key regions where their bases are strong.

iconic. also a great location to smoke k2

You weren't kidding...

This is what Democrats say every time they nominate anyone.

Man I am as cynical as the next 40 year old anarchist, but the amount of people shitting on Zohran because he didn't literally say "Death to Israel, Death to America, unlimited genocide on the first world" when being hounded by liberal journalists for a damning soundbite has been so fucking tiring.

I just start asking these people "Do you actually live in Palestine? Or are you just an edgy baby ML speaking over actual Palestinians?"

And sure him winning the mayoral race won't fundamentally change anything on that front materially, but it's a pretty good indication of a major sea change in US politics and a rare opportunity to push people further left. I think much like the liberals think somehow electoralism alone will magically improve things, a lot of western communists are content waiting for someone else to start a vanguard for them while they smugly play armchair revolutionary from the sidelines.

I am not saying their analysis is necessarily wrong when they point out that he's still no Lenin but like look where we are. Nobody in places like this are under any illusion that he is actually a revolutionary, it's just nice to see someone with at least a baseline of correct politics to get a victory in this fascist shithole.

I've never been to NY but I did go to Seattle last year and that place is pretty fuckin rad. I went and took a picture with the big Lenin statue

With the possible exception of the Weather, which I've heard described as "Brisbane, but it snows too"

They don't? Did that change like last year?

Eric Adams?

A certain kind of leftist (mostly "progressive" liberals) are slobbering over this guy the same way they did with AOC, Bernie, Fetterman etc.

Also great username. I once had a chinchilla named Ghostface Chinchilla
