  • I'm sorry if my tone sounded harsh. It was mainly addressed for the rest of LEMMY that can't seem to understand how to build electoral power and move the goddamn overton window - LIKE AT ALL.

    THANK YOU

  • Ok. That's a nice analysis to have for the history books. The US electorate can't remember what happened 6 mos ago. Can we take this win with Mamdani? Can we take this one win please? Can we not purge him yet? Is that ok? I understand he's not the perfect leftist. I get it. Can we just take this and work with it?

  • This thread is about US politics. Go back to the first question I asked you. Also, Mamdani is in the US. I don't know why we need to constantly pivot. I guess, on a global scale "akshually mamdani is center-left gosh". Like, what an asinine useless take. Let me know when the rest of the world is ready to vote in us politics.

  • Who was more far left than Mamdani in the last two decades? Can you give an example?

  • Ah ok. Sounds like they didn't implement anything then. So we're just making stuff up now. Gotcha.

  • Yea? What have they "successfully implemented" in the US?

  • Excise him immediately!

  • In the last two decades in US politics? Like who? Name one

  • This is all vibes. You have no idea what you're talking about.

  • Anything that isn't a total leninist commie is "center left". I love it! You guys are so funny it's sad. Once again, the left proving is exclusively good at one thing and one thing only: purity testing the left.

    Also, I live in Europe. Mamdani is a boiler plate leftist here. Nothing you said is true.

    The word "left" is extremely fluid on Lemmy, it seems. When Mamdani is campaigning, it's a big tent word and Mamdani is definitely on the team. After the campaign, when the purity testing begins, "left" has strict leninist parameters in must adhere to. It's fun, isn't it

  • Hahaha the leftists have purity tested MAMDANI out of their circle. You can't make this shit up, Lemmy

  • I might be in the minority, but I enjoy every minute of that movie. Yea, it's masturbatory pleasure, but uuh.... Yea I'll take it.

  • Communists are absolutely interested in being politically effective.

    Tankies and online lefties are only interested in the esthetic of communism. They are not interested in platforming the mechanisms to promote the change needed. It's a fun game to toy and muse with but it has no direction or real world benefits. The discourse never branches out beyond the evils of western hegemony, because that would require concrete thinking and real world politicking, and we can't have that, can we? That would mean an end to the fun little circus that is Lemmy.ml

  • Being authoritarian is not a preclusion for being anti-western hegemony.

  • They are not communists or socialists. They are campists.

    The mistake is assuming they care about the political idealogy they ascribe to. They exist exclusively as an oppositional force to whatever the West represents. The reality is that if the Western hegemony disappeared tomorrow, they would lose their entire raison d'etre. They dont care at all about the principles of communism. It's an esthetic that they can bury themselves in order to criticize the West.

    Because engaging with the reality of effecting the goals of communism would entail coming to face with the brutal process of realizing effective change. You know, being politically effective. That would undermine the entire movement and modus operandi.

  • No. Nowhere in their post did they define authoritarianism. That's a strawman. Engage with the content, don't deflect

  • I think the party is going to evolve despite the apathy of online lefties. Fingers crossed. Boomers have to die at some point.

    It's interesting watching the lefties already turning on Mamdani (we're not even a year into his first term)

  • No, it debunks the appeal to nature as a basis for ethics and civilization
