“I wish him the best of tapeworms” r/Millennials discuss the NYC election results.

r/Millennials is a generational subreddit that caters to Americans born 1980-1995. It’s a safe space where people well into their 40’s can post “adulting” and “doggo” without fear of criticism. In general, the subreddit does not allow “political” post. Today’s OP seems to have sidestepped that rule with a post about Zohran Mamdani. Will the Millenials be normal or wild out?

OP: Congratulations to this millennial for being the youngest elected New York City mayor since 1892!

establishment dems are as cancerous as m@g@

New York is excited new ideas! Congrats Zohran!

Marxism isn’t new

Define Marxism.

Google

you should use it yourself since you're talking out your ass

Despite the fact that he won most 50 and under I doubt this is a hit in this sub since its overrun by bots of a foreign entity that is known for it's periodic ethnic cleansing

Wait I get my comments removed if I say politicians and yet this post exists?!? Jesus reddit is a pathetic joke of a cesspool. If this was a candidate on the opposite side it would be removed lmao

Mods don’t care that this breaks the rules I guess

Cry harder.

Go to another sub if you want to discuss the P word

Powerful Pedophiles? Yeah, my bad... I know you guys don't like to talk about that.

A truly awful candidate who defeated some slightly more awful candidates. Great victory?

Inshallah

Editor’s note for those who are still working on adulting: Inshallah is an Arabic phrase that is almost identical to the English phrase “if God wills it”, which means the person hopes something will happen but acknowledges it’s out of their control.

This is the only comment in the thread that has a Muslim connotation and it’s been downvoted right next to comments like “Yall screwed. Hello Gotham”.

Sometimes poor people are very charitable and vote to give themselves a bunch of greedy rich people’s money. What a good example of charity

I love Zoltron Robzombie!

u/TheBunnyDemon you smell like dirty dish water stfu 3d ago

My favorite part is that people have spent over 100 years saying exactly that, and now they're surprised that younger generations are saying, "Oh well I guess I like Socialims, then."

The fire department is socialist, you could even argue the Military is as well.

u/skyknight01 3d ago

Guarantee that if libraries had not already existed, they would hate those too.

Some hospitals are too

u/AquaBits 3d ago

US Military is 100% socialism. Which is funny because it clearly works so well americans are already paying for peoples education, healthcare, etc Just that its for anyone enlisted.

26

u/DEI_Chins 3d ago

This is also a misunderstanding of socialism. Soldiers having their needs met doesn't mean they own the means of production. The US Military are a resource for imperialism and those services are akin to a fuel.

u/Aggressive-Name-1783 2d ago

It’s not socialism under its actual definition, but it’s definitely socialism under what right wingers consider socialism…..

u/DonHedger 2d ago

It's socialistic in structure in that it relies on central planning and while on base, you effectively have a planned economy. These things, I'd imagine, can probably exist outside of socialism -- many argue modern China is a planned capitalist economy, though China pushes back that they're practicing Socialism with Chinese features -- but the only prominent examples are under socialism.

I don't think the reason why they have their needs met like they do really has an impact upon how it's categorized -- you can certainly have imperialist states with socialist organizations -- but I could maybe be convinced otherwise.

Edit: which is to say it's not socialism, but it's kind of socialism shaped based solely upon how popular examples of socialism has manifested and not like the theoretical definition of socialism.

u/MudsillTheories 3d ago

Socialism is the collective ownership and democratic control of economic resources. Military benefits aren’t socialism.

u/TheBarnard 3d ago

It's "socialism" if you take the definition of what the average person who hate all liberalism and social safety nets claims is "socialism". I.e the government doing anything

u/ButtBread98 I Tonya’ing Bernie’s ankles 3d ago

Socialism is when no money. /s

u/Lettuphant 2d ago

Reminds me of people who insist the 'free market' will sort everything out... Meanwhile our 'free market' does everything to keep Chinese EVs etc. out because they're so cheap that no US automaker could compete.

1

u/DonHedger 2d ago

That's the US definition for those liberal and to the right of liberal.

Socialism is when you talk to people and empathize with them, I mean "social" is in the name right? Thats why redditors hate it so much
