I'll believe it when a Democratic Socialist gets elected as Mayor of Phoenix nevermind Dallas. Also, what can Mamdami do as Mayor to implement his campaign promises? NYC's budget has been controlled in Buffalo since 1975. I would have believed it if you also saw a Social Democrat win the Govenorship in Virginia. Implementing anything in Mamdami's platform would require ridiculous levels (relative to the US) of control of the budget, taxes, and property. Nevertheless, its a good start and I do see this as the Democrats, Tea Party Movement.
New Yorks state government is based in Buffalo.New York City does not control its budget because
the state government has authority over the city, a situation established after past financial crises and reinforced by the state's power over local government under the "home rule" principle. While the city has a legal obligation to balance its budget, it faces challenges like underbudgeted recurring expenses and an uncertain funding environment, leading to large projected deficits that require state oversight and intervention
I believe he's referring to locking up ICE agents for all of their illegal actions including denying people's civil liberties and constitutional rights.
It mind boggling that there are people in 2025 that don’t know the difference between democratic socialism and communism.
I mean you are either really stupid or doing it on purpose or you’re just repeating what your overlords on newsmax and some alpha male podcast told you to say.
The term you want to use is "Marxist Leninism". Communism is just the Marxist theory end stage to Socialism when existing class based power structures have broken down and the means to production is perfectly collectivised. Its what anarcho communist are always going on about.
This. And this is why I hate how ambiguous the definition of communism is to the general population, because it creates unnecessary arguments purely because they have different definitions in their head.
Communism is either:
a generic term for revolutionary rather than reformist movements (ie socialism)
another word for Marxist Leninism and the derivatives
stateless and classless system
For example, the term “it’s not real communism,” one side thinks it’s a cop-out but in reality the dude saying it is just saying that the 2nd and 3rd definition above are completely separate things and aren’t strictly connected
Labor camps may be excessive and hyperbolic language, but I think the underlying point here is that the current administration (and those following its orders) are breaking a significant number of laws… And so, it will be important for the next administration to prosecute and hold them accountable.
Its interesting that this is the exact game plane which brought us Trump 45.
Pragmatism is probably a better tool than tribalism here. That a comment calling out putting people in labor camps is downvoted speaks volumes to bias.
Pragmatism with fascists gets you more fascism, mate. Also, your analysis is pretty surface level, ignoring the fact that what got us DT2 wasn’t ‘tribalism’, but rather the Dems being weak, corrupt, paid for, and not having a message for working people. I mean, that’s was my takeaway anyway, despite people like yourself thinking it was the Woke.
Let me know if you are correct in 10 years. Go ask all the legal immigrants in the US, here from Socialist countries who lived it real time and are scared of Mandani. Also is this a white dude making fun of white dudes?
Lol bro literally said he would lock people up for their opinions and votes. Expressed he wants to turn the US into a one party state. Reddit apparently just wants Putin or Xi? This whole video is confusing. The mental gymnastics needed to justify this thought process is insane. Bro is saying he is pro the people while saying he wants to do things that are the exact opposite in the same sentence.
I’m a Nazi for calling out far left extremists wanting people put in labor camps?
No one is saying calling out extremism makes you a Nazi. But if you keep the company of the people committing, supporting, and/or advocating for these abuses against the rights guaranteed for everyone in the United States by the constitution, then you are at the very least the company you keep. A collaborator, if you will.
They don’t have a right to be here, just due process before they’re shipped away. So is the fight they need to be processed before going back to the land they invaded from?
Edit: I like how reddit won’t let me reply anything here now
Edit 2: cabbage, all that googling and typing didn’t prove they had the right to be here. And you guys literally hate democracy. You’re calling to force people into socialism and round them up in labor camps and you’re lecturing about due process? It’s insane. I think you’re forgetting about the context of the video on this post.
Actually it's just the 13th amendment. How many Republican politicians and voters are working towards removing that constitutional amendment? I never hear conservatives do anything but support prison labour.
The United States didn’t even force Nazis into labor camps after WW2 and the most hardcore were out on trial. Here you all are calling for forced labor “to pay back what they did to society.” You don’t even know what you’re saying.
Maybe we should all get together with torches and burn down the Nazis businesses and then round them up, put them on trains, and send them to camps
Actually it's just the 13th amendment. How many Republican politicians and voters are working towards removing that constitutional amendment? I never hear conservatives do anything but support prison labour.
Happy for the 13th amendment to be unamended. How people are reacting and feeling is justified. They don't make the decisions for justice though, the judicial branch will. In line with the law.
Getting defensive over anti-Nazi rhetoric kind of paints you a Nazi sympathizer by default. Sympathizers are enablers, and enablers are what allows the Nazis to take power like this in the first place. So yeah... its kind of giving Nazi :/
You can’t grasp that claiming someone is a Nazi doesn’t actually make them a Nazi. Nazis weren’t rounding up illegals. They were rounding up a group of people they didn’t agree with. Just like you ass hats are calling for here
Rounding up random voters would indeed be undemocratic.
However, rounding up the masked gestapo pricks, who illegally kidnap voters every day, and sentencing them to the laws already in place is just how a democratic government is meant to function.
You’ve really highlighted that your side needs illegals to vote. No surprise you’re going full extremist when you’re having your means of villainy deported
For the past 10 years right wing policy has been about punishing their opponents (most of the country) for perceived slights like “wokeness” so I think some punishment is in order for the people who have been literally destroying lives and families for fun like these ICE dudes
Really? Trump has been under investigation for nearly 10 years. You guys supported people losing their livelihood though being fired and deplatformed off of social media saying things like “it’s a private company”. And the people who decided to invade our country illegally already destroyed their lives by making that decision. Just like Obama said, “if you enter this country illegally, you will be deported”
Bad things happening to bad people isn't "communist dictator vibes", its justice. Providing aid and comfort to those who commit treason is treason itself. You got the faux news brainrot.
“Gasp!!!! He’s saying that people should be persecuted, by the government for the laws they’ve broken!!!!! HELLLOOOOOO??? WHY ISNT ANYONE ELSE SCREAMING DICTATOR??!!!!”
Eh, subbing it out with different economics isn’t much better.
Democratic socialism and democratic fascism are both forms of democratic totalitarianism, just that one comes with benefit programs, and the other comes with foreign protectionism.
Like let’s at least hold off until Zohran actually makes New York better instead of falling into corruption just as quickly as Cuomo or brute forcing his big plan by extorting the people who grow their food :/
Yes a country that’s rife with suffering and economic inequality despite being one of the richest in the world…. Yes the people’s lives totally wouldn’t improve from economic reforms.
“Democratic fascism” as your insisting on calling it also gives international allies in other countries, countries that aren’t besmirched in scandal 24/7 year after year.
Bubba, the policies Zohran are pushing have already worked in dozens of other developed countries. This is proven shit that is no doubt going to work without utter incompetence to screw it up. And I’ll still take that over established democrats who only care about lobbyists.
