I 100% understand why the author wouldn’t put their name on that article…

It’s shit tier writing that doesn’t understand anything it’s talking about, except that Mamdani is popular and won…

All of this confirms what the Revolutionary Communist International has been saying since Trump’s reelection last year: the US working class has not “shifted to the right” in any fundamental sense. Rather, the crisis of American capitalism, and above all the crisis of the US economy, is pushing workers towards anti-establishment politicians willing to take on the status quo.

For decades the problem has been that neoliberals moved to the right “fiscally” which caused republicans to go full maga to differentiate.

Republicans lost a few votes, but neoliberals lose even more to people who can’t hold their nose.

And of all places, I’d expect a site called “communist.red” to acknowledge that nothing Mamdani wants would be considered anything except middle of the road common sense policy in any other first world country.

Dem voters stayed where we’ve always been, it’s the party that was out wandering for a couple decade.

It’s really as easy as running pro-worker candidates again.

Caving to Republicans
