Guy who said he doesn't have any problem working with MAGA remaking the debut film of a trans director who went to their grave in the closet? Hmm.

Eh... After his whole "learn the other person's point of view" comment about people whose point of view is that I shouldn't exist, no interest in ever seeing his work ever again.

It is impossible to deliver radical, life-transforming change within our lifetimes through our electoral system helmed by two capitalist parties.

yeeeeaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh.. I DON'T WANT radical life transforming change via unelected parties because I'm NOT RETARDED.

COVID was a radical life altering change outside of the electoral system. So was 9/11 for many New Yorkers.

Trump and co. are really doing a number on the day care economy.

The crypto sugar daddies no longer have money to throw around for free dinner dates. USAID cancelled so Chadbambas from Kenya can't go vacation at the UN building in New York for the "climate" and likewise feminist groups can't go to "seminars" in Paris or Singapore on "reproductive rights". SNAP is canned so "free money" has been thrown out. AI is automating all the bullshit email jobs and big tech is laying off most mediocre staff and not hiring any junior positions. The government is shutdown so that supply of wfh funsies is also not available. All the stuff they want, wine, dubai chocolates, muslim prayer mats, gucci bags, iphones, tariffed to hell and back. Not to mention deporting all the servants like uber drivers and cooks.

I can see why shitlib New York is converting to communism. The lattes might be less full but all those 86% of women that voted for Mamdani are worried that if they can't afford their $5000 rent to be in the area where they can demand princess treatment from simps and suckers or live "independent" filling out spreadsheets or blogging - the gravy train is over. 

New York is not the only place where this culture exists but it's certainly the mecca of shitlibism where mid 6's (m/f) believe they are 10's spending other peoples money.

The funny thing is though that big tech is now considering to join the communist revolution because it turns out they don't really have the money to build the datacenters either and China might win this thing anyway.

That there are stores dedicated to funkopops amaze me. They've stuck around longer than Stanley cups and at least with Stanley cups, they're functional. Funkopops are just poorly designed monuments to capitalism.

I guess I'm not surprised from the "normies". They elected Trump.

But I broke my cable news embargo to watch some Zohran stuff. I voted for him, for the record. That is my bias!

However, seeing these hack talking heads talking about Cuba, Venezuela. Do they even know what Democratic Socialism is, it's still Capitalism! It's Norway, Sweden, etc. Like WTF, man.

Again, these are not the Trump talking heads like Scott Jennings, but the liberal ones.

A few do understand like Medhi Hasan, Bakari Sellers, but many are clueless.

If I was a talking head, I would actually my study the stuff I commentate on. Not just bliovate on out of ignorance. I guess my cable news embargo should've stayed lol.

Maybe I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure Norway and Sweden don't have government owned grocery stores and free bus fares, so just pointing to those countries to describe Zohran is arguably misleading

[benji]

He means social democracy, not democratic socialism. First post gets it correct.

But the thread is stupid anyway:

The media is owned by the wealthy. They have a vested interest in keeping people uneducated in this.

Keep in mind, largely there is a forced narrative to conflate and misinterpret the word by design to protect the status quo of the wealthy. Donors know the difference, but they don't want it.

I have deeply liberal family members that scoff and roll eyes when I noted my support of Warren in 2020 during the primaries(before Biden won it). Socialism was as much a corrupted idea to them as it is in the deep red populace.

Cable news media is conservative propaganda.

Check out the Bezos owned Washington Post. The entire editorial board put out this banger, I guess someone forgot to tell them the election is over.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/11/08/zohran-mamdani-class-warfare-new-york-mayor/

The entire opinion piece is a beautiful work of, "and another thing, I'm not mad." But I love this banger at the end, stay mad Bezos:

Exit polls showed that the New Yorkers most skeptical of these utopian promises are those who were born in the city and don't have college degrees. Mamdani fared best among newcomers and people with advanced degrees. Apparently, living in New York for decades — and witnessing what does and doesn't work when it comes to running a city — offers more wisdom than grad school.

they didn't just forget to google it. It's their job to carry water for oligarchs

I thought I was reading the WSJ for a second lol.

What's even worst about this is that is the Editorial Page, not their columnists, whom are usually dignified hot take artists--like most newspapers to be fair.

The Editorial Page is the usually the consensus opinion.

The left needs to just drop the socialism label. Democratic socialism is the lamest attempt to reclaim the word. It's meaningless, its inclusion of socialism causes confusion, and it is very easy for bad actors to manipulate.

I've been seeing comments like the OP's for twenty years. There's a reason no one understands.

I honestly think if we proposed public libraries, for the firs time, today, it would be called "Socialism".

LOL.

Same with fire departments.

"Maybe, it was your fault your house burned down. Why should I pay for your accidents?"

/modernamericanvoter

The talking heads on TV know what it is. They're just scared to death of it upsetting the power balance so they spew lies that half the country eats up.

Socialism is the dirtiest word when a handful of billionaires, with no concept of noblesse oblige, run things.

Not a New Yorker or an American but am a leftist. I agree it would be a good idea to drop the term socialist because the baggage it comes with. I'm an anarcho-socialist and the amount of eye rolls I get when I tell people irl my political position is aggravating. People do not understand what anarchism is, let alone socialism, just the lie conservatives tell them in order to shut down discourse.

Conservatives know they can't actually win against people first policies so their only form of attack is to make their opposition look absurd so it isn't taken seriously.

 

This is why cable news sucks. The opinion piece used to be a carefully researched and presented section of the news program. Now everyone can fart an opinion on the fly and it's labeled news.

 

Seems that people outside of the Nordics have a very outdated idea of how it works here. Especially Sweden is quite bad these days and is fully a neo-liberal shit hole.

 

Socialists should be communists that are hiding their power level because the US still has an intense anti communist policy. Going by Zohran's victory speech and some of his other statements, I do think he genuinely thinks the workers should seize the means of production, but he is being tactical to stay in the electoralism lane of socialism. We will see if he is co opted by the capitalist Democratic Party and capitulates, which is always a risk of joining a bourgeois party rather than running under a socialist party.

And yet they all send their kids to public school and drive on public roads.

people in general don't know what socialism or communism are at the basic level, let alone going into the layers.

 

OP they totally understand.

This is scary if you are one of the billionaires that actually own this country. The fact that anyone would dare question or challenge them and be successful is scary to them.

You just havre to remember that the media is controlled by the rich so the narrative is going to be crazier than normal as they try to shut him down.

Maaan these motherfuckers will talk about this that and the other problem being socialism and if you say that those are issues of capitalism they lose their minds. People have been so heavily indoctrinated into "capitalism or bust" they literally can't imagine any other way ever. Americans specifically are so cooked. At least the ones that are against people like Mamdani.

I saw a picture a few days ago of a slum stretched against a rich urban area with the caption saying this is the world under socialism, and someone correctly pointed out that "no, thats the world under capitalism, thats literally a drawing of Brazil" with a literal real life picture of that very same thing in Brazil. And somehow you have people arguing that Brazil is not a capitalist country. They're actually just lying to themselves. They HAVE to be deranged or something. In what world is Brazil a socialist country? Its run and influenced by capitalism like every other damn country.

On communism its crazy how the US has turned this ideology, one of the most important to ever be presented, as some boogeyman instead of what it is. Im not that smart, but even I understood what I was taught about it in middle and high school. Is see a lot of people go to the classic examples of why it doesn't work, and I just kinda understand that they didn't "work" because it either wasn't actual communism, was sabotaged by the capitalist world at large, or it was a country with a terrible dictator.

also, i mentioned it in another thread, but as a non-american, it was baffling how a rich country like the U.S.A still views communism as some 'ancient evil' in the year of our lord 2025.

yeah, I know, communism is essentially the U.S.A's greatest enemy lol (which explains a lot), but seriously, it's 2025. Marxism is quite literally the most important socioeconomic analysis alongside liberalism, every modern political ideology essentially are oscillations between the two. It's routinely touted in the most prestigious universities and some of the greatest minds of philosophy, economics, aesthetic theory and almost any other area of knowledge were known marxists

It's also profoundly a part of most of the world's globe politics. You have multiple communist, not socialist, parties in Europe, Africa and Latin America. Hell, marxism is arguably the most important political ideology for colonized nations, and responsible for a great of anti-colonial movements and anti-imperialism thought. It is simply mindblowing how the USA views communism

 

I don't understand this idea. Maybe that's something about the american reality, but "tell them how you will help them succeed in their life" is literally part of revolutionary or non revolutionary socialism, and communism. "The inclusion of socialism causes confusion" is not always the norm. There are several contemporary politicans across Latin America, Africa and Asia who reached prominence not because they distanced themselves of the revolutionary aspect of capitalist rupture, but because they embraced it.

It makes me confused actually. Do people think socialism or communism have zero short term solutions for capitalism? That it is all about a long term goal of revolution and the end of capitalism? Mamdani won without saying he's a socialist, but would it impossible to win if he did say it? Maybe in the U.S.A, which is unfortunate. Besides, hasn't the DSA actually been steadily going even further left? Away from social democracy, into socialism, just not a revolutionary one.

I mean, the DSA straight up states, and I quote: "Capitalism is a system designed by the owning class to exploit the rest of us for their own profit. We must replace it with democratic socialism, a system where ordinary people have a real voice in our workplaces, neighborhoods, and society." That's not maintaining capitalism, that's destroying it.

The DSA, unlike many, straight up acknowledges the U.S' position as the nexus of contemporary imperialism, for example, stating one of it's goals is to: "End economic sanctions that impact the sovereignty of countries whose governments act independently of the United States, such as Cuba, Venezuela, and Iran." That's far above and beyond today's position of almost every U.S politican about Cuba, Venezuela and Iran.

I know that the DSA is a decentralized organization, and thus, shares many politicians who don't endorse all of it's goals. Yet, we cannot say that those that ally themselves with the DSA are unaware of organization's objectives: end U.S imperialism, the exploitation of underdeveloped nations by historical western powerhouses and ultimately, replace capitalism as a whole with a worker-focused, collective economical system. Are those goals that unpopular to americans? If so, that is profoundly saddening.

Those goals are unpopular to everyone, there's barely any countries in the world where this wins fair elections.  

i have to imagine that anyone over the age of 25 has lived enough to not afford to think that there is a "misunderstanding" at play rather than a concentrated effort to unroot the the basis of any useful conversation by deteriorating the political discourse. like. it's known. democratic socialism is not complicated, you can just take a look at social democrat parties in US/EU and get a good sense of what it means in a contemporary western context, and go wider if necessary. these people are not dumb. they are invested in disabling any ability to truly apprehend the state of things and to imagine a better future.

[benji]

Half that thread is "this is just a smear they use against anyone they don't like" and like Mamdani literally said he wanted to seize the means of production and all that jazz in the past. He's the one who backed away from it as he tried to win an election.

Not surprised a weak lib (bald?) centrist doesn't want to impose radical life-transforming change on everyone against their will in line with what they truly want. This is why y'all aren't serious and posting on this forum is a waste of my time and emotional labor much like the Sonic franchise.

edit: Now that I think about it, much of that forum's time is spent complaining about how "radical, life-transforming change" is being delivered by fascists/Trump/chuds/billionaires/Zionists/techbbros/Joanne/etc. and they're all going to wind up suffering or dead because of it.

One of the first threads I commented on after I joined was the Tortured Poets Department OT. At that time I was living in the back seat of my car, literally starving to death (6'4" down to 138lbs), writing very dark poems and living in abject hell, a loneliness and fear beyond description.

I brought up the irony that a billionaire who has never experienced any actual torture makes light of a millenia of misery, and was another example of super rich people love cosplaying poors. and it's just lol haha an inside joke from Travis. I was just saying it was in bad taste and the defense force basically called me delusional.

The title of that album basically implies or is interchangeable with "starving artist." For most of human history art and poetry came from poor, miserable people, and now art seems a luxury for the rich, because most poor folk are too occupied with trying to survive, working jobs that drain them of mental energy.
