I truly hope he doesn't turn out the way I think he will turn out. I know we have a lot of people on here who love Mamdani, and I'm not trying to pick a fight. But goddamn, he's not beating the allegations these days.

So I'm the idiot for knowing the extremely common meme. I didn't say death threats, I said death wishes. What the fuck did you think you were evoking? Check yourself and your moment of being the asshole.

We're both on 5 year accounts, let's not let a simple disagreement turn into actual bad blood. I appreciate you contributing interesting and educational analysis to the conversation above. That's a lot more useful than essentially calling our comrades here working with the campaign now liberals out of hand. Frankly, I was just turning your invocation of theory around on you because if you're going to pull it as a cheap dismissal so will I. You didn't offer the suggestion in good faith and neither did I, so don't pretend you're on the high ground on that lmao. My interjections across this post is to say the dooming and disrespect being shown to people putting in real work on this is uncomradely and unnecessarily divisive until the evidence is in, nothing more. It's not all about you and your psycho social profile, simply meeting your glib energy. I'm not an electoralist or tailist myself so no, I'm not going to go digging for a quote for a position I don't support.

There may be an interesting conversation to be had about whether the material conditions of Lenin's time can even remotely be compared to our own given how meek and completely off the radar leftist theory is from public consciousness in America, and that may entail that previously unviable strategies might be worthwhile transitory ones at least until socialist theory gains wider recognition. I mean, just look at how many people radicalized after/during Bernie's campaign. Did it achieve socialism? Of course not, but it shook off the brain worms from the word itself for a lot of people who were red scare polluted because it was just part of the cultural zeitgeist.

But I suggest we cool it and post again on better terms another day. You get what you put out into the world and we're both tasting venom.
