Pt 2 NYC class consciousness: mainstream black media figure "capitalism's not working" "turn this energy into collective action to get shit done" "if Dems won't lead we'll take action our own way"
Between the gov't shutdown, Dems abdication while still clinging to decorum while everything burns or freezes on ICE, complete and total loathing of the party and its leaders, there is a serious opportunity for a socialist uprising.
It'll be up to us, in NYC and around the country (and to a larger extent in this financially strangulated world, the rest of the globe) to mobilize mass demonstrations and rallies in support of socialist agendas.
Mamdani has done a particularly fine job articulating the basic tenets of socialism and the importance of a movement behind it. People are living it and know it intuitively. But like with so much else because of a feckless, totally bought corporate media haven't had their own lives under capitalism explained back to them. Again, he's done a fine job elucidating this.
High profile political campaigns open up space for people to talk about real stuff, instead of being re-channeled into the usual social media slop and 24/7 entertainment Burgerland stupidity.
Something feels in the air.
