Mamdani is a controlled opposition. If ‘pro-Palestine’ leaders can see 3 years of genocide and still condemn the resistance before or after condemning the perpetrators - they are not going to save us from fascists.

If you think Mamdani is a psyop then you might as well just become right wing dude, because 1) we’ve already lost beyond all hope and 2) tbh you’re gullible AF

The NYPD under Mamdani escorted Netanyahu to the UN and is having protestors arrested (including Hannah Einbinder and Susan Sarandon) and he’s (Netanyahu) still going after him. You have to laugh at this point, no meaningful antizionism anywhere in power. But don’t worry. He posted a new viral PR video so he’s definitely ‘resisting’ Zionists.

That doesn’t mean he’s controlled opposition, it means he’s a social-democrat who’s experiencing the limitations of what you can do within the structures of the capitalist state. This is why Marx and Lenin empasize the necessity of breaking down the old state, and building a new one. The police of the old, bourgeois state will not simply accept a progressive leadership, it will continue to act against the interests of the working class, whoever their ofiicial boss is. A similar thing just happened in Germany: Die Linke won the Berlin state elections. Their platform included that the growth of the police budget should stop, and there are now multiple newsstories going around filled with anekdotes about how they won’t be able to do their job under a Die Linke administration. This behaviour is to be expected of the police in these circumstances, it does not mean Mandani is secretly controled by the CIA.

online larpers performing opinion politics rather than active politics hate nuance. It’s pointless to argue with them. Just let them rot in their forgotten corner of the internet. There’s a future out there to win.
