ZOHRAN MAMDAN
Donald T*** and his MAGA’s are going apoplectic over the fact that a Democratic Socialist has been chosen to run for mayor in New York. Of course, any mention of the word “socialism” will do this, as they automatically connect it to communism, and they pound away at it because, as we all know, communism is bad. Of course, these idiots have no idea what they’re talking about. There is nothing new about Democratic socialism, and it seems to work pretty well in much of Europe. Consider:
Democratic socialism is a political and economic philosophy that advocates for a democratically elected government alongside social ownership or control of the major means of production and distribution. It advocates for universal services like healthcare and education, robust welfare programs, workers’ rights, and economic policies that reduce inequality while maintaining individual rights. It supports capitalism but rejects the idea that the bulk of a nation’s wealth flows upwards while the workers who produce that wealth struggle to maintain a comfortable place in society.
Democratic socialism specifically rejects centralized, autocratic rule and promotes change through democratic processes and active citizen participation. Myself, I don’t see anything horrible or objectionable in any of that; I am a Democratic socialist.
However, given the public face and espoused policies of Donald T****, his MAGA’s, his Ultra-Right Conservatives, Christian Nationalist and white supremacist supporters, I suspect that the things they cannot accept nor tolerate about Zohran Mamdani have less to do with his politics, of which they are fundamentally ignorant, than the fact that he is a Moslem, and he’s not white.
