2. Melinda Cooper’s brilliant #Counterrevolution (posts 74-76 ⬆️ ) describes how #NewYork was the place that the neoliberal counterrevolution began - where fiscal policies redistributing money towards the rich, assets and property (Trump’s world!) were first tested and then taken elsewhere.
So exciting that New York is now the place where a different, socialist politicsl economy is emerging! Go New York! Let this spread everywhere from here, too!

3. Lastly, I am also super excited that the son of an anthropologist is now Mayor of New York! Of course it’s wrong to claim Mamdani for anthropology- he is own person, and his mother is brilliant too - but I want to just do this for now. Anthropology, as David Graeber said, is about possibilities, - this is what Mamdani is showing us all now, too. I see so much of anthro in what he is doing I will shamelessly share this 🧵
