In any other context, imagine hearing about an #adult zip tying #children to each other. No really, what would you call that?

The purpose of the #DemocraticParty is to paralyze lots of people who otherwise would be more actively involved in resisting #fascism. That's why it's gotten this far over decades.

Understanding the fantasies that make up #libertarian understanding of #money is key to understanding their cosplay worldview of the singular, atomized man.

Mayor to Mayor: a conversation between Bernie Sanders and #ZohranMamdani

In a nearly fifteen-minute video, #MamdaniForMayorNYC discusses the mayoralty of #BernieSanders in Burlington, Vermont, half a century ago, with the ex-mayor himself. There are plenty of archival photos and videos documenting that tenure.

They talk about the effort to make the city a more livable one for working people and the importance of eliciting their participation in that effort.

Sent by my wife, from the audience of tonights "Fighting Oligarchy" town hall in Brooklyn, with #BernieSanders and #ZohranMamdani

Bernie Sanders and Zohran Mamdani, sitting on stools, a table with water bottles between them, on a stage at Brooklyn College. There is a row of flags (US, and presumably NYS and NYC) behind them and a large blue curtain behind that.

They used #racial ideology to construct a global division of #labor, a massively inequitable global division of #wages, & a global #hierarchy of rights. Racial ideology was promoted so aggressively that it developed its own momentum of #hatred & #violence.

Overcoming #capitalism - in other words, transitioning to a #democratic #socialist #economy - is ultimately necessary to end structural #racism & #imperialist #violence.

#Racism, like #imperialism itself, is not a side-show to #capitalism but a structurally necessary feature of it. It is not a standalone problem that can be addressed with a few #liberal #reforms here & there. It has always been central to capitalism & it remains that way today.

And of course these very same discourses were deployed within the core itself, to justify paying lower #wages to radicalized people, & to deny them equal access to #resources.

... to provide the ideological scaffolding necessary to justify #apocalyptic levels of #exploitation & bloodshed in the periphery.
