#Food insecurity is a big concern in #NYC, but Zohran's proposals do not make any mention of food #cooperatives . Why? Check out latest video on my #YouTube channel Unabashed #Utopian about the issue. #Mamdani #DSA #socialism #brooklyn #inequality #poverty
@nikolas I looked for it, but couldn't find it. Could you post a link?
The fact that DSA doesn't seem to be aware of co-ops has really dampened my enthusiasm for them as an insurgent political force.

so not sure I would trust them if they said the sun was gonna rise in the east
@nikolas This is spot on. So far, DSA has taken fairly traditional social-democratic stances, at least as far as I can tell. That's an improvement over what any Republican and most Democrats offer, to be sure. But, I'm more interested in bottom-up approaches. Governments can support that, but only indirectly, because any government action is top-down by definition. So, I can see where DSA might not get excited about indirect action.
