As someone who has been in several of the struggle sessions around him, I don't think he's the second coming of Lenin, but from what I've heard about his plans for NY, I generally think his position will be useful as long as attempts to implement them occur. He'll either get them through, which I think would increase leftward support, or he'll get ratfucked in the most blatant manner possible. Both are useful for agitprop. The only thing that would be a net negative, in my opinion, would be bending the knee.
From some of the vids I have seen come from him, it does seem like he's already planned around getting ratfucked to some degree when attempting to implement change and use it for agitation, but frankly, I've been busy, so I haven't consumed enough to take a hardened stance.
I worked on the campaign and can tell you with certainty that he has been prepared for resistance and ratfuckery all of the way
/gen is he prepared for them to bring the full violence of the state down upon him??
There has been discussion on detainment long before today’s Trump statement on denaturalization and deportation of Zohran
Tell him he rocks. And to clone himself and send us a cowboy Zohran.
There are a million cowboy Zohrans for those with eyes to see them
When are the Zohran Fedayeen sign ups coming for New Yorkers? Only somewhat kidding.
If you volunteer for the campaign enough you can def recommend some merch ideas and it will be considered. Just saying
I've been unemployed and realized too late the campaign was paying canvassers $30/hr (per the job posting). I would have done that!
Now I'm just refreshing his jobs page hoping for something new. I'm tired of tech work anyway.
Don’t sweat it too much. Only a handful of canvassers were getting paid (less than 100 out of 50000 if I had to estimate) and it was mostly to have people on staff who were fluent in one or more of the rarer languages found around the city to reach enclaves of particular language speakers that were hard to find regular volunteers for.
If that does describe you though, keep your eyes on the site around the second half of this month. Some new positions like that should be opening up. It’s pretty much all assessment and drafting up strategy for the time being.
I think Mamdani is the 2nd coming of Lenin
....jk. Unless 
I'd love to be wrong about that lmao
Mamdani will singlehandedly build socialism in one state. The City of New York will become the beating heart of the revolution that ends the American Empire. Great man theory ? Its time for great Mayor theory
NYC, the capital of Capital, would be a poetic start of socialism in the US if that were to happen
Okay, but who will slam Lenin for his take on municipal socialism once that happens?
Presumptively assuming Lenin will be wrong usually doesn’t end well
After reading Eric Adams and his backwards version of the Divine Right of Mayors, I can't see a reason why Great Mayor Theory shouldn't be gaining ground in the next few months.
I feel like he's the best possible version of a DSA social democrat. He's also really good at cable news interviews in a way that you almost never see. His ideology and demeanor actually reminds me a lot of Michael Brooks who had also planned on running for office in New York, and Brooks was fundamental in my radicalization
