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
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
