Mamdani's electoral victory is entryist though, so it's not an example of the standard Marxist line regardless.
Is it entryism? Like entry into the democratic party? Like I said I'm hesitant to draw sharp conclusions like this, I'd need to see some of the analysis behind calling it entryist, and that analysis would have to include a lot of detail pertaining to the political character of NYC-DSA.
Also curious what the "standard Marxist line" is related to Mamdani's victory. Sounds like abstraction, which is fine, but a Marxist's abstraction is only as good as the particulars it allows us to tactically engage
It's entryism because he ran as a Democrat, rather than under the banner of a socialist party. Being under the discipline of a bourgeois party is not conducive to advancing a socialist platform.
Yeah, I agree. Factions in DSA call it the party surrogate strategy, these are the factions that make up the largest parts of the membership in NYC-DSA and represent the moderate social democratic wing of the org. NYC is also the largest and most electorally successful chapters in the org, which creates some deliberate tensions in contrast to DSA national.
