Welfare is not equal to handing over the means of production to the working class. So what mamdani is doing is not socialist.
You're right, is Social Democracy. But that's where we are, politically these days. The largest socialist organization in then U.S. (the DSA) is ostensibly not socialist in policy. Anything slightly left of RAGING corporate handouts and bombing brown people is COMMUNISM now.
hold on i thought communism is when government does stuff and the more stuff it does the more communism it is.
on the other hand these are reforms that marxists and communists should definitely support even if this is just basic social democracy.
