It's not "centrist". Mamdani is centrist. They're prioritising the interests of the owner class over those of the common people because they're in pockets of the oligarchy. Which also why they'd rather hand their country to the fascists than question the status quo.
Holy shit. Lemmy calling Mamdani centrist is... Chefs kiss just peak Lemmy
I'm not Lemmy. I'm just one guy. And I really don't know what you're trying to say here.
Because political discourse on this platform is deeply unserious. Calling Mamdani centrist is bizarre. It's clear that to you and the members of certain instances everything that is not the complete people's ownership of the means of production constitutes a "centrist". There is absolutely no nuance and it's quite silly. Calling the guy that is running government run grocery stores "centrist" because he hasn't yet nationalized all private entities is really endemic of how this platform is unwilling to move the coalition forward because it is not interested in achieving the goals of socialism; it is only interested in idealizing it through abstract terms but never ever should we dare contend with the real world and how these ideas get implemented.
Well I'm glad we have deeply serious people like you to explain it to us poor fools.
I don't claim to be the fountain of wisdom or savvy in terms of political theory. But I do recognize how asinine the discourse can be here. It's clear no socialist on Lemmy is invested in this ideology enough with regards to executing actionable change.
If Mamdani is centrist that means regular dems are quite far on the right
Yeah kinda. Establishment dems are neoliberals, an ideology popularized by Reagan.
Most certainly. In Germany the corporate Democrats would be considered far right on most issues.
Yes.
As a European, I absolutely agree
They are.
America has two parties: moderate right-wing and fascist.
I have some issues with the EU party mapping onto the PCM there...
Anarchists are not libright, for one...
Ancaps maybe... but anarchist?
To be honest, I'm not sure our conservatives are even in the bounds of that box anymore.
Yes, Dems are center-right
Regular Dems are pretty right. And I am not even one of those super hyoer communist lefties.
I'd say he's center left coz of policies like government run grocery stores.
No, don't you see, he hasn't yet seized the means of production, so he's an establishment democrat paid opposition. Vivre la revolucion!
