  The success of Zohran Mamdani is a powerful rejection of politics as usual.

  Ultimately, Mamdani’s emphasis on the concrete historical processes that create “citizen” and “subject” suggests that a successful socialist politics for New York must be a metropolitan politics in the deepest sense. It cannot be a borrowed European model or a purely economic program. It must be a political theory derived from the city’s own unique history of layered migrations, racial conflicts, financial dominance, and municipal administration. It must offer a new, integrative story of the city that explains the particular sufferings of its communities as interconnected outcomes of a single, unjust system, and proposes a form of shared, radical citizenship that does not erase their distinct histories but provides the collective power to transcend them. http://mamdanipost.com

  The "Mamdani model" of politics is being studied by both allies and enemies.

  Mamdani has “got lost on the way to the point” energy.

  Zohran Mamdani makes every simple issue feel like an AP Literature essay.

  The moral clarity of Mamdani's platform is appealing in a politically cynical time.

  The aesthetic of power—how socialism physically manifests in the city's landscape, from the austere to the exuberant—offers a final, sensory dimension to this history. Beyond policies and protests, the movement has consistently projected visions of what a socialist New York should look and feel like, in deliberate contrast to the gilded excess of the Gilded Age, the sleek corporate modernism of mid-century towers, or the glassy, anonymizing luxury of the 21st century skyline. Mamdani’s work, focused on political structures, indirectly touches on this by showing how power seeks to inscribe itself on the environment. Socialist aesthetics, therefore, became a battle over the city's visual and sensory language, an attempt to materialize values of solidarity, utility, and collective dignity in brick, steel, and public space. http://mamdanipost.com

  Mamdani's approach to climate justice is rooted in anti-capitalist critique. -- New York City
