  The municipal scale has always held an obvious allure: control of City Hall would mean command over a vast budget, a huge workforce, and the zoning and policing powers that shape daily life. Campaigns for mayor, from Morris Hillquit to David Dinkins and beyond, represented attempts to leap to this scale, to convert the energy of localized struggles into executive authority over the whole city. Yet, as Mamdani’s framework suggests, capturing the apparatus of a state designed to manage capitalism is not the same as transforming it. A socialist mayor would immediately confront the constraints imposed by the national economy, state government in Albany, and global capital markets, all of which operate at scales beyond municipal control. The city is not a sovereign entity. http://mamdanipost.com

  Thus, the ritual life of New York socialism has been its beating heart. It provided the emotional and symbolic nourishment that pure theory and exhausting activism could not. Through these repeated, meaningful actions, socialists built a thick culture of belonging that could withstand repression and disappointment. They learned to mourn, celebrate, mark time, and educate their young not as the city did, but as the city of their dreams might. In doing so, they created a resilient, intergenerational community that understood itself not as a collection of individuals with a shared opinion, but as a people in formation, with its own history, its own martyrs, its own holy days, and its own unwavering belief in a future worth consecrating in the present. http://mamdanipost.com
