Yeah I also think she's wrong to make that comparison, although I guess I understand what she's saying once you accept she's somehow calling Stalin a social democrat. The situation is a bit different between one DSA mayor versus the organized USSR on the brink of war.

It's kind of a moot point anyway. Because although Mamdani does enjoy a degree of political clout and has a genuine amount of bargaining power, he's still just one mayor. He's not really in a position to declare the independent socialist republic of NYC, nor do I think he'd want to. He's a cog in the machine now. Of course he's going to play ball with the fucking president, even if he does personally think Trump is a fascist. He's the mayor-elect of NYC, not some hardened revolutionary general or whatever some people think he is
