The Washington Post is pissing and shitting itself, while hyping up Mamdani as the second coming of Stalin. sicko-wistful

But it’s important to recognize that high rents are a function of too much government rather than too little

The old propertarian classic of "everything that sucks a lot about capitalism is actually communism"

This, but unironically. The government should stop enforcing evictions, right? anakin-padme-2

sure, but don't think slumlords wouldn't hire some private goons to do them instead

[–] Trying2KnowMyself@hexbear.net 59 points 4 months ago (4 children)

It is about identifying class enemies — from landlords who take advantage of tenants to “the bosses” who exploit workers — and then crushing them.

waow-based

I thought they were trying to make me dislike Mamdani - what happened to telling me about denouncing Maduro, wapo?

[–] AernaLingus@hexbear.net 33 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

“the bosses” who exploit workers

Lol at the scare quotes. Didn't realize we'd already fully collectivized all industries

edit: Good to see that the WaPo comments are all dunking on it, though. Even the libs can't stomach this crap.

[–] VILenin@hexbear.net 24 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

When liberals don’t have an argument they put facts they don’t like in scare quotes as if it debunks it

[–] spectre@hexbear.net 26 points 4 months ago

DemSoc candidate wins and the right wing (from establishment Dems over) start absolutely falling apart because they have to argue to explicitly not tax the rich, don't stabilize public rents, don't take definitive action to stabilize grocery access and prices, don't fund better public transit.....

They are going to be doing the work for Mamdani and future succdem/demsocs every step of the way. If there's dozens or hundreds like them, it wouldn't be too wild to expect a more principled anti-imperialist slip in somewhere along the way. Won't solve everything, and that person won't be as popular, but heads are gonna spin for sure.

and then crushing them.

Real telling how the hogs love saying how women and any kind of minority need to be genocided and coexistence is an impossibility. AND they keep smugly posting some stupid Frieren shit about demons….

…But the nanosecond someone doesn’t think the government should be directly replaced by the rich? “Awww shucks poors, why we gotta fight? Can’t we all just get along?”

[–] radio_free_asgarthr@hexbear.net 50 points 4 months ago

I like how they bring in Lina Khan's endorsement, calling her a hardened ideologue. This rabid, Marxist, hardened ideologue that did the extremely radical thing of actually enforcing anti-trust laws that have existed for a century.

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 44 points 4 months ago (5 children)

People’s lives, in Mamdani’s world, can be improved only by government: “We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve, and no concern too small for it to care about.” The crowd cheered, of course, but a thinking person might wonder whether it’s good for the institution that has a monopoly on violence to insist that nothing is beyond its purview.

Since when has the liberal media cared about the states monopoly on violence? Did the editorial board become an anarchist collective after Mamdani won?

[–] LeninWeave@hexbear.net 20 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

The monopoly on violence also exists regardless of what the mayor says. There's not a magic "size of the state" where slashing social programs somehow changes that dynamic.

[–] SkeletorJesus@hexbear.net 19 points 4 months ago

A thinking person might recognize that, in its monopoly on violence, the state automatically retains a universal purview, as violence is always the negotiation technique of last resort.

[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 10 points 4 months ago

Forever wars? Supporting the most sheerly genocidal campaign in 80 years? Spying on all citizens with gigabytes of data apiece? Mass incarceration? Secret police kidnapping people off the streets to send them to black sites in foreign countries? I sleep.

Somebody in NYC wants regular people to have affordable rent, transportation, and childcare? THIS SHIT IS TYRANNICAL GOVERNMENTAL OVERREACH.

[–] ANarcoSnowPlow@hexbear.net 8 points 4 months ago

Hey now, anarchists are always happy to see capital wetting itself.

It is probably the most liberal thing you could do to never acknowledge the state monopoly on violence until someone to your left is wielding it.

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago

Ah, looks like the “based tradcath proud nazi groypers” are suddenly pretending to be principled anarchists I see.

White Men seem to trust the government to make their lives better, so miss me with this “but it’s the principle government bad”. The private sector had its chance and they blew it.

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 39 points 4 months ago (1 children)

reminds me of all the people in the jim crow era being like "these civil rights protestors are dividing us by race"

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 6 points 4 months ago

Like how unaware can you get?

“What? You don’t like it when I want my race to genocide your’s? That’s DIVISIVE! I liked you better when you let me antagonize you in peace!”

Typical pig, “freedom” is the freedom to be a cancer on the earth and not even be made to think about it.

The Washington Post has an office in New York City located at 20 W. 22nd Street, 17th Floor

Any actual socialist takeover would be shutting them down right now.

milton friedman came back from the grave and he's ready to start calling bill clinton a communist

[–] LadyCajAsca@hexbear.net 14 points 4 months ago

waow-based, but then again, comrade Mamdani would have had them shut down already if he was even more based.

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 13 points 4 months ago

every time i correctly criticize zohran for some chauvinist liberal shit he didn't have to say in public, i see shit like this and get whiplash from how good of a job he's doing making the hogs normalize the idea of actually cool stuff.

[–] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 12 points 4 months ago

I'm pissing myself too but because I feel so relieved I've lost all muscle control. Just hearing those words in America from an elected official was unthinkable but here it is. Now let's get some anarchists in there, maybe just one for me for now.

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 6 points 4 months ago

“identifying class enemies — from landlords who take advantage of tenants to “the bosses” who exploit workers — and then crushing them. His goal is not to increase wealth but to dole it out to favored groups. The word “growth” didn’t appear in the speech, but President Donald Trump garnered eight mentions.”

SQUEAL PIGS, SQUEAL!
