appreciate it! there was some point you made too that raising the minimum wage actually helps the top of the LA remain entrenched thru landlordism and that by focusing on land reform (i.e. landback) it might be possible to split off some of the lesser earners of the LA or something like that correct?

With the nodding approval of Marx, Engels and Lenin, it is now justifiable for the government to sell land to private owners lol.

We have this kind of “Marxists”. In fact, many such cases.

the kind Vladimir Ilyich would have shot everbody

There are no Marxist voices in the mainstream today. All the distinguished Marxist economists have long been banished to the humanities and social science departments long ago. They do write books, sometimes articles/blogs on the internet, and newspaper columns, but they have very little influence on policymaking

do you have any ideas of how/if/when this will change?

Temper your expectations

then just say that instead, "Bookmarking all yall for a year from now" is dripping with condescension and anticipation of getting to do a "i told you so" to everyone posting about mamdani

i'll take the enlightened centrist^TM^ position in that calling him an outright lib like aoc doesnt really seem accurate with his past public comments and even the campaign he ran. but even assuming once he gets elected that he wont get utterly ratfucked in some way during his term (or even he turns out to be the most brilliant demsoc ever and manages to outplay the attempted ratfuckery i would be shocked if he were not imprisoned/assassinated at that point), isnt hopium it's copium. i also think there's plenty of stuff to criticize him about and i think people have been fawning over him here a little too hard, no im not saying he should have gone on stage and shouted death to isr*el but i also think he could have been more advesarial to the media when they kept calling him an antisemite.

idk the flipside of this is that if we shot every landlord in the country + shot the grocery store price gougers + built robust public transit it would be very easy to live off minimum wage. I suppose that is harder for people to imagine in their head (pay stays same or even goes down but cost of living plummets vs an extra 30k in their yearly take home pay), but i have been reading some arguments about wages in the first world vs 3rd world (on twitter tbc lol) and i find it convincing that fighting for increased wages as a first world communist will probably just end up strengthening the LA instead of increasing class consciousness, @[email protected] could explain better, it's a little hard following discussions on twitter because i dont have a twitter account and have to manually remember the communist accounts i like on there and click around looking for stuff lol
