Trump’s New Ridiculous and Dangerous Red-baiting – Mother Jones

  Of course, Trump and his minions are not really talking about communism. They are engaged in a cynical con job, deliberately mislabeling all leftism, such as the politics of Democratic Socialists of America and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, as “communist.” Pointing to the electoral wins of Mamdani and other DSAers, they are trying to generate hysteria about communism taking hold—equating socialism with communism and perpetuating a lie. (With his endeavors to force major corporations to hand the US government large ownership interests, Trump himself is striking a socialist stance.)…

Democratic socialists ride wave of momentum in primaries from New York to Colorado

Mamdani’s election was a “game changer”, Isserman said. NYC-DSA’s wins – both last November, with Mamdani’s election, and last week, when all but one of the candidates backed by the chapter prevailed – indicate that the chapter “has indeed become the left wing of the possible”, he said.  

“It has proven again that it’s serious, it’s capable, it runs a great ground game, it’s attracting young and talented candidates and organizers,” added Isserman. “It’s really a model for a future American left.” 

Governing – as opposed to finding themselves always in the opposition, where the left has historically remained – will also be a good experience for democratic socialists, he suggested, pointing to Mamdani’s early wins and ability to build support for his policies as a roadmap. 

“One thing about actually governing is that it’s very different than simply being an echo chamber with your 20 closest comrades and trying to please them,” said Isserman. “It’s going to be a maturing experience for a generation of young socialists.”…
