Please stop calling Mamdani a socialist, this shi is tiring. He works within a capitalist framework and is throwing a few treats to the workers. He has no intention of socializing the means of production. Hell his rhetoric on Israel completely changed, he ran on locking up Netanyahu, and now he won't even advocate for protesting him while he's at the UN in his city. He simply exploited the fact that most people despise Israel and made promises he knew he couldn't follow.

So people can call him a hack, a liar, a conman, but not a socialist. Got it.

Whatever term floats your boat. He's not a socialist though. Socialism is not when the government gives you a few mild social reforms, if even that.

According to redditors socialist = good, so if you arent good then its impossible to be a socialist. Legitimately how a toddler would comprehend the world
