Following the recent Democratic primary where Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani won it has lead me to asking a major question, should we endorse Democratic Socialists?

First I want to make this absolutely clear, I do not support electoralism and quite frankly I dont think its possible to reform capitalism out of existence.

The goal of supporting of Democratic Socialists is to promote those who would weaken capitalism but more importantly they wake people up to the class war. I hope that with Democratic Socialists gaining popularity it will create the material conditions that promote revolutionary thought.

However I fully understand if many people will strongly disagree as promoting any candidate gives legitimacy to a system of tyranny (to a certain degree). Thats why im asking all of you, I will be reading every comment here and carefully considering all of them.

i didn't have a strong opinion on the matter. just sharing my thoughts re: promoter463's suggestion.

do we take the ideological route of dismissing him for reformist that he is

no, probably not. i think he's already doing good work; he's becoming walking agitprop. he ruptured the liberal obsession with (manufactured) polling data. he's now even an official enemy of the state, so he's got that going for him.

i don't know what it means exactly to 'endorse' him (letalone in the context of this comm). share memes and articles about him? raise awareness? sure, why not? let's watch what he does.
