Ali Velshi: Trump Built an Autocratic Socialist State While Attacking Mamdani

Fox hyped a capitalism-vs-socialism battle, but Velshi shows Trump’s autocratic socialism dwarfs anything Mamdani proposes.

I’ve often noted my belief that out of all societal systems industrialized countries have tested so far, #Nordic #SocialDemocracy is, if not the best, then at least the least bad. Despite all its very real flaws and shortcomings. Here’s one BIG reason: Social #Democracy makes us free.

#AlboPM is a confirmed political ‘tragic’, so much so that political outcomes have become his priorities which over the years have overwritten his laudable social ideals. IOW he has succumbed to the political machinery (not to say chicanery) his mother fought against IMO.

A lazy Bill Maher using capitalist talking points slamming Democratic Socialism was embarrassing.

Bill Maher is using his platform to promote billionaires’ Democratic Socialism fearing message because of Zohran Mamdani’s effective deconstruction of a failed economic system in digestible form.

The ‘Sewer #Socialism’ of #ZohranMamdani

Beyond the specifics, history teaches that #progressive mayors prosper when they understand why voters put them in office. Sheri Berman, a Barnard College political scientist and a widely respected scholar of #SocialDemocracy, offers a brisk two-part formula. “Successful left-wing mayors,” she told me, “focused on (a.) problems in their cities, and (b.) problems where they had the power to do something.”

For history buffs, Mr. #Mamdani has done the service of rekindling an interest in a largely forgotten American tradition, the “sewer socialists” who ran a significant list of cities in the last century. The most durable among them was Daniel Hoan, the #socialist mayor of Milwaukee from 1916 to 1940.

"Social democracy, then, is not a step beyond capitalism but a softer version of it. The illusion works only for those who benefit from it. The miners in Congo and the garment workers in Bangladesh who feed Western industries see through it clearly."

#Capitalism #SocialDemocracy #Abolish

A screenshot of a twitter post by @nyeusi_waasi, with text saying,
"Social democracy cannot serve as a true alternative to capitalism. It appears attractive on the surface but is built upon deep contradictions that eventually collapse under their own weight.
At its core, social democracy seeks a balance between capitalist profit motives and socialist calls for fair wages, quality public services, and ecological protection. Yet these progressive demands inherently threaten capital itself because they raise production costs, empower workers, and weaken the endless drive for accumulation that capitalism depends on.
There are two ways to address this contradiction. One is to reject the logic of accumulation altogether and move toward a post-capitalist system organized democratically around human needs and ecological balance. Social democracy, however, remains loyal to capitalism. It manages the contradiction not by overcoming it but by exporting its costs. Through imperialism, social democratic states extract cheap labour and natural resources from the global South, allowing them to sustain prosperity, high wages, and welfare systems at home while keeping capital accumulation intact.
Even those states often praised as moral examples, such as the Scandinavian countries, rely on vast transfers of value from the global South through unequal exchange. Their social stability is built on the hidden exploitation of others."
