In a press conference this week on New York City’s $12 billion budget gap, Mayor Zohran Mamdani zeroed in on the previous administration’s artificial intelligence chatbot as one of “a number of different things we’re going to pursue for savings.”

    Still, tankies are simps for authoritarians.

    And what are Western socialists doing to discourage or stop this authoritarianism that works, or is that reserved for states in the global South?

    Further they discourage electoralism which is a big form of organizing here in the west.

    I’ve never seen that. I’ve seen it mocked and knows from forty years’ personal experience voting here in the USA, the only thing it’s done is move us further right. But sure, tankies are the problem. Btw, remind me again why Dems only sued in swing states to keep Claudia De La Cruz off the ballot?

      Idk im not a dem. We could have our own party in many places, and it would be helpful if tankie types stop disparaging our attempts to organize and support us where they can instead.

      That said in places where we won’t have a party we should strategically vote as left as possible in primaries not just final elections.

      So yeah, tankies are part of the problem.

        Well whatever you do, don’t dive deep into Operations Gladio and Condor.
