Seattle’s New Mayor on Her ‘Sewer Socialist Mentality’ | Portside

It is always disturbing when MAGA politicians go off halfcocked about socialism.
Here are some of the “radical left” socialist programs that Warner must be complaining about:
Medicare
Medicaid
The Affordable Care Act
Social Security
SNAP (food stamps)
Meals on Wheels and Office of Aging services
Every single one of these programs was once characterized by right-wing politicians as a
“socialist program.”

This MAGA politician's disturbing rant shows a party hellbent on hurting its own
“It is hard to watch other states and cities across our nation leap toward socialism… Let’s keep our state moving forward by always rejecting the falsehoods sold by the radical left.” — Secretary of State Kris Warner, Facebook post, November 5, 2025.

Portugal elects Socialist Party’s Seguro as president in landslide | #AlJazeera

Portugal has made a clear choice for a center-left president instead of a far-right one, probably by around 70-30.

The Crisis of the Portuguese Left
The Portuguese Socialist Party once seemed to be a model for Europe’s center left, gaining support while its sister parties were in decline. But this year’s election was a crushing defeat that saw the Socialists fall behind the far-right group Chega.

"Now is not the time for self-indulgent rehearsals of criticisms of the Venezuelan government’s alleged failings, as if attempting to steer a socialist course while facing relentless economic warfare from the most powerful country on Earth were ever likely to be straightforward."

The contradictions of capitalism are coming to a maximum. People are yet again flocking to both the reactionary, fascist forces built on capitalism's corpse, and the sustainable socialist solution.
It's our job to win this time.

Zohran Mamdani's rent-stabilized Astoria apartment renting for 35% more than socialist lawmaker paid: 'hypocrisy' (New York Post)

Anarcho-syndicalist trade unions are reconceived not just as bargaining bodies but as the basic cells of a future socialist society, simultaneously fighting capitalism now and learning to administer production democratically.

Mr. Mamdani, a democratic socialist who ran on an #affordability agenda,
pledged during the campaign to freeze rent on the city’s nearly one million rent-stabilized apartments.

Mamdani’s First Orders Focus on Housing and Undoing Adams’s Decisions
Mayor Zohran Mamdani signed a flurry of executive orders on his first day as mayor of New York City. They were aimed at protecting tenants and revoking some of ex-Mayor Eric Adams’s past orders.

It's not from the Socialist Workers' Union, the Irish Anarchists' Association, or the Association of Paranoid Android Users.
It's from the Irish Times. Ireland's small-c conservative newspaper of record.

If you follow me and identify as a Marxist-Leninist, it’s worth understanding that we stand on very different sides of the socialist tradition. It’s time to read and learn, my friend. Marxist-Leninists have a long history of opposing anarchists, especially anarcho-syndicalists.

I subscribed to Jacobin when they had some deal, but I don't actually read it. Classic champagne socialist behavior. Leftists will be like, "Win an election? That pales in comparison to my idea, subscribing to Jacobin" and then not read Jacobin

It's Interesting today that the popularization of @…'s concept of "enshittification" is leading us to really think hard about how various methods of vendor lock-in enable corporations to abuse users. We see how first there's lock-in then quickly abuse follows, and recognize that the only way out of this trap is to build systems where users can leave at will.
But it's interesting that in this time of rising fascism no one is making the connection to fascism, as both increased lock in and enshittification of government. And no one is making the connection between the need to make systems optional to avoid enshittification, and libertarian socialist arguments against the systemic lock-in (and following abuse) of capitalism and the state.

Trump ramps up attacks against Zohran Mamdani
President Donald Trump has a new political foil: New York’s Democratic nominee for mayor, Zohran Mamdani. In recent days, the president has escalated his attacks against the 33-year-old self-described Democratic socialist, threatening to arrest Mamdani, to deport him and even take over the country’s largest city if he wins the general election in November. Mamdani’s stunning, surprise victory over former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has given Republicans a new target as they seek to paint t…

With the Washington DC mayoral field now wide open,
who will step into the race?
Recently, two names have been bandied about:
D.C. Council members Janeese Lewis George (D-Ward 4)
and Kenyan R. McDuffie (I-At Large).
Lewis George reportedly is on the cusp of launching a bid in the style of fellow democratic socialist and New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.

The D.C. mayoral race might include its own Mamdani-style candidacy

The overthrow and reported capture by invading US forces of Nicolas Maduro, Venezuela’s hardline socialist president, will send a shiver of fear and consternation around the world. The coup is illegal, unprovoked and regionally and globally destabilising. It upends international norms, ignores sovereign territorial rights, and potentially creates an anarchic situation inside Venezuela itself.
