In an age of darkness, Mamdani's campaign offers hope.
The socialist left has now triumphed in New York. In New York!!!
Let's hope that's the beginning of the socialist left triumphing everywhere - and driving back the forces of fascism.

But we saw how Bernie Sanders' 2016 campaign re-energised the US left.
Mamdani's campaign will have an even bigger impact. So many leftist politicians and campaigns are going to emerge all over the US because of his triumph.

Donald Trump and the Democratic establishment want Mamdani to fail, and will do all they can to achieve their goal.
How the huge numbers inspired by Mamdani's campaign are mobilised will matter a lot in the coming fight.

In an age of Islamophobia - which is mainstream, acceptable, respectable, normalised - for a Muslim candidate to triumph in New York matters.
That's an unapologetically socialist Muslim opposed to racism and bigotry in all its forms triumphed matters even more.

In his victory speech, Mamdani quoted Eugene Debs, the US socialist pioneer, because he firmly places himself in that historic tradition of the left.
He addressed Jewish people, Muslims, trans people - because the left is the antidote to a right embracing racism and hate.

That Mamdani owes his victory to a broken economic system is undeniable.
But fury at Israel's genocide played a key role in him securing the Democratic nomination.
The dramatic political consequences of the genocide have only just begun to be felt.

You're seeing, in part, the political consequences of the Iraq war, the financial crash, and Israel's genocide of the Palestinians.
All helped forge new politicised generations.
And the 2016 Bernie Sanders campaign reforged the US left - which made Mamdani possible.

It's in the interests of the far right to terrify the population.
They think panic will breed hatred, and that will allow them to ethnically cleanse the country - and build an authoritarian state.
But it's based on lies.
Lies and hatred - the eternal basis of the far right.
