Your words gave me a savage flashback. The look of utter horror on the faces of 4 middle aged Blairite suits as perhaps 100 eager newbies (and me) arrived at their monthly local Labour Party meeting a month after Corbyn won the leadership in 2015. Their hatred for us was palpable.

We'll also see a doubling down in the billionaire-captured media on the fiction that people hate the socialist policies that won the day for Mamdani

Find who your local Zohran Mamdani is - and throw your support, energy and passion behind him or her.

The billionaires and their pet politicos and media want you to believe that the rise of the far right is inevitable.

But as Mamdani said today:

'The future is in our hands'

But Zohran Mamdani has broken their spell by becoming New York's next Mayor on an out-and-out socialist platform.

And in the UK @zackpolanski.bsky.social is doing the same trick - and becoming more and more popular by the day.

The only reason YOU feel like the only leftie in town is because the billionaires own the mainstream media.

And they use their global megaphones to convince millions like you that these wildly popular ideas are fringe loony tunes.

People in the UK are a right bunch of lefties too:

74% want public ownership of rail, water & energy
66% back higher taxes on the wealthy
68% support rent caps
62% want a £15 minimum wage

The stuff that Trump and his far right flunkies shriek is communism is overwhelmingly popular in the US:

70% want Medicare for All
72% support raising taxes on billionaires
67% want tuition-free college
61% back the Green New Deal

Yes, that's right.

Turns out that millions will jump at the opportunity to vote for taxing the rich, affordable homes, healthcare and education and clean energy.
