Damn NYC is going to be a paradise!
Man, I am hearing all good things outta NY right now. Mamdani is knocking the shit out! Came in absolutely swinging!
He’s not even in office yet and already knocking it out of the park and halfway across the city.
I just hope that trajectory continues.
An American saying no to money??
What is the world coming to.
Kid Rock’s star has sunk so far below the horizon that this move really only hurts him.
I mean I guess it’s less money for meth, so maybe it actually helps him.
I fully support it.
He prefers to sing for Nazis and pedophiles.
“sing”
Another American who doesn’t understand what communism is.
They don’t have to understand. Others do their thinking for them.
Things just get better and better for NY.
Kid Rock makes music for people who don’t pay their child support
Kid Rock makes music for people who have tattoos of their kids but not custody of them
Kid Rock makes music for people who tattoo their kids
Kid Rock makes music for people that beat their kids
Kid Rock makes music for people that rock kids.
Holy fuck.
Kid rock makes music for people that make hotdog soup
from tattoo’d hotdogs.
Acoustics designed to resonate perfectly in a trailer.
Has Kid Rock even made music since 1998? That was the last time I heard new Kid Rock music.
In unrelated news, the communist party sees a boost in membership.
Average American can’t tell the difference between Communism and Democratic Socialism, Exhibit A: ⬆️
Americans elected a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist that used a bunch of redneck cousin fuckers to violently attempt an insurrection when he lost an election.
Average Americans aren’t known for being intelligent.
Not saying you’re wrong, but Kid Rock is far from “average”.
Kid Rock doesn’t know what a communist is, let alone a democratic socialist, but I’m pretty sure New Yorkers know what a MAGA shit-eater is and are 💯% okay with him not coming to NYC for an entire year.
New York City should put on an amazing Woodstock style show for that night instead.
I’m sure they could get plenty of bands to come out just to prove a point.
He sings?
he mostly disappoints his rich, affluent parents by poorly cosplaying as blue collar.
I wouldn’t be that generous.
If there’s right wing and/or established American indoctrination to parrot, he sings like a little bird.
A persons inability to differentiate between slightly progressive policies and communism, is a gigantic blood red flag indicating that they are a trash person and not worth talking to.
The most fair but unfavourable (according to them) interpretation of his policies would be socialist, to be a communist he would have to have been a dictator who seized power with force rather than democratically elected. But honestly it’s debatable about whether or not the policies he is proposing go far enough to really be in the realm of socialist. It’s basically just left wing progressive.
If it weren’t for the fact that he was American no one would be batting an eye. Come to Europe and say those things and everyone would be “well yeah, obviously”.
to be a communist he would have to have been a dictator who seized power with force rather than democratically elected.
Communism and dictatorship have nothing to do with each other.
Communism is revolutionary, Socialism can be reformative.
In the context of the United States, Democratic Socialism is perfectly compatible with the constitution and the ideals of freedom and democracy; Communism, on the other hand, requires overthrowing the existing institutions which make it incompatible.
Most historical “Communist” movements are vanguardist, and vanguardism doesn’t end well, they end up being authoritarian.
The one thing that communism and dictatorship have in common is that the one pretty much requires a revolution and the other often appears after a revolution.
They have similar origin stories.
The problem with revolutions is that revolutions need a strong man to rally around who can quickly make decisions without compromise and who is in close to complete power. A democratic revolution would not happen, since it’s not fast and decisive enough. But when the revolution is done and that same strongman is still in power, and he gets to decide how the new government is run, only very few of them are capable of handing the power over to a democratic government. And if you run a government like a revolution we tend to call that dictatorship.
It’s just one of life’s funny little coincidences…
Except that every communist country is and was a dictatorship.
If Mamdani is a communist, he’s clearly the least ambitious communist that I’ve ever heard of. What he’s asking for is just basic services of a city to work and be affordable.
