    cautiously optimistic to see how he handles the upcoming war of attrition and capital strike from the richest new yorkers. Fox news is also gonna go bonkers filming every homeless person in nyc.

      He already triangulated during the election and hired a bunch of ghouls. The election is a lower threshold than actually fighting capital using policy, e.g. the rentier class, including literal landlords, to decrease housing prices.

      I would just like hexbears to stop getting too excited for any perceived win without knowing what has to happen later, particularly when there is no party to which they are answerable. You should be happy for what it is, but being happy for what it is not will just lead to disappointment and burnout later on. The latter is the core political cycle of controlled “progressive” bourgeois electoralism, not by coincidence.

        Actual organizing is what is required, and agitprop is just one tool used by an organization. Joining a party, building the party, doing the core work of agitation, teaching, building relationships, inventing actions, escalations, security, etc etc.
