Paul Vallas: What Zohran Mamdani’s Victory Means for Chicago – Chicago Contrarian

"While progressive, immigrant-led coalitions are reshaping urban politics, there are unique demographic and institutional realities of each city. If there’s a critical lesson to be learned it is to recognize that political power — and its limits — are ultimately determined by results. Chicagoans are showing signs of Johnson fatigue, frustrated by (the mayor's) divisiveness, excuse making and the general lack of results in addressing the city’s most critical issues."

“If one understands that socialism is not a share-the-wealth program, but is in reality a method to consolidate and control the wealth, then the seeming paradox of rich men promoting socialism becomes no paradox at all. Instead, it become logical, even the perfect tool of power-seeking megalomaniacs,” explained the late Gary Allen.
“Communism or more accurately, socialism, is not a movement of the downtrodden masses, but of the economic elite.”
