The Democratic Socialists of America has lots of crazy ideas. From their platform:
“ FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT
Allow workers to freely migrate between countries to seek employment without restrictive immigration controls. ” — https://platform.dsausa.org/foreign-policy/
“ NO MORE ECONOMIC WARFARE
End economic sanctions that impact the sovereignty of countries whose governments act independently of the United States, such as … Iran.” — https://platform.dsausa.org/foreign-policy/
Etc.
I don’t really care how you’d categorize the organization, simply looking at their policies is enough information to know they’re dangerous.
I’ve been downvoted by people tired of hearing the same comments (of a centre left style). Ok, but it sure seems like people love themselves some Fox News. Business doesn’t mean crushing workers, particularly in the areas of interest to HN. Without good, motivated workers, these startups and their bigger cousins won’t fly. And with less open, quiet environments the pool of candidates will be smaller.
Like all populists, Mandani only won because the current younger generation are struggling and feel like the only way to get by is by taking it from corporations and people they consider wealthy.
It really does remind me of the Nazi rise to power. The German economy was poor and the youth blamed the wealthy 1% for all of their problems (no jobs, preferential treatment), which happened to be the Jewish population.
I remember another story about 30-something outsider coming to large city with a radical message that upper-class Jews should stop accumulating wealth because it makes lower classes dispossessed.

Propaganda much? Not agreeing with their ideas is perfectly valid, surely you can do so without resorting to hyperbole.

The rhetoric is almost the same.

So that could go both ways.
