The Socialist Movement Is Bringing Democracy Back
Largely ignored in coverage of the democratic socialist movement that helped produce Zohran Mamdani is this basic fact: at a time of rising authoritarianism, socialists have succeeded by old-fashioned grassroots, democratic organizing.

El movimiento socialista está recuperando la democracia
Traducción Alejandro Garvie Un hecho fundamental que se ha ignorado en gran medida en la cobertura del movimiento socialista democrático que ayudó a producir a Zohran Mamdani, es el siguiente: en tiempos de creciente autoritarismo, los socialistas han triunfado mediante la organización democrática y de base a la antigua usanza. Como bien sabe cualquiera que haya echado un vistazo a las noticias, la democracia en Estados Unidos no está en su mejor momento.
