Mayor Mamdani’s victory in New York, the radical positions of his illustrator wife and the growth of “Islamic socialism” between the USA and Europe are redefining progressive politics, between ambiguities about anti-Semitism and new identity balances.
A stylized Palestinian flag with the title “End of genocide”. A flotilla boat with two enormous eyes drawn on the hull as if to say: we’ll keep an eye on you. Empty pots with the words “It’s Deliberate Starvation.” They are some of the works of the most fashionable illustrator in Manhattan, not exactly equidistant regarding the single theme; He is of Syrian origin, 28 years old and radical beliefs on the fate of Israel. But, above all, Rama Duwaij is the woman to whom the new mayor of New York comes home every night. “Mamdani sent me, I’m his wife.” He condemns anti-Semitism after having conquered in the name of Muhammad the world metropolis with the largest Jewish community outside Israel. She chants “Globalize intifada” in Pro Pal marches. It’s not just a family, it’s a political laboratory. It shows how Muslim socialism takes power and becomes a political factor in the bored, identity-crisis and guilt-ridden West.
The three characteristics of the new political formula
To become successful the formula requires three characteristics.
- It must re-propose old cornerstones of twentieth-century demagogic egalitarianism: free schools, transport and mealscontempt for the rich, the big embrace of migrants of all kinds.
- It must be represented by young people from the upper class who recall progressive globalism from happy hours (Mamdani is the son of director Mira Nair, practically a Carlo Calenda who made it) and who show interest in defending the new low-income generations.
- It must hide it under a veneer of secularism religious matrix. It is not for nothing that Lady Mamdani shows herself in a miniskirt, short shorts, cheeky hair and Instagram-worthy poses with swollen lips, with an explicit message: forget the burqas, no extremism, we are part of the system. The grand illusion is working.
The Jewish vote and the “Mamdani Monitor”
As revealed by a CNN exit poll, confirmed by the Associated Press, even the 33 percent of New York’s Jews (66 percent of young people) voted for Mamdani. That is to say for the one who defined the bombing of Gaza as genocide and never distanced himself from the BDS platform, i.e. “boycott, defunding, sanctions” against the State of Israel.
All this does not worry Wall Street billionaires, also because the number one financier of the “Muslim-Dem” is still George Sorosbut it takes away the sleep of the Anti defamation league, which has created a “Mamdani Monitor” to monitor its policies and appointments.
President Jonathan Greenblatt thundered: “We expect the mayor of the city with the largest Jewish population in the world to stand against anti-Semitism in all its forms.”
The Safran Foer case and the perceived ambiguities
The sense of distrust lies entirely in the testimony of the writer Jonathan Safran Foer, author of the masterpiece on the Holocaust Everything is illuminatedwho revealed: “I went to the polling station to vote for Mamdani but I couldn’t make it, I left the ballot blank.”
Too many ambiguitytoo many risks that behind the sun of the future there is Mecca, the billions of sheikhs, the imams.
Islamic socialism: roots and development
Islamic socialism is nothing new. This was theorized in the green book by Muammar Gaddafi in Libya, Al Fatah in Palestine, Saddam Hussein in Iraq, Bashar Al Assad in Syria, Ben Ali in Tunisia. All autocrats, to be kind.
Islamic socialism is not just a New York suggestion but takes hold in the Democratic Partycovers the far left, Obama likes it and merges with social radicalism.
From the Midwest to France: the phenomenon is spreading
An example is Minneapolis, where a week ago the Somali and Muslim senator Omar Fateh came close to unseating mayor Jacob Frey with the support of the left.
Since every American trend ends in Europe, it is important to frame a phenomenon that advances with a subtle system that goes beyond Michel Houellebecq.
The European model and the shadow of the caliphate
In the book Submission the French writer theorized an Islamic party ready to take over Family and Education. Now it’s really happening: Islamic politicians take over the traditional parties.
Not yet in Italy, but in Germany yes, where Muslim candidates under the SPD, Linke and Greens create friction over constitutional values. The Muslim Interaktiv association in Hamburg was banned: under it it theorized a German caliphate.
Your Party: Britain’s Islamic-Communist laboratory
In Great Britain the fusion between Corbyn and the young Zarah Sultana. He is born YourPartyan Islamic-communist subject full of contradictions: from Marx to Banksy, from LGBTQ+ themes to threatened splits.
The Polanski case and the short circuit of the Greens
Zack Polanski, leader of the Greens, appointed as deputy Mothin Aliauthor of extremist slogans such as «Allahu Akhbar» after 7 October. Criticize him? You are an Islamophobe. New rule of the liberal planet.
The final paradox
Poor Bin Laden: to try to destroy the West, instead of knocking down the Twin Towers, he could have supported the right candidates of world progressivism. Today it would be a father of the Socialist International.
