Zohran Mamdani Soars to Victory - But What Would Malcolm X Say?

On the evening of November 4, Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani scored a stunning victory in New York City's mayoral election.

Mamdani will be the first Muslim, pro-Palestine and Democratic Socialist to have won the mayoralty of a major American City.

At the same time, however, Mandani ran as the candidate of the Democratic Party, and the Democrats have a long record of betraying their base in deference to the billionaire class.

Shortly before he was assassinated in 1965, Black Nationalist Malcolm X delivered his famous 'Ballot or the Bullet' speech in which he derided the idea that a Democratic candidate could be counted upon to defend the poor and the oppressed.

Will Mamdani prove to be an exception to the Democratic rule?

In this episode of Reason2Resist, Dimitri Lascaris takes a closer look at the challenges that lie ahead for Mamdani. He also examines the larger political significance of Mamdani's victory.
