I'm just as much at a loss about which place both ended up you're talking about.

@Klaus Hergersheimer in front of reasonable people whose brains aren't mush, you can't actually invoke the horrors of the sovjets in ... whatever it is you're doing.
i'm sure it works in whatever other social theatres you acquaint. i know the kind of person who buys this nonsense. but i think the misuse isn't a show of your own confusion; rather, it's very obvious you're just mad.
rent control isn't gulag. if that's not what you're saying it is, you can't cry about lenin.

So we're two for two on people in this thread who can't differentiate between Welfare Capitalism and Stalinism.

Tankies are funny. Start thinking they're 14 or 55 year old incels.

While I’ve only scratched the surface of what entails. There is somewhat of a difference between Marxist-Leninism (which I actively oppose) and Democratic Socialism. Speaking anadodacally, The word Socialism has baggage that’s been attached to it since the First Red Scare a century ago as a synonym for “authoritarian communism” (e.g. Marxist-Leninism and Maoism).

ML types dont like Socual democrat types lol.
Fascism they're the opposition. Social democrat types are the enemy.
The smarter ones dont glaze USSR,China. Stalin, Mao to much. They're starting to figure out the problems inherent in what Marx laid out.
Marx had some fairly good insights on the problems with capitalism. His solutions dont seem to work though.

No argument there, tankies like MLs don't really like SocDems. Degrading them as "social fascists".
I've yet to see tankies start throwing around "Mamdani killed Luxemburg" memes the same way they did with Bernie Sanders.
And all this time I thought it were the muslim extremists that hated america.
It's not going to be pretty.
It's the worst blend of awful.

Here, help yourself.
On a more serious note, most of his policies boil down to the armchair handout socialism. Which doesn't really work. It gives the wrong incentives. Best example is his intended 4% corporate tax hike. Sounds good...but in practice, every time someone tried this, it resulted in even less tax revenue than before, because a lot of modern business is quite mobile when it comes to where it's going to pay taxes. So the net result is corporate flight.
I'm not saying that taxing the rich more is a bad thing, but because of the mobility of the wealth in modern world, it needs to be done internationally. At very least, you'd need US, EU, China, India and the Arab oil states to agree on it and use their economic leverage to force the rest of the world into the scheme. All a NY mayor can do is to drive the corporations away.
Enjoy the freedom of speech while you can.
It'll soon disappear under people like Mamdani.
If you will, care to explain why you would call me a 'bigot'?
bigot /bĭg′ət/
noun
- One who is strongly partial to one's own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ.
- A hypocrite; esp., a superstitious hypocrite.

Reference required. I have had a look, these economists sure like obfuscating their data but I think this is saying that increasing corporate tax rate increases tax revenue.
Table 9 Fixed-effects regressions with aggregate base measures
Dependent variable: corporate tax revenue/GDP
Corporate tax rate 0.206***
Table 10 Fixed-effects regressions with individual base measures
Dependent variable: corporate tax revenue/GDP
Corporate tax rate 0.180**
Once we account for the simultaneity of changes to corporate tax rates or corporate tax bases by including our 12 new tax base measures in the estimating equation, the estimated tax effects are even more attenuated and the implied revenue-maximizing corporate tax rates generally are more precisely estimated
Despite their limitations, our extensive margin measures of changes to the corporate tax base provide an informative step toward a better understanding of the interaction between corporate tax rate and tax base changes, and their implications for understanding the determinants of corporate tax revenues
