If you are a reasonable thinking person, you would say, you know, these people are just in it for themselves.

So what the work of the party is, is to demonstrate your usefulness to the community before you start asking for their votes.

They do things like run health clinics,

And that's a model which you could pursue.

Zoran Mamdani is very different because he's a product of the Democratic Socialists of America, which is very much mass membership.

It does have, you know, a bit more factionalism, whereas the Belgian Workers' Party is like stamp out the factions.

There will be one faction.

The DSA is, you know, there's a bit more internal fighting.

But it's also got more of a strategy of like, hey, everyone get in the car.

Yeah, like every new afterwards is like, I told you to read Lennon and you still haven't done it.

But like some of the critiques are good.
