Who is Really Behind the Socialism Movement?

The thing about the recent boom in popularity for socialism is it’s not even remotely a “workers’ revolution.”
The modern socialist coalition doesn’t look like Rosie the Riveter. It’s not a room full of black-faced coal workers.
It’s a grad-student with a NYT subscription and a framed poster of Zohran Mamdani.
They are college-educated, urban, and comfortably removed from the working-class base the movement ostensibly claims to represent.
Darializa Avila Chevalier who defeated a long term congressman in New York’s 13th Congressional District attended Columbia University for Middle Eastern studies – a euphemism for pro-Hamas activism – and is now a doctoral student at CUNY for sociology with a focus on immigration and criminal justice.
Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson was born to two nerd famous professors and literally grew up in academia. She attended Oxford before dropping out and eventually founding the “Transit Riders Union,” a 501c3 dedicated to “rider equity” on public transit. Born to a highly-educated chemical engineer, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu attended a top one percent high school, then Harvard, twice. She almost immediately went into government.
A son to wealthy parents, Graham Platner’s rape-tastic voyage started by attending a $75,000/yr prep school. NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani is literally a theater kid. He also has very wealthy parents.
So, do not be fooled. This is not a low income, lower class socialist movement. It IS a movement by entitled, wealthy persons.
