The left starts at anti-capitalism. Anything other than that is right wing
Don't Sanders, Mamdani, and AOC call for socialist reforms in the US?
Reformism is not anti-capitalism. Reforms are just nicer capitalism. There will still be capitalism and imperialism but people just get a bigger slice of the imperialist pie until the ruling class decides to take the slice away.
In a state where there are neofascists like Trump, Mamdani is the left, face it. If you deny this, you're completely ignoring political pragmatism and confusing the historical left with their actual political left.
