Finkelstein argues that Mamdani’s greatest obstacles are NYPD police power and the billionaire class—two forces that have historically crushed progressive movements in New York. He says Mamdani has already shown worrying signs of weakness on the police question, and that any hesitation will be fatal for his agenda.Drawing a powerful parallel to Salvador Allende in Chile, Finkelstein explains why failing to confront the military was the key weakness of Allende’s government—and how a similar dynamic now exists in New York. In Mamdani’s case, he warns, the NYPD can veto the Palestinian solidarity movement, labor struggles, and any left agenda if they are not challenged directly.Finkelstein’s message is blunt: if Mamdani blinks now, the NYPD and billionaire class will destroy his movement before it begins.
