On this edition of Parallax Views, host J.G. Michael speaks with journalist and activist Hadas Thier, author of A People’s Guide to Capitalism: An Introduction to Marxist Economics, about her recent Nation magazine article, “How DSA Built Zohran Mamdani’s Electoral Machine.”

In this in-depth conversation, Thier breaks down how the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) powered Zohran Mamdani’s groundbreaking mayoral campaign in New York City, transforming it into a model for grassroots political organizing. She explains how DSA’s field-first strategy, volunteer-driven infrastructure, and commitment to democratic socialist politics built one of the most effective electoral machines in the country—mobilizing over 50,000 volunteers, knocking on millions of doors, and reshaping NYC’s political landscape.

J.G. and Hadas also explore what Mamdani’s victory means for the future of the left, working-class politics, and progressive movements across the United States. Could DSA’s organizing model become a roadmap for challenging the Democratic establishment nationwide?

Tune in for a timely discussion on DSA, Zohran Mamdani, democratic socialism, and the new era of grassroots political power in America.
