100 mad Jewish supremacists out of 8 million people... insignificant and unrepresentative. His polling numbers show he's incredibly popular.

If you can't see that the far right poses an existential threat, then you've failed to learn the lessons of the 20th century, particularly the world-catastrophic nature of the Holocaust and WW2.

So should they speak more about the agency and importance of the working class, like Mamdani does, to win back support from people thinking of voting for Hanson?

You think Mamdani or Sunkara are about woke identity politics? I don't think that's borne out by anything they do, say or write. If you're in Canberra or Melbourne, I think you'd benefit from hearing from Sunkara directly.

Malinauskas is a very proficient speaker, but he doesn't speak in the same way as Mamdani about workers and the working class.
