The torch of American progressive history is being passed to a new generation: Corey Robin on Mamdani’s victory

The torch of American progressive history is being passed to a new generation: Corey Robin on Mamdani’s victory

Published by Parlour News

Zohran Mamdani’s election this week as New York City’s Mayor is a story that has travelled far beyond the city’s five boroughs. Noted political theorist Corey Robin — Distinguished Professor of Political Science at Brooklyn College and the City University of New York (CUNY) Graduate Center — unpacks what Mamdani’s victory means for the Democratic Party establishment, U.S. politics in the Trump era, and progressive movements beyond America. What is the most striking aspect of Mamdani’s victory? The most significant aspect is that it has been built for over a decade, going back to the early 2010s, with the rise of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), which had been a moribund organisation, but got a new lease of life after Occupy [Wall Street] and the [2008] financial crisis. There has been a tremendous amount of grassroots organising, and Mamdani comes out of that group — a small group that by poll day, had over 1,00,000 volunteers canvassing door-to-door for him. So, it is a real triumph of a kind of democratic action that we have …

Published by Parlour News

Marvel Studios’ upcoming movie, Fantastic Four: First Steps, is officially bringing the classic superhero team back in a whole new way. The film takes place in an alternate 1960s universe and not on Earth-616. Stepping away from the previous renditions of the Fantastic Four characters, director Matt Shakman is delving into bold reworkings of the storylines, adding complexity to the superheroes played by Joseph Quinn and Vanessa Kirby. Chris Evans turned the ‘flame on’ as the Human Torch or Johnny Storm in Fantastic Four (2005), where he portrayed a womanizing loudmouth quirky superhero, who does get the job done but not without messing up first, and is incredibly casual about it. Evans reprised his role for a brief cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine. Matt Shakman told Entertainment Weekly, “I was really interested in imagining the Fantastic Four being astronauts. Instead of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin going to the moon, what if it was Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben who were really the first to go into outer space, the first to push those boundaries?” Meanwhile, …
