Sewer socialism is flowing through America's cities
A modern resurgence of "sewer socialism" is evident in American cities, championed by politicians like Zohran Mamdani in New York and Katie Wilson in Seattle. This political approach emphasizes expanding public services such as affordable housing, childcare, and public transportation, drawing parallels to the New Deal era and the original movement in Milwaukee during the early 1900s. Younger politicians are connecting with voters on affordability issues, contrasting with established figures, and polls indicate a growing positive or neutral view of socialism among college students.
