From Mamdani to Corbyn: Democratic Socialism as a placeholder
As of writing it is the 5th of November 2025 and after many months of campaigning, Zohran Kwame Mamdani has won the New York City Mayoral election, meaning that he and his "Democratic Socialist" agenda will be entering office on the 1st of January 2026. But what actually is Democratic Socialism in this context and how does Jeremy Corbyn also tie into this for Brits across the pond? Well to put it simply, Democratic Socialism is a relatively simple philosophy, but what's being done with the term "Democratic Socialism" is less of an ideology as Mamdani or Corbyn would put it and more of a placeholder.

Zohran Mamdani: Future New York Mayor?
Trump sat talking to 60 Minutes, a news outlet he had sued a while ago. As Trump spoke, his popularity was/is on the wane. With government shutdowns, hundreds of thousands of federal workers are unpaid, and food benefits for millions of people are running out. Trump looks set to go to war with Venezuela and possibly launch military action in Nigeria. This from a president who said he was the anti-war president. So this may also be affecting his poll ratings. On top of this, there is the Democratic New York Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani. Mamdani is an unashamed socialist. Many Democrats have distanced themselves from him, viewing him as too extreme. His radical left views and his pro-Palestine stance have made him controversial, to say the least.

Sudan’s Bloodied Sands Expose a Massacre of Thousands
**Sudan’s Bloodied Sands Expose a Massacre of Thousands** In the dusty sun-baked landscape of El Fasher, in Sudan’s Darfur region, the ground has become a silent witness to horrors most refuse to see. Patches of reddish soil stretch across the city’s outskirts — the result, experts say, of mass bloodshed. ([telegraph.co.uk][1]) After the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) seized control on October 26, 2025, the city’s sand shifted from pale gold to shocking red in images taken from satellites. Bodies clustered in open terrain, unexplained pools of crimson stained the ground, and analysts found the marks of executions, clearance operations, and terror. ([Peoples Dispatch][2])
