definition
Alexander says Mamdani should not be labeled a communist, arguing that Marxist-Leninist communism is incompatible with Islam and that the ideological label is being used sloppily.
diagnosis
Alexander says people should use terms like communist and Marxist correctly, and that Mamdani is better understood as a socialist of an extremely threadbare kind and clearly a leftist.
