The Zo-mentum is real.

Socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s far-left slate of Big Apple congressional hopefuls prevailed in Tuesday’s Democratic primary — with firebrand Darializa Avila Chevalier projected to pull off an AOC-style upset.

Former city Comptroller Brad Lander and state Assemblywoman Claire Valdez were quickly projected by the Associated Press and NY1 to win over their establishment Democrat opponents.

Avila Chevalier held a razor-thin 49.3% to 46% lead over Rep. Adriano Espaillat with 86% of votes counted late Tuesday, leading the five-term incumbent to concede.

The projected win by Avila Chevalier and the congressional race victories — coupled with a likely clean sweep of Democratic Socialists of America candidates in state races — signaled Mamdani could expand his socialist wave beyond New York City, to Washington, DC.

The Red-Green Alliance
How leftist progressives end up aligned with Islamists

“Hamas and Hezbollah are social movements that are progressive, that are part of the left, that are part of the global left.”
— Berkeley professor and feminist theorist Judith Butler

One of the more perplexing political questions of our day is how leftist progressives end up aligned with Islamists. When Zohran Mamdani ran for office in New York City, he did so as a Muslim promoting the protection of transgender people, an idea that is completely out of step with his religious views. Yet Mamdani isn’t alone in this posture.

In recent years, an unexpected partnership has emerged between secular progressives or socialists and certain Islamist movements. It’s often called the Red-Green Alliance—“red” for the revolutionary left and “green” for political Islam.

This raises a fundamental question: how do left-wing activists reconcile their ideological commitments with support for extreme Islamic regimes and movements?

This dynamic is not entirely new.  ...

“Red” represents revolutionary leftist or Marxist movements motivated by anti-capitalism and anti-imperialism. “Green” represents Islamist movements motivated by religious opposition to Western secular modernity.

Despite radically different visions for society, both factions shared a common enemy: the Western-aligned liberal state.  ...

The Red-Green Alliance describes a convergence between two ideologies that, at least on paper, should be irreconcilable.

The progressive left often champions secularism, sexual liberation, feminism, and LGBTQ identity politics. Islamist movements, by contrast, frequently uphold religious authority, traditional gender roles, and strict moral codes rooted in theology. Their visions for society appear fundamentally incompatible.

Yet cooperation repeatedly emerges because both share a common critique. Western civilization, capitalism, nationalism, and liberal democratic traditions are viewed as systems of domination tied to colonialism, imperialism, and historical injustice.

Shared opposition can create political alignment even where philosophical agreement does not exist. ...
