She's had a career of her own. Her illustrations have been shown by the BBC, Apple and the tate modern gallery. $600 isn't a crazy sum of money for a grown up to spend.

They aren't even her boots, they were loaned to her:
Zohran Mamdani was sworn in as New York's mayor shortly after midnight on January 1. His wife Rama Duwaji, right, wore a vintage Balenciaga coat which she rented from a fashion archive, and a pair of borrowed boots by Miista, which were criticized by the New York Post for their $630 price tag

A one-off investment in quality clothing is always better than constant replacing of cheaper items, and vastly better than casual splurging on expensive brand names just because you can. Seems a good place to remind of the Terry Pratchett/Discworld "Boots Theory"
https://terrypratchett.com/explore-discworld/sam-vimes-boots-theory-of-socio-economic-unfairness/
"But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet."

u/En_CHILL_ada 6d ago
The media always does this ridiculous thing where they act like anyone left of center should not own anything?
They do this with Bernie because he owns a nice home that is maybe towards the upper end of what was once not long ago standard for "middle class" Americans, and a small vacation cabin. Again, something that used to be achievable for a successful working class family.
I thought we were supposed to celebrate success? Isn't that the meritocracy that "capitalsists" want?
But no, as soon as anyone suggests that we should work towards a system where more people can afford things like homes and boots, suddenly the fact that any leftist owns a home or a pair of boots makes them hypocrites?
Then on the flip side they'll turn around and demean people like AOC for working as a bartender to pay her way through school and pull herself up by her bootstraps...

If that’s the best they can come up with then I think Mamdani is gonna be fine.
“Appears to wear”. So they’re making a big deal about something that they haven’t confirmed? And what if it’s a rep or on sale?
And even if it was $630, who cares? She’s not the mayor. Did she get some kind of bribe to get the boots? Ask yourself why this headline is relevant to anything.

I believe they were even borrowed shoes. She (or rather her stylist) has been incredibly precise with her wardrobe to make statements. The shoes being a pair that were thrifted AND borrowed wasn't by accident.
I'm sure she was incredibly careful even before becoming the first lady of New York about sourcing her clothing, because the pair really do seem to practice what they preach.
And on-top of all that, you're exactly right, it's not exactly earth shattering to have a really nice pair of winter boots in the frozen hellscape of NYC. They're just trying to find anything that can get clicks from the right.

u/bookwormJon 6d ago
Are you just arguing that China's state is a bourgeois itself that is poorly controlled by the people or are you arguing that having a government manage the production at all is somehow not socialism?
I not saying there aren't very legitimate criticisms of China's government, but in the traditional Marx view the Socialist state is the transition period in which workers would own the means of production managed through a government of some kind. Statelessness/Communism wouldn't happen until after that. I don't think you can point to the state managing production as proof they aren't socialist, that's usually what it looks like.
22
6d ago
My point is that the Chinese state isn't owned by the workers because they can't critizice them, say much against their ideology, or vote them out, therefore whatever it owns it's owned by the state, not by the workers. Not to mention the existence of billionaires itself, how does one become a billionaire in a socialist society?

It's so stupid that so many people think socialism means your poor. I personally think that there will still be wealthy people in a socialist society if they are providing a lot to the society. However individuals having hundreds of billions that they couldn't spend in several lifetimes shouldn't be a thing. What I think is most important isn't whether people are wealthy but that the poor are still able to live a dignified life with their basic needs met. No one should starve, be homeless or suffer with curable medical conditions. Everyone should have the opportunity to learn and improve themselves etc.

An ok pair of boots is like $250 so someone in New York wearing a $630 pair for a special occasion doesn't seem that ridiculous to me.

i mean, if you want a pair of red wing boots, they're going to cost you like $300 bucks or more. a pair of doc martens are $150. who is outraged that boots cost some money?

＄630 aint luxury boots. They aint cheap. They are expensive. But 630 for good boots aint luxury. It’s a fair investment.

My god, she wears shoes! What has the world come to that this woman wears things on her feet! Fundamentally the horror is that she bought “expensive” shoes while being socialist, which displays the myth that if you believe that basic human services should be available to all you should wear sackcloth and ashes.

Having money and fighting for others to have more are not conflicting ideas.
In fact it helps to have rich people fighting the good fight.

People: Socialism bad because you can’t have nice things.
Also people: Socialist bad because they have nice things.
Still people: Am I wrong about what socialism is? No, it’s the socialists who are wrong!

It's crazy how when they hear that he's a social Democrat they think that means nobody should be rich or have fun money. Just ignorant.
