I'm thinking of running for mayor in my town. Could I seize the means of production as a mayor?

nope. You're lucky if you win though. You get to be a very minor celebrity and get paid for doing very little.

I wanted to run to be a comptroller or something but I don't have money or a college degree so I prob won't win

Not really. At best you can attempt to slow down neoliberal economics and collapsing of public services and help co-ops at local level.

If it's a small town you could do something that might cause a stirr and you get regional/national attention.

What country are you from?

Since when do SocDems care about co-ops?

Since we started caring about trade unions(ie. form days since we split away form Marxists and democratic socialists in early 1920`s) that stud for reforming conditions of working class.

If this is what you're honestly thinking, you've already lost. Read Bordiga.

USA.

OP should introduce mandatory readings of Bordiga at the public school level.

you could start a community daycare or something

Your best bet would be to support co-ops and use your little bully pulpit to preach about socialism. Tell the townspeople to ask a co-op member what it's like to control the MoP and such.

No but you can carry out many programs

Municipal Socialism bruh

Raise dem tax rates, create affordable housing, better schools, environmental initiatives etc

No.

If it's your first time running for office, you probably won't win. Keep that in mind.

Disgusting

what party is that and where are you from?

No only workers can sieze the means of production.

You have to get a job sweeping the floor at a massive forging plant, then you can take one of the gigantic furnaces home with you because you own it.
Then quit your job and get a job somewhere else and take something else home. Until you own everything. Muahahahaa.

Despite their primitivism and Islamophobia the SWPE are better.

This is pretty much what the seize the memes tactic boils down to.

you can use property taxes to target the rich and have programs that directly help the workers fam
