That literally means nothing. Castro’s father was some shitty plantation owner, yet Castro threw out Batista (around the same age as Mamdani I might add) and expropriate all plantations to the socialist state, starting first with his father’s.
That baffles me. A child of a Marxist becoming an imperialist ghoul would at least make sense, but instead we get people like Kamala or Buttigeig who seem like they haven’t spent 5 minutes in a room with a marxist, or they wouldn’t be shocked that “titans of industry” side with fascism.
Its not that they rebel against their parents or use what they’ve learned to evil ends, its like they go their entire childhood without ever listening.
In western academia that means more like helping a think tank manufacture consent to overthrow african governments or inform the cia on how to best archive it.
I haven’t personally read his work but that’s not really what the leftists i’ve seen talk about it made it seem like. Made it seem more marxist or marxist-adjacent. anti-imperialist at the very least

Its a generalization.
