Even after a string of recent victories in congressional primaries by members of the Democratic Socialists of America, national Democrats appear slow to recognize that ideologues on the left are attempting a hostile takeover of the party. The DSA’s ascent comes on the heels of a years long effort by socialists and progressive activists to steer one of America’s two major political parties toward identity politics, isolationism, and hostility to capitalism.
Democrats looking for a way to reclaim their party can find inspiration in the career of Neil Kinnock, who in the mid-1980s rescued the British Labour Party from a determined band of sectarian zealots.
Exactly the type of content I’ve come to expect from our favorite username! However, I do wonder why the official position of the DSA is to pacify Russia, up to and including ending military aid to Ukraine. https://international.dsausa.org/ukraine/
Anti-interventionism. Which is all fine and well. But I think if there was ever an excuse to support someone with military aid etc. The aggression Ukraine is facing from their fascistic neighbor, justifies it nicely. There’s nothing malicious or nefarious about it. Definitely advantageous to putler. But it is ideologically based and consistent.
