🚨 DSA declares a socialist mandate over 3 million New Yorkers: “We control these areas” On tonight’s DSA call, the message was clear. DSA is staking its claim to New York City and warning challengers it is not worth trying. “Don’t even try it. We control these areas.” As DSA celebrated a slate of New York victories, Osman Chaudhary, co-chair of the New York City DSA Electoral Working Group, declared that the organization now has a “democratic socialist mandate in New York City.” DSA shared a wild stat. More than 3 million New Yorkers are now represented by socialists at multiple levels of government, and in some neighborhoods, at every level of government.

🚨 DSA Entryism 101 - Why Marxist-Leninists See DSA as Fertile Ground A lot of people still think DSA is mainly about electoral work. This clip with James Harr of Means Workwear and James Ray of Philly DSA shows something else, how DSA can function as a target for radical organizing and entryism. Ray is a great example of the kind of organizer who enters DSA not because it is the most disciplined revolutionary party, or even the closest fit for his politics, but because it has the biggest membership base, the most infrastructure, and people he believes can be moved further left. As Harr puts it, “Any person that comes into the DSA is already more open to the most radical position that you could have.” He then says, “Entering into that space as an ML [Marxist-Leninist] is the most fruitful ground for talking to people and convincing them of the most radical position.” What is being articulated here is entryism, reframed as organic organizing within a mass-membership institution.

🚨 DSA’s Future Leaders Say the Organization Is White Supremacist, Paternalistic, and Protecting Abusers This Young Democratic Socialists of America meeting was really something. These candidates are running for seats on YDSA’s national leadership body and could become some of DSA’s future leaders. Yet much of the discussion focused on what they described as the organization’s entrenched problems with white supremacy, patriarchy, anti-Blackness, racism, harassment, abusers, and its reputation as “five white guys sitting around and reading theory.” The candidates did not confine these criticisms to a few isolated chapters. They described whiteness, racism, and “white-centered organizational practices” as problems extending across local YDSA chapters, YDSA’s national structures, and the broader DSA organization. I do not generally think it is fair to reduce DSA to simply a “white organization.” Its membership and culture can vary considerably by chapter and region. I would describe the organization more broadly as overeducated, downwardly mobile, and arguably elitist. That said, DSA’s national leadership does play some remarkably vicious internal games, conduct that Cliff Connolly has described as “bureaucratic freakery.” Perhaps that is the deeper dysfunction these aspiring leaders are picking up on, even if they interpret it primarily through the language of whiteness and white supremacy. But it is still remarkable to hear so many aspiring DSA leaders portray both YDSA and the national organization as fundamentally shaped by white supremacy. Stick around until the end to hear yours truly mentioned.

🧵 DSA says its Red Rabbits initiative is about “security.” But according to its own authorizing resolution, the project is preparing for a “national uprising against federal agents and police brutality.” A recent panel showed what that means in practice. “Takedowns on intersections,” training where participants practiced being pepper-sprayed, firearm-safety training, protest marshalling, umbrellas and signs to block “fascists,” and direct-action support for Palestine and immigrant-justice groups. The legal-risk issue was obvious enough that even the panelists kept circling it. They talked about compliance, liability, tax purposes, and how far DSA could push this without putting the organization at risk. One organizer even described keeping a project DSA-sponsored but not fully DSA-run, so the fallout would not “come back to the DSA.” My latest for City Journal!

🚨 Hasan Piker Is the DSA’s Cheerleader-in-Chief: “I Don’t Think I Can Physically Support the DSA More” This supercut is a perfect look at how Hasan Piker goes to bat for the DSA. Hasan phone banks for DSA-backed congressional candidates, recruits volunteers, amplifies their campaigns to his massive audience, and tells one viewer, “I don’t think I can physically support the DSA more than I already have.” After a few days in the Big Apple, Piker says he is still in New York because “there is a lot happening in this city for socialism,” while praising the DSA for what they’ve built and for “chipping away at the Democratic Party machine.” Now he is taking the act to Denver today, where he is appearing with Melat Kiros, the democratic socialist running in Colorado’s 1st Congressional District.

🚨 Is This Chris Cuomo Surrendering to DSA? Is DSA the Future of the Democratic Party? This Chris Cuomo segment almost feels like a surrender to the DSA. Cuomo frames the Democratic Socialists of America as the Democrats’ best shot at capturing populist affordability anger, then brings on DSA co-chair Ashik Siddique to make the socialist case. And who is the counterpoint? John Morgan of Morgan & Morgan, a Democratic mega-donor law-firm guy warning that socialism leads to Cuba and Venezuela. If the public face of the anti-DSA argument inside Democratic politics is a wealthy establishment Democrat telling people to trust the old Bill Clinton model while sounding like a Cold War PSA, then DSA has already won the optics fight before Ashik even opens his mouth. The worst part is that Morgan is basically right about the danger. He is just the worst possible messenger for it. If I had his ear, I would have told him to stop doing generic “socialism bad” warnings and get specific. Hit DSA on its own record. Hit them on their repeated delegations to Cuba and Venezuela, the praise for socialist regimes, the constant laundering of authoritarian politics through “solidarity,” and the new DSA platform coming this July, which I broke the news on. Saying “socialism bad” in the abstract does nothing. The argument has to be specific. DSA is bad by its own words and actions. By the delegations it sends, the regimes it flatters, the platform it passes, and the radicals it keeps elevating. Cuomo basically tees Siddique up as young and plugged into the future of the party. Morgan comes off like a dinosaur. And if he is serious about taking back his party, whoever is advising him on how to talk about DSA is doing him no favors.

🚨 Conservatives Still Do Not Understand DSA You really do have to give DSA credit for being a scrappy organization that consistently punches above its weight. Denver DSA is a perfect example. This relatively small 2021 canvass included three future NPC members in Hayley Banyai-Becker, Ahmed Husain, and Andrew Thompson. Banyai-Becker and Husain no longer even live in the Mile High City, having taken their organizing experience to other states, but Denver DSA has continued to grow. NYC DSA understandably gets most of the attention, but chapters like Denver have served as national leadership incubators while helping topple a 15-term incumbent. Meanwhile, many conservative influencers use “DSA” so loosely that they cannot even accurately identify whether a candidate is a member, formally endorsed, or affiliated with the organization at all. The real story is the organization’s leadership pipeline and the people working behind the scenes to build power, export organizers, and rack up victories without ever being noticed by the broader conservative media sphere.

🚨 NYC DSA’s Albany Ambition Slips Out on Their First Call Since Mamdani’s Win On last night’s NYC DSA Zoom call, the first since Mamdani’s victory, Jamaal Bowman said the quiet part out loud. He urged members to build an “organizing infrastructure, ecosystem and machine that helps to decide the next big statewide race, which is the governor’s race next year.” Most of Mamdani’s agenda is budgetary. To enact it, NYC DSA needs both the governor and enough legislative power to pass and fund it through Albany’s budget process. But here is their problem. The only person in their orbit who could seriously challenge Hochul is AOC. And NYC DSA has never had the smoothest relationship with her. AOC is the only figure with the name recognition, the national fundraising base, and the movement pull to make a real statewide run. And she may be looking past Albany entirely, with growing talk of a 2028 presidential bid. If she skips it, NYC DSA has no viable contender. If they want the governor’s mansion, their entire path still runs through AOC.

🚨 Meet the National DSA Leader Defending a “Community Force Under Communism” Hazel Williams sits on DSA’s National Political Committee, formerly co-chaired California DSA, and helped craft the language in DSA’s new platform calling for “steps towards abolishing the carceral forces of the capitalist state.” Williams makes clear that “abolish the police” does not necessarily mean no enforcement structure ever. It means abolishing police as a force of the capitalist state. In her own words, she does not mean abolishing “some community force under communism” that can “hold each other accountable.” The leaders from the “Commie Caucuses,” DSA’s own internal term, are often the ones pushing the organization further and further left, while the media still debates whether DSA really means the radical things it says. As media talking heads rush to condemn Trump for calling DSA electeds Communist, have they bothered to look at DSA’s board of directors, its National Political Committee, which is now majority Communist?

🚨 DSA Top National Leader: “We’re Fighting To Have Worker Control Of Every Aspect Of Our Lives” — “There’s No Democracy in the Democratic Party” On the Progressive Victory stream, DSA National Political Committee Co-Chair Megan Romer — one of the two top figures in the organization alongside Ashik Siddique — says the quiet part out loud. “We’re not fighting for a kinder, gentler capitalism… we’re not fighting to soften the edges.” Instead, she lays out the real goal: “worker control of every aspect of our lives” — housing, workplaces, and communities. Romer also draws a hard line between DSA and the Democratic Party. She says there is “no democracy” in the Democratic Party, that it is run by donors and patronage networks, and contrasts that with DSA’s model of collective decision-making and explicitly socialist organizing. Then she makes the ideological break unmistakable: “We are explicitly socialist… we’re not the Democrats… stop calling us that.” That matters, because DSA is often treated as just another faction inside the broader Democratic coalition. Romer is saying the opposite. She is describing a separate political project with a separate theory of power. And she openly pitches DSA on those terms: not just voting every few years, but joining an organization where you can help decide campaigns, shape organizing priorities, and influence political direction yourself.

Black America is more dependent on welfare and government jobs than any other group, so why is DSA a white college club that can’t sign them up? Blacks are 13% of the population, take 28% of SNAP, and fill 19% of federal jobs. Nonmarital births near 70% drive the poverty that keeps the dependency high. Polls give them HIGHER favorability for SOCIALISM than whites (52% to 31%) so we know the bigger checks already sell. And yet, DSA membership stays some 85% white with black numbers stuck in the single digits. And that’s because so far (1) the DSA pushes defunding the police and open borders while black neighborhoods eat the crime, and (2) it runs secular campus culture that is more urban, white, and not exactly working class. So blacks just stick with the Democratic machine that already cuts the checks. HOWEVER, when DSA candidates drop the culture war and run pure economics as they’ve done in places like DC, they win black wards the same way Democrats already lock in socially conservative Black churchgoers who take the welfare programs and ignore the rest of the socially liberal bs. That limited focus is enough for them now and it will be enough for DSA.

🚨 Neville Roy Singham’s Niece Says DSA’s New York Wins Could Lead to a Socialist Presidential Campaign Alicia Singham Goodwin, the niece of far-left billionaire financier Neville Roy Singham, is a member of NYC DSA’s Steering Committee. She joined tonight’s DSA call celebrating its New York victories to discuss where the organization goes next. Goodwin said DSA’s electoral wins are “just one piece” of building the power needed to “transform people’s lives.” She laid out the next phase: freezing the rent, fighting for fast and free buses, moving from Zohran’s 2,000-childcare pilot to universal childcare, and using 2027 in Albany to tax the rich. She made clear this will require pressure from DSA members on the ground: “We’ll have the same uphill battle that we’ve had every year we fought to tax the rich, but we’re going in with double the number of our socialists in office and hopefully double the number of DSA members on the ground to really keep the pressure up.” Then she pointed to 2028... “If we grow and we build enough between now and then, the next year in 2028, we might be working on a campaign for a democratic socialist for president.” Goodwin closed by asking people not just to join DSA or pay local dues, but to “become an organizer.” Not gonna lie, after everything I know and everything I’ve seen, seeing her of all people on that call was a genuine holy-crap moment. Especially when she’s the one delivering the socialist presidency message.

🚨 From “Stalin Was On It” to Red Rabbits: Inside Philly DSA’s Revolutionary Current James Ray of Philadelphia DSA is a perfect example of how DSA’s radical flank uses the organization to push the Overton window toward revolution. In this supercut, Ray jokes about putting ICE officers in camps, says he gets closer every day to thinking “Stalin was on it,” embraces being called a “jihadist,” and describes Jersey State Police as “Hitlerites” and “fascist dogs.” But the most important part is Ray’s role inside DSA. He lays out his work in international solidarity, local anti-apartheid organizing, and the Red Rabbits, “Philly DSA’s security and marshaling contingent.” In conversation with the infamous James Harr of Means TV, who people may remember from his “Most Wanted CEOs” deck, Harr and Ray discuss DSA as a place where anyone who enters is already more open to “the most radical position,” making it “the most fruitful ground” for Marxist-Leninists to win people over. People talk about DSA taking over the Democratic Party, and in many places it is. But inside DSA, people like Ray are dragging the organization toward revolutionary politics and making the radical flank less of a flank every year.

🚨 Dave Smith’s DSA Analysis Falls Apart Immediately Libertarians, you don’t have to agree with me on everything. But if you want serious DSA coverage based on what the organization is actually saying and doing internally, please consider my work. Dave Smith’s DSA analysis is not good, which is shocking given how confidently he talks about it, the fact that he is a libertarian, and his ties to New York. He gets a few things right, but this is not high-level analysis of the socialist left. The most revealing part is that Dave seems unsure whether Zohran Mamdani is actually a democratic socialist or meaningfully connected to DSA. Zohran is one of DSA’s clearest success stories, someone recruited, trained, elevated, and elected through the movement. He is the poster boy for DSA and one of the clearest examples of DSA’s project to build power through the Democratic ballot line. Dave treats all of this like little-d little-s “democratic socialism,” as if these are just welfare liberals who are not really socialists and occasionally latch onto whatever issue is trending. But DSA is not randomly latching onto wokeism, Bernie, Gaza, Iran, or Lebanon. These positions flow from a worldview. When DSA “latches onto” something, whether it is anti-ICE activism, Gaza, or labor militancy, it is usually because the organization wants to operate inside the broader movement space and pull those fights into its socialist project. Libertarians should be the people most interested in getting this right. If your opponents are openly trying to put government, unions, and socialist institutions into every corner of economic and civic life while building a democratic socialist republic, you should probably know what they actually believe.

🚨 DSA National Co-Chair: We Use the Democratic Ballot Line as a Vehicle for “Socialist Power” and “the Democratic Party leadership hates that, and we think that's great.” Ashik Siddique made the strategy explicit: DSA runs candidates on the Democratic ballot line, and it also works to “throw out bad Democrats,” but the larger goal is building “independent power” that can take on both parties. “We are trying to organize to throw out bad Democrats, but we're also building socialist power, and the point for us is to build independent power through our organization.” “Mostly we do run people on the ballot line in primaries on the Democratic Party ballot line, but we have our independent power, and the Democratic Party leadership hates that, and we think that's great.” Sure sounds like DSA is a parasite and the Democratic Party, for some reason, refuses to rip it off.

"Dan, very few people are as engaged with this issue [as you], I feel like I've learned alot from your interviews with people who've done the organizing on the ground. I don't have any pushback about the efficacy of the DSA. My question is how broadly applicable those strategies are, what is unique about NY & the phenomenon that started with AOC's run, which was not a DSA fueled & enabled run the way its so frequently characterized."

🚨 NYC-DSA’s Decade-Long Power Grab, Explained by Its Own Co-Chair Even though this is a five-minute clip, people should watch the whole thing. NYC-DSA Co-Chair Grace Mausser gives a remarkably clear history of how DSA clawed itself back to life. From Bernie’s 2016 reboot to AOC and Julia Salazar proving DSA could win power in 2018, to the razor-thin 55-vote Queens DA loss, to the 2020 slate that built their “inside-outside” governing strategy, Mausser traces a decade of wins, losses, tactical growth, and co-governance that ultimately led to Zohran. Bernie brought DSA back to life. Zohran showed them what it could become.

🚨 DSA’s Post-Election Plan: “Tax the F*cking Rich” The Democratic Socialists of America held a NYC-wide call tonight, and they made it unmistakably clear: Zohran Mamdani’s win is the launchpad for a full-on state-level tax revolution. They even opened with: “Now we’re going to talk about taxing the f*cking rich." “We need it for Zohran’s agenda. We need it for society.” “The fight is not over. We ran this mayor’s race because we believe in a New York City where everyone can live in dignity that everyone can afford.” “We can stand up to Trump and implement a democratic socialist agenda, Zohran's agenda, our agenda, at the state level by taxing the rich.” DSA is now gearing up for a six-month statewide push to rewrite next year’s Albany budget and fund the entire Mamdani program through massive tax hikes — door-knocking, rallies, pressure campaigns, the whole apparatus. They’re holding a “massive kickoff rally” on November 16 at Union Square, and they hammered the same command over and over: join DSA, join DSA, join DSA. DSA is openly framing Mamdani’s win as the spark for a statewide socialist tax war — and they’re not even pretending otherwise. More clips to come…

🚨 The Mask Is Off: DSA, ANSWER, and The People’s Forum Plan Weeks of “Escalation” At today’s ANSWER “Stop the War on Venezuela” webinar, Ashik Siddique, co-chair of DSA’s National Political Committee, pledged to “escalate” with The People’s Forum and ANSWER — “over the next few weeks.” Siddique is the DSA straightman, the buttoned-up milquetoast face of the organization, which is exactly why this matters. Even he is speaking in movement code about “the heart of empire,” “can’t leave any power on the table,” and finding “all the cracks” in a collapsing power structure and “hammer[ing] away.” This escalation plan is framed as a duty to weaken America from within. Don't be fooled by the "anti-war" framing. It’s an escalation pipeline packaged as solidarity.

Zohran Mamdani Spells Out the Socialist Playbook—In Plain English. This isn’t about public service. It’s about revolution. In a 2023 speech to the DSA faithful, Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani lays out the blueprint for how socialists plan to consolidate power in America—and make no mistake, it’s not about winning elections, it’s about seizing institutions. “If socialism is our theory and DSA is our practice, then a committee is where the two meet… it is praxis.” Translation: Every elected seat is just another gear in the machine. Mamdani is blunt: “Winning an election is not an end, it is a means to an end.” That “end” isn’t better schools, safer streets, or a functional city. It’s building a permanent socialist infrastructure—one that demands loyalty, control, and ideological obedience. He urges every DSA chapter nationwide to set up internal party-style committees to guide their elected officials—because they’re not representing voters, they’re answering to the movement: “You know what exactly it is you're asking people to sign up for and… what their role will be in those legislative chambers.” And the intellectual inspiration? Not Jefferson or Madison. Not Lincoln. Mamdani quotes Amílcar Cabral—a Marxist revolutionary who praised armed struggle and aligned with communist regimes. “Tell no lies, mask no difficulties, claim no easy victories.” Let’s not mask what’s happening here. This is a political colonization strategy: hijack democratic institutions, answer to the DSA, and build a machine fueled by “free time and free labor” from radicalized foot soldiers. Oh, and Mamdani ends with this gem: “It is insufficient to simply elect those with a different set of politics… we must also elect as many people as possible in this moment when fascism is on the rise.” When they say “fascism,” they mean you. Anyone who disagrees. Anyone who believes in America as founded. This is the DSA plan. Mamdani’s not hiding it. He’s reading it aloud. NYC’s Democratic Primary is TOMORROW. Time to push back!
