🚨 From Bernie to “Full-Fledged Communists”: Inside DSA’s Radicalization Christopher Winston, known by many for his online moniker BlackRedGuard, is never one to hide behind language or dodge a question. He says people who entered DSA through Bernie Sanders have since become “full-fledged communists.” He says younger members are drawn to Red Rabbits, DSA security team largely focused on protests, because they like seeing DSA “actually taking this stuff seriously.” And a lot has changed in the last few years for Winston as he became a national DSA leader. He is co-chair of National AfroSoc, sits on the steering committee of a national Red Rabbits Security Commission, leads a local Red Rabbits subcommittee, and serves as a political education co-chair. Meanwhile, he openly talks about “toppling and overthrowing this shit,” says “the proletariat must eventually eat up the bourgeoisie,” upholds “protracted people’s war,” and would like to see the state become a Maoist “proletarian weapon.” These are tame considering other past comments on his. What I wish journalists interviewing DSA leaders would do is move beyond simply accepting the “big tent” explanation and actually press them on the figures gaining influence inside the organization. Christopher Winston is a perfect example. If someone holds multiple local and national roles while openly advocating Marxist-Leninist-Maoist politics, “protracted people’s war,” and revolutionary state power, DSA’s leadership should be asked directly what that says about the organization’s trajectory.

On CNN NewsNight, The Atlantic’s Jemele Hill argues that capitalism is oppressive and bound up in white supremacy. Kmele Foster: “It's one thing to not think capitalism isn't working ideally. It's another thing entirely to insist that it is oppressive, that it is bound up with white supremacy. Hill: “How is it not?” Foster: “I've always preferred Adam Smith's description of capitalism as the natural system of liberty. The idea that people can own property, that they can exchange it freely with one another for profit, that they can find ways to put their resources to good use and profit in a way that is actually beneficial to everyone else, that there can be gains from trade that are mutually beneficial. These are foundational ideas that have created more wealth than any other system in human history. That is what capitalism is! That is not white supremacy.” Hill: “Do you think capitalism has always worked that way?” Foster: “I've actually just described the basic facts of the economics.” Hill: “That ain't how it's always worked.” Foster: “Slavery is an institution that is older than writing. It predates capitalism. The notion that white supremacy and all these other things are bound up with capitalism in an intrinsic and fundamental way is so absurd and laughable, it barely needs to be defended.” Hill: “How was it absurd?” Foster: “It barely needs to be defended.” Hill: “What do you mean it barely needs to be defended?” Foster: “You actually have to articulate what the connections is. How are these two things the same? I'm talking about private property, the right to exchange and sell with whomever you like. What does that have to do with white supremacy? … What is the white supremacy dynamic of private property?“

Let’s kill this lie once and for all: Racism doesn’t come from working-class struggle. To claim the white working class would treat Black and Brown people better if they were economically happier is dishonest. It paints them as thoughtless, incapable of moral choice, and worse, it excuses their racism. Poverty doesn’t create racism; white supremacy does. And blaming hardship is just another way to protect it. If they truly cared about their economic struggle, they’d know what’s in Nigel Farage’s manifesto. They’d see that his policies are a direct assault on their own livelihoods. But they don’t care to know, because racism is the priority, not survival. In the age of the internet, ignorance is a choice. Information is at their fingertips, yet they choose hate over truth, division over solidarity. There are no excuses left. They’re complicit, and it’s time we stop pretending otherwise. White liberals in Britain, including Individuals like Gary Stevenson and others who see themselves as non-racists, or the ‘not all white people’ brigade end up gate keeping the deeply entrenched racism in the UK, this direct attack, this insult to the intelligence of Black and Brown people also shines a light on the extent of implicit racism permeated within Britain as a whole. This protects the very structures that uphold white supremacy. Their ‘white fragility’ exposes the truth: Britain’s racism isn’t confined to the far right. It’s polite, it’s intellectual, it’s middle-class. It hides behind reasoned tones and liberal credentials. And that’s why this country never has an honest conversation about racism, because white people of every class are terrified of what the mirror will show them. The truth is too ugly, and they’d rather rewrite it than face it.

🚨 Inside DSA’s “Workers Deserve More” Socialism 2026 Panel: Abolish the Senate, Build “Militant” Unions, and Use a “Roadmap” to the “Big Thing” Not everyone is going to have time to sit through the full Hasan Piker panel on DSA’s “Workers Deserve More” program at Socialism 2026, so here are some of my favorite moments that really hammer home what DSA’s national leaders, with Hasan as hype man, say they are trying to build. DSA national co-chair Megan Romer says, “we know we’re not abolishing the Senate tomorrow.” Instead, the program is a “roadmap” for DSA politicians, chapters, and union organizers to push toward goals like social housing, moving “a little policy here and a little policy there” that can “eventually build up to this big thing.” Fellow national co-chair Ashik Siddique says DSA is “not formally a party, although we are functioning more and more like one,” while describing an internal debate ranging from formally breaking away and creating a new party to trying to “realign the Democratic Party.” Michaela Branagan, co-chair of the Workers Deserve More Program Committee, casually says, “we also talk about abolishing the Senate because who needs a Senate, right?” She also points to “powerful militant democratic unions” as part of DSA’s vision of what “real democracy” should look like. And when labor power comes up, Siddique points to the historical ability of organized workers “to shut down the economy” and says, “we need to rebuild labor power.” Are you ready to #TrySocialism yet? So is “the big thing” just DSA-speak for the revolution?
