🚨 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?show more

🚨 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?

🚨 DSA’s Case for Abolishing the Presidency: Every President Has Been “Super Evil” During DSA’s launch call for its new political program, Frances Gill, a member of Groundwork, about as milquetoast as DSA gets, argued that “every president since the founding of the country has been super evil.” She used that claim to explain why DSA wants to abolish the presidency and replace it with a prime minister or another yet-to-be-determined role. Even DSA’s least radical wing appears incapable of offering a serious critique of American government or history. I bet that if I were to critique Marx, Lenin, or another leftist icon, however, there would suddenly be endless context, caveats, and apologetics.

🚨 THE DSA JUST DROPPED THE MASK Democratic Socialists of America went from a fringe group with 5,000 members to a real force inside the Democratic Party after Bernie Sanders in 2016. They helped elect AOC and pushed Medicare for All and the Green New Deal. Now they’ve adopted a new program that makes their endgame crystal clear. According to their latest platform, a true DSA politician must support: - Full amnesty for illegal immigrants - Abolishing the presidency - Abolishing the Supreme Court - Abolishing prisons This isn’t moderate progressivism. It’s open radicalism. And their national co-chair is already warning establishment Democrats that a fight is coming. The fringe didn’t stay fringe.

🚨 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 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.

🚨 DSA Is Already Plotting Its 2027–2028 Power Grab DSA NPC member Sidney Carlson White was on tonight’s The DSA Difference call telling chapters to start preparing now for the 2027 and 2028 elections. “DSA thinks in years and decades, not news cycles.” DSA is not resting on its laurels. Its national leadership is already thinking about the next campaign cycle, the next slate of candidates, and how to use national infrastructure to make those candidates more disciplined, more fearless, and more aligned with DSA’s “Workers Deserve More” program, which I exposed last month. White is explicit that this is not just about winning elections. DSA sees elections, unions, street protests, tenant organizing, and national coordination as pieces of one “holistic political vision.”

🚨 Democrats Are an “Imperialist Apparatus,” and an Ossoff-AOC Ticket Would Make This DSA Insider “Die a Little Inside” I went a little long on this supercut, but Philly DSA’s James Ray gave Briahna Joy Gray what I’d call a very good “everyman DSA” interview. They cover a lot of ground, from the Democratic Party as an oppositional force, to a genuinely useful explainer of DSA’s factional caucuses for anyone unfamiliar with the DSA Left vs. DSA Right, to the cross-caucus consensus behind DSA’s platform and the internal debate over an AOC presidential run. “The Democrats exist as another wing of an imperialist apparatus to ensure the maintenance of capital and to ensure the maintenance of US empire.” Ray says socialist elected officials operating as Democrats should be “consistently agitating” through “maximalist political rhetoric and actions.” On AOC, he calls her “a political careerist” and says even “defund [the police]” amounts to “moderate demands if you’re a socialist.” Then there’s the potential nightmare scenario of AOC ending up as Jon Ossoff’s VP. Gray jokes about people who think it would “mean so much to America if Jon Ossoff had a VP that was AOC,” and Ray says that outcome would make him “die a little on the inside.” A lot of people claim to be experts on DSA. I always find it more useful to go directly to the source and just listen. This interview is a great example of a DSA primary source. Ray is an up-and-coming and increasingly influential figure within the organization, and you get a much better sense of its internal politics by hearing him explain them in his own words. The fact that he thinks Jacobin has drifted too far to the right may capture the political moment, and the entryism at work inside DSA, better than almost anything else in the interview.

🚨 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.

🚨 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.

DSA Co-Chair Ashik Siddique laid out the group’s strategy for using the Democratic Party as a launching pad for an independent socialist party. Siddique said DSA is a “big tent” that includes members who want to reform Democrats, those calling for a clean break, and others pursuing a “dirty break” using the party’s ballot line until they are forced out. He described the prevailing “party surrogate model” as running DSA candidates under the Democratic label while building the infrastructure for a future socialist party. Representing the DSA’s Groundwork Caucus, Siddique made the goal explicit: “We are trying to build the party, and in many ways we’re already doing it.” It is important to understand that Siddique is the DSA’s respectable frontman, the buttoned up figure they present so attention drifts away from members calling to abolish the family or boasting that New York City is flying people in for trans healthcare and footing the bill. It is an open admission that the DSA’s long game is to hollow out the Democratic Party from the inside until it is ready to replace it or compete against it directly, which, as you will hear later, is exactly what they do in deep blue areas.

🚨 DSA’s Michaela Branagan Says Militant Labor Organizing is Happening “On the DL” At Socialism 2026, DSA’s Michaela Branagan said she is “not particularly a constitutionalist” and suggested it would be “one step in the right direction” if the Constitution did not “primarily protect private property like ours does.” She then turned to a much less visible side of DSA organizing, what Branagan herself describes as “radical militant democratic unionism.” Branagan says DSA members are building a “current of radical militant democratic unionism” inside unions and that this work often happens “on the DL” through “strategic organizing.” She says the labor side of DSA gets far less attention than its electoral work precisely because people do not see what its members are doing inside organized labor. Branagan even credits socialist labor organizing, in part, with creating a more “militant sea of struggle” inside unions. The electoral victories get the headlines. Her point is that a quieter part of DSA’s project is being built inside workplaces and unions. I’m going to turn this into a thread and pull together some concrete examples of what Branagan is talking about.

🚨 New DSA Talking Point Just Dropped! Communists Inside DSA Are Apparently Just “Highly Obscure Historical Strains” Paola Ramos of The Moment podcast point-blank asked DSA’s national co-chairs whether they consider themselves communists and what separates communism from DSA. Megan Romer took the question, but never really answered either part. Instead, she describes DSA as a “big tent” stretching from social democrats to “highly obscure historical strains” that she sometimes struggles to understand. But she never mentions Maoists. She never mentions Trotskyists. She never even mentions Marxist-Leninists, despite her own affiliation with the Red Star Caucus. These “highly obscure historical strains” wield real power inside the organization, actively shaping its policies and priorities. Romer eventually defines democratic socialism as “transferring power from the ruling class to the working class,” including through elections, labor unions, and tenant unions.

Look closely at this clip. The DSA’s purple-state test just got real. Rep. Francesca Hong — DSA member, currently leading the Democratic primary for governor in Wisconsin — just reaffirmed on Fox the remarkable string of “yes” answers she gave Hasan Piker in early July on every one of the DSA’s planks. Then came the carefully scripted pivot engineered to sound more moderate than radical. Her delivery: flat, practiced, almost AI robotic. What makes this a remarkable moment is that Hong is ahead in a presidential battleground with a Republican legislature. Trump won this state. The August 11 primary, as I wrote earlier this month in my Just the Facts “The Democrats’ Tea Party Moment,” is the clearest test yet of whether the DSA can rebrand itself enough to win more than just deep blue districts. If Hong wins, “DSA can’t win outside Brooklyn” dies as a theory. Judge for yourself.

Sen. Ted Cruz nails it: “Socialist isn't even the right term. These DSA radicals are communists. They're open Marxists. They're calling for ripping up the Constitution. They're calling for abolishing the United States Senate. They're calling for the House of Representatives to appoint the president and the Supreme Court. They are calling for property confiscation. They are calling for government ownership of, of companies and, and taking over the economy. This is, if you look across the globe, whether it is communist China or communist Soviet Union or communist Cuba or communist North Korea, communism produces misery, poverty, suffering, and death, a-and the dynamic we've got is, is most of the Democrats, they're, they don't fully agree with it right now. But they're looking at their party and they're saying, "The young people, the crazies, the radicals, the energy, the money, that's where it is," and not a one of them is willing to say, "These people are bat crap crazy."”

🚨 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.

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.

🚨 JOHN FETTERMAN JUST TORCHED THE DSA LEFT Pennsylvania’s senator isn’t playing along. On the socialist-backed Michigan candidate Abdul El-Sayed and the growing list of far-left candidates: “Four out of five Hamas members love that guy… These are the kind of people that, as a Democrat, I just can’t ever defend.” They’re calling for abolishing ICE, the police, prisons, the Senate, the presidency, and more. Fetterman’s message is clear: These people are not Democrats. They should run under their own party. Fetterman is one of the only Democrats willing to say it out loud.

Nick Shirley says the Democratic Socialist of America are actually pushing more extreme ideas than even communism “It’s basically communism, if not even worse than communism, because they literally want to have prisoners out on the streets, which would endanger a lot of women. And it's just wild to think that you do have a large portion of the population who actually believe in this” The DSA is one of the fastest growing political movements in America, they’re essentially taking over the Democrat Party If Democrats get elected they’ll open the border, the radical socialists will move towards abolishing prisons and America will be destroyed from the inside

🚨 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.

David Sacks: The DSA is taking over the Democratic Party, here are their radical policy goals “They actually say they want to abolish the Senate. They want to abolish the carceral state, that means basically police forces and prisons. They want to abolish ICE and grant amnesty for all, they do not support any deportations whatsoever. They want to replace the President and Supreme Court with an executive and judiciary that is chosen by and subordinate to Congress. So this would be a total makeover of our constitutional system. They want public ownership of major corporations. They want to defund the Department of War. This is a very radical organization, and you would laugh at a lot of these types of proposals, but you can't really laugh at it anymore because these guys are taking over the Democratic Party. They do not actually see the traditional establishment wing of the Democratic Party as an ally. They see it as an obstacle. A DSA co-chair said, ‘We're using the Democratic Party as a ballot access vehicle, not because we share its goals. We build our own organization, get elected under the Democratic label, caucus with Democrats when it's useful, and push our own agenda from the inside. We see the Democratic establishment as an obstacle, not a home.’ So the DSA is coming for the Democratic Party. It controls the base now, it's where all the energy is. I think this takeover will continue.”
