The DSA has become more than a political organization—it functions as a community-building institution that gives lonely, nonreligious downwardly mobile young people from elite backgrounds purpose, identity, friendships, and practical political training. That social infrastructure produces highly committed activists who can be deployed across the country to help elect... candidates and gradually normalize hard-left politics. The movement's objective is not merely to elect self-described socialists in the short term, but to build a durable political infrastructure capable of advancing a truly Marxist agenda over time. Figures like Zohran Mamdani help legitimize the ideology, while allied candidates in more moderate or conservative states adapt the same agenda to local political realities—downplaying labels, emphasizing populist themes, or even running as independents—to make those ideas electorally viable where an explicit socialist would struggle.show more

I said last year that Zohran Mamdani would become the face of the Democratic Party and the most political mayor in New York City history. Since taking office, he has used City Hall as a platform to help elect radical socialists across New York. The Democratic Party is being used as a vehicle to advance this radical socialism.

Peter Obi And Kwankwaso Are Assets Every Political Party In Nigeria Would Want To Have - Oyamedan As a party, the NDC cannot directly make laws in the National Assembly or Senate. That is why it is important to elect credible candidates with the character, competence, and commitment to defend the party’s ideology and represent the people. The goal is to ensure a legislature that provides effective oversight and truly serves the interests of Nigerians, rather than acting as a rubber stamp. Benjamin Oyamedan, Member, Nigeria Democratic Congress

Sen. Ted Cruz says Zohran Mamdani and the Democratic Socialists of America are “full-on communists,” warning that political violence has become “a feature, not a bug” of the radical left: “The word ‘communist’ sounds jarring, but that is who these people are. Mamdani is not a socialist. He is a Marxist. He is a full-on communist. The DSA candidates he supported who won in New York are full-on communists. The DSA candidates who won in Colorado are full-on communists. And look, as you know, my family has seen this firsthand. My father was imprisoned and tortured in Cuba as a teenager. My Tía Sonia was imprisoned and tortured by Fidel Castro. This can happen, and this is part and parcel of the strategy. It is to identify the people you hate and then harass them, threaten them, and use violence. Violence is not a bug—it is a feature. It is the objective.The radical left is perfectly fine with using violence to attack its enemies. They put out a list intended for their supporters to, at a minimum, harass these people, but potentially do even worse.”

Tony Blair published a 5,000 word essay on his Institute's website, criticising Keir Starmer for abandoning the "Radical Centre", and not having "a worked-out, coherent plan for the country in a fast-changing world and are in the wrong political position from which we can devise one and win a second term." But most of the commentary about the essay missed that Blair was making a play to set the agenda for the next government, regardless of whether that is Labour or Reform. By pitching his political agenda as non-political — "where you put policy first and politics last" — it puts Blair above politics, as sovereign who decides what constitutes legitimate political action. Blair already vandalised our constitution, entrenched the civil service as a permanent bureaucracy unaccountable to ministers, and "rubbed the right's nose in diversity" with unprecedented demographic change. Blair's agenda is not a foregone conclusion. Any party willing to take his advice cannot be trusted to form a government. The legacy of Blair must be repealed.

At plenary today, I gave my contributions on a lead debate about a bill that sought to amend the Constitution so each geo-political zone can have a President and Vice President after 8 years. While it sounded idealistic and nice, the realities seemed different. Each region has numerous ethnicities and tribes. I also leaned against it as it infringes on the rights of every eligible Nigerian to contest. What is more important than zoning is for we, political and appointed leaders, to dedicate our time and resources for our people to the best of our ability. The antidote to tribalism and mistrust is quality governance across board. The unwritten agreement of power rotating between the North and South is sacrosanct. Political parties and leaders must respect it, as was the case in the 1999 Presidential Elections when only Southern candidates emerged as Presidential candidates. It is a failure on the part of the political class and our political parties that we cannot do the same nowadays. I believe there is no need to have it stated in the constitution as the concept of Federal Character is there to serve as a reminder to some extent. We have more important issues like quality and affordable education, health care insurance to citizens, financial inclusion, tacking unemployment, decreasing our infrastructure deficit and increasing transparency in the public sector. The aspect of the bill was stepped down.

🚨 DSA Just Launched a New 501(c)(4) to Keep Mamdani’s Volunteer Machine Running On tonight’s NYC DSA call, organizers rolled out a new political vehicle meant to extend the Mamdani campaign indefinitely and keep all 100,000 campaign volunteers activated under a new banner. They introduced Jeremy Freeman, a “superpowered” volunteer. “He built the data tools that supported a lot of our canvassing… If you ever used turftools while you were out canvassing, that was Jeremy.” Freeman then laid out the plan. “The goal is to continue organizing those folks to win and defend the affordability agenda.” “Built like a campaign, fully independent of the administration… built in a way that learns from how well the Zohran campaign was run.” Then he said the quiet part out loud. “We got more than 100,000 volunteers involved in this campaign and we want as many of them as possible to join DSA... those 100,000 folks are not gonna all join tomorrow, or even maybe this year, and especially if they're brand new to political activity” “This organization can be a home for them… and then we can help them find their way to DSA and other membership orgs.” So yes, they want the manpower while knowing the socialist label still carries baggage. Smart and dangerous.

The Circle (2000, Panahi)/ Iran "Political movies have limited time. After that time, it doesn’t say anything anymore. But if the whole thing is said in an artistic way, then it doesn’t have an expiration date." --- Jafar Panahi Full Excerpt: "Interviewer: The subject matter of 'The Circle' (2000) is controversial. You mentioned that the film is still banned in Iran. In fact, when I was watching the film, I realized that through the characters, there’s a lot of fear about the system, the establishment, the police. The women can’t smoke; they have to wear the chador; they seem to want to hide every time. This is all very clear from watching the film. Did you deliberately want to make a statement about the political situation in Iran? Panahi: I have to tell you again that I’m not a political person. I don’t like political movies. But I take every opportunity to comment on the social issues. I talk about the current issues. To me it’s not important what is the reason for what has happened. Whether it’s political reasons or geographical reasons: these are not important—but the condition, the social issues. It is important to me to talk about the plight of humanity at that time. I don’t want to give a political view, or start a political war. I think that the artist should rise above this. Political movies have limited time. After that time, it doesn’t say anything anymore. But if the whole thing is said in an artistic way, then it doesn’t have an expiration date. So it doesn’t really serve a political purpose. Then it can be everlasting, for always, and it could be for anywhere. But I know that politically, with the film authorities, with any kind of film that has some political background in it, they would take issue with it. And for this reason, that is what the problem is. Interviewer: Still, your film makes a very strong statement about the problems that women face in Iran. Panahi: Yes, I agree with that. Interviewer: So that is humanitarian, of course, but it’s also political. Panahi: Yes, I agree with that. It has the elements. It all depends on how you look at it. If a person has only political views, then he will only see the political. But if you are a poet or an artist, then you see other things as well in the movie. If you are a socialist, you see political or economic or whatever different points of view. You mustn’t look at a film with only one point of view. If you want to see 'The Circle' (2000) as political, then it is one of the most political movies in Iran. By political, I mean partisan politics. But even the police, I didn’t want to show them as bad. In the first instance, you are afraid of the police. Because you are looking at them from the point of view of someone who is now in prison. And normally you see him in a long shot, but when they come nearer and you see them in a medium shot, you can see their human faces. Then it comes down to, “Do you need any help?” But he goes back again and becomes frightening. If I were being political, then I would always show the police as dangerous or bad persons." (Jafar Panahi's interview with Stephen Teo, Senses of Cinema, 2001)

🚨 Ritchie Torres Challenger Says the Goal Is Not Just to “Remove” Him, but Build Socialism Inside and Outside Elections Andre Easton, a high school teacher and Party for Socialism and Liberation member running for Ritchie Torres’ seat in NY-15, said removing Torres would not be enough. Easton claimed that “349 members” of Congress received “direct funding from Israel,” appearing to recast AIPAC-linked American political spending as foreign funding from Israel. He then argued that removing politicians who support Israel only treats “a symptom” unless activists create a socialist system with “political and economic power” in the hands of the working class. “We understand that this has to be built in the election system, in the election cycle, and outside of the election cycle,” Easton said. He added that the goal is to move people from “hoping for better results” to becoming “active participants” and “active protagonists” working every day to build the world they want. That is the real story here. For Easton and the PSL, the campaign or winning the election is not the endpoint. It is infrastructure. The election is one vehicle for building socialist power, recruiting new cadre, and expanding influence outside the ballot box. Even when PSL candidates lose, the project can still succeed if they move the Overton window, normalize more radical demands, and turn campaign energy into disciplined organization.

Professor Lovemore Madhuku in his Own Words Making the Case for Parliament to Indirectly Elect the President as an Electoral College: “We must not put in the Constitution of the country a provision that is dependant on what happens in a political party. That’s the point I’m making. We must never say in our Constitution of Zimbabwe that if a sitting President dies or resigns, we will wait to hear what the political party of that President is saying. No. That is not the best way of running a country. Political parties remain the preserve of those people who are in those political parties. But the country is run on the basis of either an election by the people—direct election—or you have Parliament as an institution sitting as an electoral college. Where parties have influence, they must do the influence within Parliament, but never to allow the political party to sit there to say I’m giving you this President, and so forth. That’s the point I’m making. And on that point, I’m making it right across the world; that’s what they do.” - Professor Madhuku, addressing a “Heal Zimbabwe Trust” public meeting in Harare on 22 February 2020. COMMENT: Professor Lovemore Madhuku’s 2020 remarks make a clear, powerful and enduring case for Clause 3 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe (Amendment No. 3) H.B.I. Bill, 2026. This clause replaces the direct election of the President with an indirect election by Parliament sitting jointly as an electoral college; both after every general election and, when necessary, to fill any vacancy in the office of President. The current direct election of the President was first introduced in anticipation of a legislated one-party-one-man rule through Constitution Amendment No. 7, Act 1987 in the old Lancaster Constitution repealed in 2013. Professor Madhuku put it plainly: The Constitution should not—as it currently does— depend on the internal decisions of a political party to select a successor to the President of the country. When a sitting President dies, resigns or is removed, the nation should not have to wait and hear what that President’s political party “is saying.” That is not a constitutionally proper way to run a country. Political parties exist for their own members. The country, however, belongs to all Zimbabweans. The proper solution is straightforward: Parliament—the institution chosen by the people—should act as the electoral college. Inside that open forum, parties may exercise their influence transparently and accountably. No party should ever stand outside the Constitution and simply “give” the nation its next leader. This principle is not abstract. Worldwide, presidential by-elections to fill mid-term vacancies are extremely rare. Most stable presidential systems instead use automatic succession by a deputy or, increasingly, allow the legislature to elect a successor who serves out the remainder of the term. These arrangements place national continuity and stability above partisan interests. Clause 3 of the Bill follows exactly this proven path. By giving Parliament the clear duty to elect the President—whether at the start of a new term or in an unforeseen vacancy—Zimbabwe will secure stronger democratic stability, and keep the highest office firmly within the people’s constitutional framework rather than the private control of any single party. In short, Clause 3 is a mature, practical and principled reform that directly honours Professor Madhuku’s wise 2020 counsel. As such, it deserves the full support of every well-meaning Zimbabwean who values good governance, democratic constitutionalism, institutional integrity and the long-term strength of the country’s democracy in the national interest!

Mamdani on Arch/Ballroom/Club Rose Garden: My message would be that this is not what government has to be. This is not the only vision for what it looks like to have politics in this country—that is so divorced from the needs and wants of everyday people. And what we are looking to show in New York City is an alternative to what has led so many to become disenchanted with the political process. We want to show that not only can government work, but it must, and that at its core, our responsibility is to working people—to ensure that we’re doing everything to make their lives easier. That has to be what drives our actions, and for too long, government has felt more like a distraction than a fulfillment of the needs of the people who’ve been left behind by the politics of today.

For thirty years the people of this country have been repeatedly told that experts are the answer to any problem. Need to build more housing? Need to invest in infrastructure? Need to manage the currency? Don’t worry! An expert committee will be formed! And yet the record of governance by experts in that time is appalling. Can you think of a part of the state that functions better under these people? Perhaps the truth that our political class fails to grasp is this: running a country is not a matter for specialist expertise, it is a political exercise. Decisions must be made that balance and sometimes override competing stakeholders, not constantly embolden them. The terrifying truth about our obsession with expertise is that it has nothing to do with the experts at all. It’s about politicians who wish to shirk the responsibility of actually governing. Fine. If they don’t want to do it. We’ll find people who will. #DavidStarkey #UKPolitics #PoliticalLeadership #Governance #BritishPolitics #PoliticalAccountability #PublicPolicy

🚨 Rutgers professor and DSA member Eric Blanc kicks off a discussion with Jacobin's founding editor Bhaskar Sunkara and Labor Power Publications' Ramy Khalil by declaring that the Left “needs” a socialist presidential candidate in 2028. Blanc says that candidate could be AOC or “somebody else” and predicts that planting a clear socialist flag could help DSA grow to as many as 500,000 members, rooted in a stronger labor movement. Sunkara says AOC could fill the role, but only if she maintains “distance and confrontation” with the Democratic Party and presents herself as an outsider. Otherwise, he argues, the Left may be better off with a labor-aligned outsider who has a less developed socialist program but is not perceived as part of the political class. Khalil, identifying himself as a Marxist, says elections are not the primary way to change society. “Social movements and revolutions” are. Still, he argues that a presidential campaign could spread socialist ideas to millions. The question of who will carry the socialist banner in 2028, and whether AOC can still fill that role, is quickly becoming one of the most heated debates on the American left.

We need help.” Watch the full interview:

For years, some people have been pushing the same narrative: Tinubu is unpopular, Nigerians are tired of him, and he cannot win re-election. But if that is truly the reality, why is it that when people have to put their money where their mouth is, many still see Tinubu as the most likely person to win? The problem is that many people mistake social media for Nigeria. They think retweets are votes, hashtags are political structures, and online noise is the same as electoral strength. While some spend their time creating trends and living inside an online echo chamber, politics is still being played on the ground. Alliances are being built, political structures are being strengthened, and supporters are mobilizing across communities. You may not like Tinubu's policies. You may believe some of his reforms have caused hardship. That is your right. But pretending those policies do not exist or have no political value is simply being dishonest. Economic reforms, infrastructure projects, student loans, increased revenue to states, local government autonomy, and other government initiatives are all part of the conversation that will shape the next election. The truth is simple: elections are not won on social media. They are won at polling units. Many people confidently declare online that Tinubu cannot win another term. Yet when it comes to making serious political predictions, staking resources, or placing bets, they often act as if his victory is the most likely outcome. That says a lot. The noise is for social media. The real confidence is revealed by where people put their money. Those who keep insisting that Tinubu cannot win should be careful not to become victims of their own propaganda. There is nothing more shocking than spending years convincing yourself that something is impossible, only to watch it happen before your eyes. If Tinubu wins another term, the biggest surprise will not be to his supporters. It will be to those who mistook online applause for political reality and forgot that Nigeria exists far beyond social media. #OvalOffice #SeyiTinubu

Delusional? When Religion Is Mocked for Politics The recent remarks made by the U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth Pete Hegseth are deeply inflammatory and deserving of serious criticism. While addressing Iran’s nuclear issue, he referred to Islamic prophecies as “delusional.” Such language is not only disrespectful to millions of Muslims worldwide, but it also dangerously shifts what is presented as a political and strategic matter into the realm of religious confrontation. If the U.S. position toward Iran is truly grounded in national security and geopolitical considerations, then invoking and mocking religious beliefs undermines that claim. Introducing theology into a political conflict exposes bias and damages credibility. It sends a troubling signal that the issue is not purely strategic, but ideologically charged. Now compare it with the statement of US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee few weeks ago when in an interview with Tucker Carlson , he expressed that Israel has a divine right to whole of Middle east from the Nile river in Egypt to Euphrates in Iraq, and "it would be fine if they take it all" as it has been promised in Genesis 15 to the descendants of Abraham. One must ask: if someone were to describe those biblical prophecies as “delusional,” would that not immediately be condemned as offensive or even antisemitic? Respect for faith cannot be selective. Even while defining "delusion" in terms of psychiatry, they exclude religious beliefs. Transforming a geopolitical conflict into a theological or ideological struggle is reckless and dangerous. It deepens divisions, fuels resentment, and risks escalating tensions far beyond diplomatic or strategic boundaries. Political disputes must remain political; once they are framed as religious battles, the consequences become far more volatile. Such statements deserve clear condemnation from Muslim leaders and from all those who believe in equal respect for religious traditions. Making a political war theological and ideological is dangerous and it shows how the 350 million Americans have been told a lie that it is a war for their security. --------------------------------------------------- Ryan Grim Mehdi Hasan Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani Murtaza Hussain Moeed Pirzada

🚨 DSA Elevates Organizer Training Young Socialists to Infiltrate Workplaces and Radicalize Unions James Hernández and Mae Bracelin, both Bread & Roses–backed labor organizers, have won election as YDSA co-chairs and will now sit on DSA’s National Political Committee. Hernández, an organizer with Florida International University YDSA, says young people are “downwardly mobile” and should commit themselves to class struggle by taking jobs in strategically important sectors such as health care, education, and Amazon. She says 400 YDSA members have already committed to “industrializing.” Organizers are developing cohorts to politically educate them, prepare them to enter the workforce, and help YDSA chapters identify major employers to “salt collectively.” Salting means deliberately taking a job at a targeted workplace to organize it from within. (See the thread below for more on this!) Hernández wants these young socialists to make unions more “militant” and turn organized labor into a vehicle for YDSA and DSA’s broader political agenda. Employers are already wary of recent graduates importing campus activism into the workplace. YDSA is now organizing a pipeline to do exactly that.

🚨🇷🇺⚠️ Putin is reportedly relying more than ever on Russia's security apparatus to stay in power. Growing influence within the FSB is said to be fueling unease among members of Russia's political and economic elite. According to Bloomberg, President Vladimir Putin is increasingly depending on the Federal Security Service (FSB), while a growing number of senior Russian officials fear the agency's influence is becoming difficult to control. The report states that officials such as Sergei Kiriyenko, who oversees Russia's domestic political affairs, are gradually losing influence as Putin gives greater weight to hardline figures from the security establishment rather than more moderate advisers focused on economic policy. Bloomberg also reports that the Kremlin's campaign of repression is expanding beyond politics, increasingly targeting business leaders, scientists, and figures from the cultural sector. Among those affected are physicists, actors, and prominent businessmen. At the same time, the report says public support for the war has fallen to its lowest recorded level, while Russia's political and economic elite are becoming increasingly concerned that the current system is struggling to cope with mounting internal and external challenges. The assessment points to a Kremlin that is relying ever more heavily on its security services as pressure mounts both within Russia's ruling establishment and across society.

🚨 PAKISTAN FOR ZOHRAN MAMDANI 🇵🇰 THE PAKISTANIFICATION OF AMERICA RAGES ON The Pakistani political machine is mobilizing - not in Karachi, but in Brooklyn. This week, the Pakistani community flooded New York to once again back Zohran Mamdani, the radical Muslim Socialist Assemblyman now running for mayor - and he wasted no time weaponizing victimhood. On stage, Mamdani invoked 9/11 to push the narrative that Muslims were the “real victims,” painting his campaign as a crusade against “Islamophobia.” But this isn’t about “civil rights.” It’s about power. 📢 Behind him stood the American Pakistani Advocacy Group — the same network organizing voters along ethnic and religious lines, echoing calls from Pakistan’s own political elite to “infiltrate and influence” U.S. government institutions. These rallies aren’t community events - they’re foreign-aligned mobilizations masquerading as local politics. 🇵🇰 Just months ago, Pakistan’s former president Arif Alvi toured U.S. mosques demanding allegiance: “Your country needs you. Pakistan Zindabad!” He wasn’t talking about America. From Texas to New York, the pattern is clear: Pakistani political blocs are expanding under the banner of “representation.” Radical Pakistani-linked clerics, operating from tax-exempt U.S. mosques, and Islamic terror-affiliated groups granted 501(c)(3) status, are now building open lobbying arms — the ideological engineers of America’s silent Islamization. And candidates like Mamdani are the front-men for a much larger agenda - Islamic political colonization through the ballot box. 🗽 This is not assimilation. It’s Pakistanification. America is being turned into a patchwork of imported political loyalties - mosque by mosque, city by city, office by office. It’s time to call it what it is - an ideological invasion disguised as “diversity.” From New York to Texas, they’re seizing control of America’s political, cultural, and religious infrastructure, one office, one mosque, one “advocacy group” at a time. And while it happens in plain sight, Washington still pretends Pakistan is our ally. It’s not. It’s the launchpad of jihad, corruption, and global Islamist expansion. Wake up, America. The Pakistanification of our nation isn’t coming - it’s already here. 🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰

🚨 IT’S OFFICIAL: Socialist Melat Kiros has UNSEATED 15-term incumbent Rep. Diana DeGette in Colorado, and this is another massive warning sign for anyone still pretending the Democrat Party is not being swallowed by the far-left. This is not normal generational change. This is a full ideological takeover happening in real time. The old Democrat establishment is getting pushed out by candidates openly tied to socialist politics, DSA-style movements, anti-capitalist rhetoric, and the same radical agenda that keeps spreading through deep-blue cities and safe Democrat districts. They call it “democratic socialism” because it sounds softer, cleaner, and easier to sell to young voters, but the direction is obvious: more government control, more class warfare, more anti-America ideology, more hostility toward law enforcement, borders, Israel, free enterprise, and everything that built this country. This is no longer JFK’s Democrat Party. This is not even Bill Clinton’s Democrat Party. Communism is rising inside the Democrat Party under a friendlier label, and Republicans better stop treating it like a normal policy debate. It is time for a political war against communism in America before the far-left takes over even more of Congress. 🇺🇸🔥
