This is Chicago DSA’s Sean Duffy explaining socialism without explaining virtually anything socialist about DSA. It’s the usual dodge from the DSA playbook. Frame corporations and billionaires as villains, blame Democrats for dismantling welfare and “decimating unions,” and avoid explaining the specifics of what DSA actually wants to build....

🚨 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.

🚨 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.

🚨 Hasan Piker and Chris Rabb Lay Out the DSA Playbook for Using the Democratic Ballot Line Against the Party This clip is a clean look at the socialist left’s bizarre frenemy relationship with the Democratic Party. Hasan opens by attacking Democrats directly. They “don’t love you,” “don’t care about you,” and “don’t care about your interests.” But he does not tell people to leave the party. He tells them the Democratic primary is the battlefield because it “determines the trajectory of the Democratic Party.” Then Chris Rabb picks up the thread. Rabb says he “identif[ies] as a democratic socialist,” but is “running as a Democrat because the system creates this narrowness.” In other words, the Democratic label is not the identity. It is the vehicle. Rabb makes that even clearer moments later. He says Democrats may share the same label “in this moment,” but “we are very different.” Then he tells voters, “You don’t have to love the Democratic Party to vote for me. I do not care because I’m not here for the party. I’m here for the people.” The result is a strange but increasingly effective hostile partnership. The DSA needs the Democratic ballot line because third-party politics is a dead end. The Democratic Party keeps absorbing candidates who openly reject it. And over time, that one-way arrangement lets the socialist left take more ground inside the party while still pretending to be outsiders. But what do Democrats actually get out of this arrangement?
