It did not happen last night folks. It took them another 15 years after they installed Obama to become the legitimate heirs to the political party formerly known as Democrats.
The progressive movement is now branded as “Democrat Socialists of America” (DSA), but those who have followed the arc of this group well understand every single member within DSA is from the Occupy Wall Street / Anarchy movement that preceded it.
Fingers are being pointed toward New York as the epicenter of the new Democrat Party Headquarters of DSA, which is a fitting location of focus given the OWS origin.
The front line of the DSA movement consists of 18 to 30-year-olds, mostly white, urban, upper-middle-income activists, carrying Macbooks with anarchist stickers and physical attire resembling a blend of hipster ‘grunge’ and skateboard beanie resistance. They don’t shower much and love to talk about AOC and Bernie on Social Media.
Don’t belittle them, they are authentic. They don’t misunderstand things; they bought into the nonsense and genuinely believe the popular narrative sold to them since High School that capitalism is horrible and Communism or Socialism is the preferred system of government.
Individually, not one of them would shed a tear if their collective comrades broke into their parent’s houses tomorrow and murdered the elders. When joined in group assemblies, their emotions are controlled by the sensibility of the group. This is the Mao generation, repeating and rhyming.
IDEOLOGY: Capitalism is bad. Law enforcement are pigs. Policy should support emotions. The collective should rule every decision.
Democrat socialists believe all dissent must be squashed unless they actually lose a popular election – then, the system is oppressing them. Speech that argues against their belief system is ‘violence’. However, violence that supports their belief system is ‘speech’.
Democrat Socialists of America are factually Occupy Wall Street activists. The traditional mechanisms of self-controlling morality do not apply to this group of generational ideologues. The haves -vs- have nots is their religion. They never cede power and elections do not remove them. Go look at history, the only thing that has ever stopped Socialism is physical violence.
You may have read the stories of multi-billionaires building bunkers. The predictable DSA is why.
People who say, “violence is not the answer” are pretending they don’t know history.
POLITICO – […] Fresh off sweeping victories across New York City that showcased the growing power of the anti-establishment progressive left inside the Democratic Party, Democratic Socialists of America leaders, eager to capitalize on their momentum, are already plotting their next act: making sure one of their own is on the presidential primary debate stage, whether the party wants them or not.
“What DSA represents is a real contrast to Democrats who have run the last couple of elections on fear,” DSA national co-chair Megan Romer said. “You can’t run on that. You have to offer an alternative. And it’s really important that we be involved in that conversation in 2028. It’s important that we have somebody saying sensible things.”
Their search process is already underway. This summer, DSA is dispatching surveys to all 250 of its chapters, asking members to weigh who they want to back and why, and return their findings to national leadership by Sept. 15, details the group first shared with POLITICO. DSA expects to receive a stack of 20-page to 40-page dossiers from chapters coast to coast weighing in on who should carry the democratic socialist banner into 2028.
The organization plans to hold national discussions, including with leaders like New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who is 84 and not expected to run in 2028, with a formal vote expected at the group’s 2027 convention next year — though leaders say they could move faster if the primary timeline demands it.
“We’re going to be talking about millions of hours knocking doors for 2028 — so when we decide to really run somebody, people have to feel like they had a say,” Romer said.
Mamdani-backed candidates swept three closely watched New York congressional primaries Tuesday, with Claire Valdez, Brad Lander and Darializa Avila Chevalier all defeating more establishment-aligned rivals — including two incumbents. It was a major show of force for Mamdani’s political operation, and fresh evidence of the left’s growing muscle heading into 2028. “They ask, ‘Who do you want to run in 2028?’ Then they ask, ‘When does the race for 2028 begin?’ It starts now. It starts on Tuesday,” Mamdani said at a Brooklyn rally last week.
The elephant in the room for the group, of course, is Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. (read more)
I don’t mean to be picky, but as the photo at the end of the report above clearly shows, these people style themselves as the Democratic Socialists of America Party. Very much like the NSDAP of old. On the other hand, lets all call the Hakeem Jeffreys bunch the Democrat Party and reserve Democratic for the totally not democratic members of the DSAP. Remember that, in English, “Democrat” is both a noun and an adjective so the “ic” is not necessary.
CTH has done a fine job of illustrating the issue – what is the DSA?
The Chinese Cultural Revolution of the 1960’s had Chairman Mao and his little red book. 📕
These useful idiots are not averse to the tactics of Mao’s minions: struggle sessions – cancelling anyone who does not embrace their ideology wholeheartedly – and even physically erasing people – all for ‘the cause’.
They are brainwashed – and frightening.
Reasoned debate is anathema to them – just another form of ‘violence’.
They must be opposed.
Do the normal, sane people among us have the will to do so?
They intend to use violence, they have used violence, that is how all socialist take power. The link between socialism and fascism and communism is strong, so strong that they overlap and in most cases are the same thing. They will use violence against particular individuals soon to eliminate threats to their political agenda. Like the CEO of Unitedhealthcare other key targets will be eliminated. Both political and capitalist targets should beware. If I were Elon Mush I would double my bodyguards and limit my social activities. The far left are nuts, crazy, lunatic, but also sneaky and diabolic. It is going to get worse.
They are SDS, I was a member back in the day of my college youth and they are pure Marxists all the way…..and dangerous.
Spot on, Sundance. I wish it weren’t true, but I have firmly believed the Baby Boomers were susceptible to this kind of stupidity back when the Hippies were all the rage. It was stupid then, and it is a dangerously stupid mess now. But most of our esteemed scholars pushed for Communism and the Baby Boomers were the dupes. It isn’t that simple, but that is what I came to see was happening back then.
Mainstream Democrats have been at loose ends since Kamala lost, and many of them are ready to escalate, especially when they believe they are smarter and better people than MAGA and have an urgent moral duty to oppose us.
Last winter tens of thousands of people in Minneapolis came outdoors to participate an anti-ICE march, and that was the tip of the iceberg of ICE opposition here.
They are nothing more than a very dangerous clown show. They hate capitalism! How many of them even know what it or socialism is? Wealth is unfairly distributed…what does that even mean and it’s certain none of these mental midgets have a clue. How do they play on creating all of the wealth they plan on fairly distributing? Have then even considered that wealth has to be created before it can be distributed, or do they just believe it comes from their parent’s credit card? These people are so pathetic they would be funny if they weren’t so dangerous. They are FUBAR and will likely have to be put down at some point.
three faces of hate in action. Have you noticed how many times Mandami smiles? Trying to make his messaging more agreeable. NOT FALLING FOR IT!!!
One thing to consider when reflecting upon the political activity in New York City is that a large majority of the population has come here from outside the United States. They have not assimilated and are still reflecting their own cultures they’ve brought here. This is just one more contamination from our unbridled and illegal immigration.
Are these people being funded by the Dem party, or as I presume, George Soros?
Either way, they’re immature clowns bent on destruction of law and order and the United States, as flawed as we can be, but dear Lord, not communism. It has NEVER worked!
