Socialists on track for good showing in midterms. Kavanaugh’s nomination must be stopped. And news from DSA and socialists around the world.
Introducing The Call Radio
We’re launching a new feature — The Call Radio — to popularize important speeches and lectures on Marxist politics and strategy.
What is Democratic Socialism?
Democratic socialists believe that we can create a more just, egalitarian, and democratic society. But first we have to unite the working class in a broad movement that uses elections, workplace organizing, and mass mobilizations to break the power of the capitalist class.
Allende and Democratic Socialism
It has been forty five years since a coup d’etat crushed Chile’s socialist experiment. We remember the initial victory of Salvador Allende and his Popular Unity coalition as an important part of the democratic socialist tradition.
Class Politics and the Fight Against Oppression
The working class and workplace organizing are at the center of our strategy because they are the key to winning struggles against both exploitation and oppression.
For a Democratic and Effective DSA
What will it take to build a truly democratic but powerful socialist organization? Assume good intentions. Use direct decision-making for key votes, but trust elected leadership to make decisions between general meetings. Don’t weaponize democracy. And build power first, utopia second.
Race, Class, and Socialist Strategy
Socialists can and must combine the struggles against class exploitation and social oppression.
National Rituals and Socialist Politics
Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — and all socialists — should refuse to have anything to do with the public praise of warmongers like John McCain.
The Case for Bernie 2020
The 2020 presidential campaign begins sooner than people realize. This is the case for why DSA should back Bernie Sanders again.
Building Momentum
The Call is a publication founded to advance the political outlook first articulated by the Momentum slate at the 2017 DSA National Convention. We’re reprinting the platform here.
