This is their most recent platform, no joke

quote:

DSA's 2021 platform, its most recent, calls for abolishing the Electoral College, Senate, and filibuster; ending first-past-the-post in favor of proportional representation; raising the minimum wage; a job guarantee; Medicare for All; free child care for all; free college for all; public development banks; social housing; social ownership of major industry and infrastructure; a Green New Deal; a just transition for fossil fuel workers; abortion and fertility care on demand; anti-racism; reparations for slavery; abolishing police and prisons "in the long term"; abolishing ICE; anti-imperialism; withdrawal from NATO; normalizing relations with China, Venezuela, Cuba, and Iran; anti-Zionism; Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) on Israel; abolishing USAID, NED, and VOA; D.C. statehood; referenda on independence or statehood in Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and unincorporated US territories; and a second constitutional convention to establish a socialist republic.[27]

If only this theory could be tried, so it could be studied in depth before bringing it to America.

On paper who doesn't love free shite and guaranteed jobs.

Why do I need a job if everything is free?

The economics of this is ridiculous without cash flow. At some point in the production process payments to do business will have to be made.

These people think it'd be as easy as throwing a Church potluck where everyone has a job to make and bring a dish so that everyone can eat for free.

Most of it sounds loony. But a few of these sounded MAGA.

Over 100 years of examples …..but communism just hasn’t been done correctly yet.

Marxism appeals to and plays on the worst traits in humans: Envy, vengeance, laziness, entitlement, etc.

That’s probably why it will always stick around appealing to some even though it’s always proved a disaster wherever it gained a foothold.

America won’t prove the exception.

This is the example of a broken clock is correct twice a day.

Or

Even the blind squirrel finds a nut sometimes.

Or

Give a titans monkeys a Toscana years and a thousand typewriters and one of them will write war and peace.

Take your choice.

There have to be other examples of how the dsa managed to get one thing correct.

Add your examples so I learn new ways of saying it...

Every single communist deserves a free helicopter ride courtesy of the Pinochet Express.

So does Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Jamaal Bowman and Cori Bush.

It’s a club that includes some of the worst, most ignorant members of Congress.

Wonder if the N.Y.Times will send a reporter down to Miami to interview any Cuban Americans for their opinions?

The left’s job guarantee is basically “you will work to get your social safety net” said in a way that doesn’t offend their senses. Call work requirements a guarantee and all the sudden it is woke.

Good. Have you seen the DSA party convention? It's the saddest gaggle of fgts I've ever seen.
