The Democratic Socialists of America are having a moment. In fact, they’re having a season. DSA candidates are winning nationwide in Democratic Party primaries, knocking off incumbents while running on some of the most deformed and deranged platforms in recent political memory. Zohran Mamdani, the charismatic young socialist in Gracie Mansion, is the new leader of the DSA pack. Terrifying as it may be, Zo may be the closest thing the entire activist left has these days to a kingmaker.
While we’ve previously covered that the voting bloc driving the socialist surge in places like New York City is largely made up of wealthy, white, college-educated voters, statistician Nate Silver has narrowed that group down even further.
In a new analysis, Silver found that voters most likely to be sympathetic to Democratic Socialists of America-backed candidates are highly educated and have relatively low incomes. In other words, the sweet spot is not just college-educated voters, but college-educated voters who have managed to pair credentialed grievance with economic disappointment.
Adolf Hitler was something of a piker compared to Mao, the greatest mass murderer in mankind’s history. It’s impossible to measure the misery, destitution, and death inflicted by the communist dictator. Was it 20, 30, 40 million dead? We don’t really know.
For the sake of moral clarity, however, let’s concede that celebrating Mao is as grotesque as celebrating Hitler. No decent human being would do it. No decent society would normalize it.
Linda Sarsour, a radical Islamic activist who works with the benign-sounding but terrorist supporting Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), wants to dispense with the Declaration of Independence — arguably the grandest and most important document ever conceived and written by human beings — and replace it with one based on her values and principles.
Because, of course she does, she’s a card-carrying member of the Democratic Socialists of America, a misnomer on the order of the People’s Republic of China.
As the Organized Crime Democrats belatedly recognize that they are in danger of being supplanted by communists, their advocates in Pravda are starting to fight back hard.
I have a hard time seeing how that is going to help the Democratic Party escape the stink of extremism that emanates from their activists, like BO dominates the streets of Paris in August
So ends the most boring coup in British political history. Andy Burnham is our new prime minister, Keir Starmer’s leaving van is on its way to north London, and we’re all left wondering whether this latest round of musical chairs will make the blindest bit of difference.
Hopefully this dolt will be gone soon.
How did you spend America’s 250th birthday? New York’s socialist mayor, Zohran Mamdani, spent it lecturing America about racism and xenophobia while his wife attended an Islamic “spiritual wellness” retreat.
It was another reminder of the ugly rise of socialism in America.
Last Tuesday, Canadian author, documentarian and activist Naomi Klein admitted on Bluesky that she “truly f—ked up” for not doing her “due diligence” on Graham Platner, who recently won the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination in Maine, before she praised him as an “ extraordinary political communicator ” in March.
Klein’s apology followed last Monday’s publication of Politico’s interview with Jenny Racicot, a 41-year-old woman who accused Platner of forcing her to have sex with him five years ago, after she objected.
But last Monday wasn’t the first time Platner’s sexual impropriety made the news.
The midnight arrest of Venezuelan Socialist dictator and drug kingpin Nicolás Maduro by U.S. Special Forces last Jan. 3 was supposed to open the way for a transition to political and economic normality in Venezuela. His vice-president, Delcy Rodriguez, would work closely with the Trump administration towards holding new elections, restoring legal guarantees, and disconnecting the regime from drug cartels, Cuba, China, Russia, and Iran.

How worried should Democrats be about the Democratic Socialists of America? In the wake of a series of DSA victories in New York City, Jonathan Chait raised the alarm in The Atlantic, writing that as the group has risen in power, it has also grown “more hostile to the [Democratic] party, more illiberal, and more dogmatic.” Long-time DSA members, including former staff member and thought leader David Duhalde and socialist magazine publisher Nathan J. Robinson, pushed back, dismissing Chait as someone who doesn’t know or understand the DSA.
35 years after the fall of the USSR the first official Communist DSA member, who admired Stalin, will likely be headed to Congress for the next term, in defiance of the Constitution’s 14th Amendment and the Communist Control Act. But who is out there voting for Communists?
Despite the countless millions dead at the hands of the Communist regimes, a significant portion of the electorate has a positive view of Communism as a political movement.
It seems unwise to dismiss the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and their candidates. They have made it very clear they intend to dismantle not only America, but Western civilization, and they’re spelling out exactly how they plan to do it.
Socialist political leaders have recently made substantial gains in the American political system, especially in urban areas and cities like New York, Seattle, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Burlington (Vermont), South Fulton (Georgia), Cheektowoga (New York), Richmond (California), Allegheny County (Pennsylvania), and in congressional districts in New York, Colorado, and elsewhere following in the footsteps of New York congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, who some speculate will run for the White House in 2028.
Aweek before the 250th anniversary of America declaring independence, more than 1,000 people assembled at the nation’s capital to make a declaration of their own: their vision to dismantle America’s founding institutions. “All of US Next250 National Mobilization” protested the Trump administration, debuted new “founding documents,” and re-envisioned America as seen by Marxist revolutionaries.
“It’s not just a day, it’s a movement, and it’s been three years in the making,” Saru Jayarman, a co-organizer of Next250, told The Federalist. “This is the time to set the tone for what the next 250 years will be.”
Roger Kimball wrote, “Why socialism will fail,” a pretty nifty if overly intellectualized piece that encapsulates the common smug capitalist prediction of doom because “sooner or later you run out of other people’s money.”
Hahaha, right?
Really? Well, Congress ran out of other people’s money in the 1980s. We have a national debt approaching $40 trillion—$40 million million. Maybe we’re the socialists but we just won’t admit it.
