+++Today is chemo so this may be the only post you see from me today sorry but I usually feel like crap afterwards++++
With the progress that the DSA is making in elections we are hearing the title almost daily….The Right is a fevered pitch trying to ward off any advancement of the progressives by resurrecting the old lame ass “Red Scare”
What bullshit!
As the mid term vote nears and the looming general in 2028 the propaganda machine that hides under the guise of media outlets is staring the lies and misinformation about the danger of those damn Marxists….
Keep in mind that the source of this article is a Far Right propaganda that feeds an unsuspecting public with the lies and misinformation.
America faces a Marxist pincer movement the likes of which hasn’t been seen since the Soviet Union sent tanks rolling across Hungary and Czechoslovakia in the ‘50s and ‘60s. This time, it’s not from a military intent on crushing liberty, but an insidious threat to our way of life nonetheless.
On one side, we have American communists plotting street mayhem in Havana, calling for a mass U.S. uprising from the capital of militant world communism, while Cuban communists provide them backup by meeting with Americans on U.S. soil to instruct them on how to lobby Congress.
The Marxist threat to America has two fronts. Both are advancing
This group and its media propagandists will do and say whatever they can to discourage Americans from learning anything about this group (DSA)….but I can help….
There isn’t one universal definition of democratic socialism. According to the website of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), democratic socialists view capitalism as “a system designed by the owning class to exploit the rest of us for their own profit” and want to “replace it with democratic socialism, a system where ordinary people have a real voice in our workplaces, neighborhoods, and society.”
“What we want to do is extend democracy to our workplace and our housing and society at large, sort of deciding the ways our cities run, our jobs run, our housing runs, as opposed to right now, we think we’re in sort of a dictatorship of capital—the big corporations kind of make the decisions about everything, really,” says Megan Romer, the co-chair of the DSA.
Democratic socialism in the U.S., Farinella says, is not the socialism seen in the former Soviet Union, which was an autocratic system that eliminated capitalism by putting all major industries under centralized government control. Democratic socialists don’t want large corporations to be controlled by the government, and don’t want an autocracy; rather, they want to place the power of decision-making in the hands of the people through a democratic process.
Farinella says that democratic socialism also isn’t the kind of social democracy seen in Scandinavian countries, which reject authoritarianism and, in his words, “combine free market capitalism with high taxes” to fund social programs such as health care and education. Democratic socialists, meanwhile, don’t support capitalism (though some self-described democratic socialists have suggested that it is possible for democratic socialism and capitalism to exist together).
Democratic socialism “resides perhaps in the middle of the spectrum,” Farinella says.
“The democratic socialists in the United States want to shift political and economic power away from corporations and ultimately move beyond a capitalistic system, which they view as inherently unfair and exploitive,” he says. “They want to replace capitalism with an economy driven by social need rather than by profit motive, and they want to do this with workers and ordinary citizens making decisions about how to deploy resources—not having government make the decisions about how to deploy resources.”
“They want to do it all through democratic processes and institutions,” he adds.

These people are NOT communists! The key to their electoral strategy is the last line of the quote…..”They want to do it all through democratic processes and institutions”….that means they want the people to have the voice in the elections.
This is what democracy looks like not the warped BS that Donny presents as such.
