The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) are on the rise. They just triumphed in New York, and are sending Darializa Avila Chevalier and Claire Valdez, along with Brad Lander, a former DSA member, to Congress, where they will join DSA stars Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Ditzville) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Islamic Rage). Another DSA star, Zohran Mamdani, is mayor of New York City, and it is looking increasingly as if the DSA has done an Invasion of the Body Snatchers move on the Democrat Party, occupying its body and replacing its soul. The DSA is now the Democrat mainstream.
Amid all this success, you’d think that the DSA would be loudly and proudly proclaiming what it is all about, hoping to draw more suckers into the big top. But no. Instead, it looks as if the DSA has quietly deleted from its website some of the more incendiary and insane aspects of their program, and have done so just as those elements of their agenda were beginning to get widespread attention.
You’d almost get the idea that the DSA has something to hide, and knows that if the majority of Americans knew what it really plans to do if it ever gets the chance, they would reject it overwhelmingly. What? Socialists not being honest with the public? Inconceivable, right?
Yes, of course I’m being sarcastic. The superlative investigative journalist Stu Smith on June 17 published in City Journal a long expose of the DSA’s new platform. Smith revealed that “earlier this month, the Democratic Socialists of America’s top leadership met for an in-person meeting of their National Political Committee (NPC), the DSA’s governing authority. The result of the meeting was ‘Workers Deserve More!’, a rebooted platform for the organization featuring a host of radical proposals.”
The “Workers Deserve More!” document, as Smith describes it, a blueprint for nothing less than the destruction of the United States. “The document commits DSA to scrapping the U.S. Senate, ‘abolishing the carceral forces of the capitalist state,’ defunding the Department of War, amnesty for all immigrants, and ‘replac[ing] the President and Supreme Court with an executive and judiciary chosen by and subordinate to Congress.’”
Among the “carceral forces of the capitalist state” that would be abolished would be ICE and the police, so that criminals and terrorists would be streaming across the border and the American people would have no one to protect them. The idea of scrapping the Senate and making the executive and judiciary subject to Congress would be to place political power in the hands of the House, which the most populous (and far-left) areas of the country would control.
The “Workers Deserve More!” document also said that its goal was to “win the battle for democracy, draft a new constitution, and create a democratic socialist republic.” You know, like the German Democratic Republic (that was the official name of Communist East Germany, one of the most repressive regimes the world has ever known) and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea). In a series of X posts, Smith augmented his City Journal with more from the “Workers Deserve More!” platform, each bit more radical, and more destructive if implemented, than the last.
The “Workers Deserve More!” document is prominently displayed on the DSA’s website. Yet the quotes that Stu Smith included in his City Journal article are nowhere to be found. Neither are the long passages of which he posted screenshots at X. It looks as if the DSA, seeing Smith’s article, decided that the American people weren’t ready for the full, bracing dose of socialism that the “Workers Deserve More!” platform was offering, and so they sanitized it.

This is not surprising in the least. Old Joe Biden, after all, ridiculed the idea that he was a socialist during the 2020 campaign, only to allow those who were running his regime to take a decisively socialist and authoritarian course. Barack Obama likewise campaigned as a calm, moderate, centrist, only to become the most divisive, far-left president the nation had ever had up to the time he took office.
The DSA, as it grows in power and influence in the Democrat Party and the nation in general, knows how much Americans would hate it if they really knew what it was all about. And so down the memory hole go the most unpalatable aspects of their agenda.
No one should be fooled, however. If we are unfortunate enough to inaugurate a DSA president on Jan. 20, 2029, all the aspects of the DSA program that are currently being covered up will return in force, and be inflicted upon the American people. There is no doubt about that at all.
Editor’s Note: The Democrat Party has never been less popular as voters reject its socialist agenda.
