"So how do we reconcile? The best strategy is to throw ourselves into mass work and launch real campaigns at the national level that will bring in masses and temper cadre through practice."

"This is reminiscent in many ways of the New Left in the late ‘60s or the big-tent anti-war movement under Bush: socialism as an ideology becomes subsumed to a single, deeply moral cause."
November 11, 2025 at 12:38 AM
"Without a clear way to engage in politics through elections or within the labor movement, it’s very easy to conclude that the only moral option is a hardline protest strategy."

"In many (though not all) smaller chapters (and some larger chapters), DSA is what the German New Left referred to as the Extra-Parliamentary Opposition: a street protest movement, or a student anti-war movement in the vein of much of the American New Left."
November 11, 2025 at 12:38 AM
"In many large chapters, DSA is a party, right now, or a party surrogate, and functions as either the primary opposition bloc or, in New York City, as something more. "

"DSA exists essentially as two parallel organizations in terms of practice, based on the political terrain each chapter contends with."

Why is DSA Divided? In the New Liberator, Groundwork member Ben Davis argues that DSA's ideological splits reflect our divided political terrain, responding to Tom Goodkind's analysis of the 2025 DSA Convention: “Can We Meet the Moment?”
