Does DSA Belong in the Democratic Party? Rahm Emanuel Draws a Hard Line

Does DSA belong in the Democratic coalition? Emanuel says no. DSA’s strategy, recent election wins and major policy differences reveal a more complicated picture.

@MLE_online A crucial part of #Capitalism #greed is the minimization of all production scales, to the least amount of work/production, to the greatest amount of profit.

This is why Capitalism is failing, because it enforces 'there's no such thing as too much'. Similarly, in Communism, there's no such thing as 'too little'.

#DemocraticSocialism applies a sustainable 'middle' range, where the extremes are justifiably minimized in normalized value ranges.

Unfortunately, children in early stages of development are brainwashed out of normative ranges, and into extremes of narrow mindsets, thereby being more pliable toward subjugated subservience, by their profit driven, crippled mindset adult abusers.

It's classic abuse of power, at its worst.

Beshear Rejects the Democratic Civil War: Make Room for DSA and Working-Class Politics

DSA victories are forcing a Democratic reckoning. Andy Beshear offers the smarter answer: welcome the left, debate policy, and unite around the economic pain families face.

Trump, Paxton, The Founders, And America’s Long Excuse For Powerful Men

Stop assuming corruption defeats MAGA. America’s history shows powerful men, from slaveholding founders to corporate-backed authoritarianism, get a pass unless people organize for accountability.

Forget the Socialist Scare: America’s Crisis Is Capitalism Without Democracy

Republicans and corporate Democrats attack DSA with socialist scare tactics while ignoring the oligarchic economy crushing workers and concentrating America’s wealth.

Angie Nixon illustrates that a DSA candidate is closer to Americans than Establishment Dems or Republicans.

Angie Nixon beat a $16 million opponent with organizing and economic populism. Her DSA affiliation matters less than the working-class policies voters recognize.

Over 1,000 Communist Rebels and Supporters in the Philippines Neutralized As of August 13

Over a thousand rebels of the New People’s Army (NPA) and their supporters were neutralized as of August 13, according to a news article of the Philippine News Agency (PNA) citing the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP). Neutralized refers to the surrender, capture, or killing of enemy troops.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news article of the PNA. Some parts in boldface…

The government’s campaign against communist insurgents is gaining momentum as the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) reported neutralizing 1,045 New People’s Army (NPA) rebels and their supporters during operations conducted from Jan. 1 to Aug. 13 this year.

Of the total, 935 surrendered, 38 were arrested, and 72 were killed in various military operations, AFP spokesperson Col. Francel Margareth Padilla said in a media interview late Tuesday.

“A total of 661 firearms and 255 anti-personnel mines were either seized or surrendered, and 38 encampments were seized (in the same period),” she said.

Neutralized is a military term that refers to the surrender, capture, or killing of enemy troops.

“The numbers give us an indication of the operational situation, but we should look beyond the numbers. The more significant story is that 935 CTG (communist terrorist group) members and supporters chose to surrender,” Padilla pointed out.

In 2025, the military said it neutralized around 2,018 NPA members and their supporters. The bulk of whom were surrenderers, at 1,798, while 93 were arrested and 127 were killed.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Are you thankful to the AFP for neutralizing over a thousand Communist rebels and supporters as of mid-August? Are you convinced that there are still many millions of young Filipinos who took sides with the Leftist rebels? Do you think Democrats and/or the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) from the United States are secretly supporting Communist rebels here in the Philippines?

"Mr. Thanedar was the latest pro-Israel Democrat to fall to a challenge from the left. This summer, Representatives #DianaDeGette of #Colorado, #DanGoldman of #NewYork and #AdrianoEspaillat of New York were all defeated by younger, more progressive challengers who were fueled by strong organization by the Democratic Socialists of America."

Congressman Is Ousted by #DemocraticSocialist in #Michigan House Primary

Representative #ShriThanedar is among a wave of Democratic incumbents in Congress whom primary voters have sent packing in a surge of anti-incumbent fervor this cycle.

By Bayliss Wagner, Aug. 5, 2026

"Democratic primary voters ousted Representative Shri Thanedar of Michigan on Tuesday, according to The Associated Press, nominating a democratic socialist for a deep-blue district in the latest sign of the party’s hunger for new blood.

"Mr. Thanedar narrowly lost to #DonavanMcKinney, a state representative, in the 13th Congressional District, which includes parts of #Detroit and its suburbs. The race was called on Wednesday morning.

"Both candidates are progressive and support policies like funding universal health care and abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement. But Mr. McKinney, 34, who is Black and grew up in Detroit, has contrasted his background with that of Mr. Thanedar, 71, an Indian immigrant who was elected to Congress in 2022. Mr. Thanedar’s victory that year left Detroit, a city that is roughly three-quarters Black, without a Black representative in Washington for the first time in decades.

"The primary also highlighted Democratic voters’ continued backlash against lawmakers who support Israel. Mr. McKinney has condemned the war in Gaza as a '#genocide' and campaigned with fellow #ProPalestinian Democrats, including Dr. #AbdulElSayed, the progressive candidate in Michigan’s marquee Senate race. Mr. Thanedar, in contrast, has consistently voted to fund aid for the Jewish state."

#DemocraticSocialism Is the Compromise Position

Given our scale of #inequality, the #egalitarian reforms of democratic socialism are only the start of what we should strive for.

Kyle Schmidlin, Jul 31, 2026

Excerpt: "Reforming the #SecondGildedAge

"Whether or not one agrees with such ideas, it’s a discussion that free people are within their rights to have. Though we often treat #capitalism as a national religion, there’s nothing sacred about it. Even the US Constitution is surprisingly agnostic on questions of economic organization. It’s not encoded in our DNA—in fact, we are much more naturally inclined toward cooperation than competition. Humans have a virtually infinite number of ways we can arrange society, and we are in desperate need of rethinking ours.

"Because for the last few decades, the American economy has grown ever more off-balance, to the point where many analysts now say we’re in a second #GildedAge. We recently minted the world’s first trillionaire, while about half of us would be wiped out by any major illness, accident, or job loss. Workers have lost power, essentials like housing and healthcare are increasingly out of reach, and practically all the gains of our productivity have been accumulated at the very top, with #corporations posting record profits. #Billionaires are multiplying their wealth faster than ever, building anti-revolution doomsday bunkers, and plotting to rule their own fiefdoms as #CEOKings.

"We live in a society that’s obsessed with law and order for things like #shoplifting or overstaying a visa, but largely looks the other way on #CorporateCrimes like #pollution, #WageTheft, and #fraud—not to mention #WarCrimes and #genocide. The president is a convicted felon who wants you to ignore his decades-long friendship with a child sex trafficker and instead fear and hate the immigrant next door.

"In such a system, elites should feel relieved that people are only demanding, say, a few public options for groceries, rather than revolting. The wealthy surely all took note of the public reaction to #LuigiMangione, who is accused of murdering United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson on the streets of New York City. Mangione became a cultural icon who was openly celebrated in many circles, making clear the rage simmering within America’s dispossessed.

"There’s a reason the progressive California Rep. #RoKhanna refers to a tax on wealth as an #AntiRevolution tax, or an attempt to save capitalism from itself. Progressive Democrats like Khanna often mediate between capitalist centers of power and the party’s left-wing base, who largely feel fed up with the party’s incremental approach of making small tweaks here and there. Democratic socialism, as practiced in today’s America, is still essentially incrementalism, but they’re much bigger increments.

"Such a model works well in places like #Finland, #Iceland, and #Denmark. These countries have high taxes, but they get far more out of them than we do. As a result they are consistently ranked as the happiest countries on Earth, with excellent numbers for education, homelessness, poverty, healthcare, life expectancy, and infant mortality—all areas in which the US, with its profit-first approach to every problem, is lagging behind.

"#HighTaxes and a mixed economy also once worked well in the #UnitedStates. We dug ourselves out of the #GreatDepression with the #NewDeal. Government programs brought electricity to rural areas and established safety nets and Social Security. Our middle class boomed after World War II, when taxes were the highest they’ve ever been.

"#Republicans and #BigBusiness called that #socialism, too. They even conspired to overthrow President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Now, faced with another socialist menace, they’re playing just as dirty."

@Erdrandbewohner @inkorrupt @ubo Ein wirklich interessanter Ansatz in dieser Richtung sind die israelischen Kibbuzim als Versuch, einen demokratischen, im bewusstem Gegensatz zur UdSSR nicht-totalitären #Kommunismus zu ermöglichen. Nach jahrzehntelanger Krise scheint es ein Revival zu geben; insbesondere #Bernie #Sanders ist offenkundig stark durch seine Zeit in Sha'ar HaAmakim geprägt.
