Are the Democratic Socialists of America a Political Party, or a Seditious Communist Movement?

There is a very important constitutional issue that we must confront.

Of course, the topics du jour are the DSA members who ran for the Democratic Party nomination for Senate in Michigan, Governor in Wisconsin, and Congress in Missouri. The DSA says that it is a political party with 120,000 members, but one has to ask, if it is a political party, why are they running in Democratic Party primaries? Should the DSA not be just the same as the Libertarian Party or the Green Party, able to stand on its own? After all, you have Marxist donors like Neville Roy Singham who could, and do, fund their endeavors. Instead, the DSA has become a parasite that is infecting the Democratic Party, which has been trending towards Marxism anyway, and leveraging its resources, no matter how little remains.

However, recent revelations that DSA members met with Chinese Communist Party representatives in China and pledged allegiance to the CCP and its objectives are quite disconcerting. With that being the case, one would have to surmise that the DSA is not an American political party but rather a tool, an organization of “useful idiots,” doing exactly what Vladimir Lenin once suggested: using these dupes to infiltrate communism into the West. So, here we have an organization, the DSA, that is not addressing just political issues. They are advocating for the fundamental transformation of our Constitutional Republic and supporting our number-one geopolitical foe, China. Matter of fact, we just witnessed ChiCom leader Xi Jinping issue a directive to Chinese residing in other countries to advance the interests of “the motherland.”

There is a very important constitutional issue that we must confront. How do we treat the DSA and its candidates?

Does one truly believe that those associated with an organization that pledges allegiance to China should be elected representatives in our Constitutional Republic at any level? If DSA candidates despise America so very much, why not reside elsewhere, like China? If their objective is the eradication of Western civilization and America, what oath of office shall be administered to them? It is somewhat perplexing to me that intellectual elites are lecturing us about advocating for the working class. It is the same old tired communist rhetoric that has led to the mass killing of millions of people since its rise. And most recently, we all saw what Hugo Chavez did in Venezuela, turning one of the most prosperous nations in our hemisphere into a place where zoo animals were being killed for food due to a starving population. So much for those government-run grocery stores.

We can look at our major cities that have embraced these Marxists — New York City, Seattle, Chicago — and what do we see? Yes, incompetence at the highest levels and duplicitous hypocrisy masquerading as policy. Even worse, their “policy” platform is the antithesis of our Constitution and truthfully seeks to undermine, no, destroy our rule of law and our foundation.

No, I do not see the Democratic Socialists of America, and that means you, Bernie Sanders, as a political party. It is a subversive communist movement that, much as Islamism masquerades as a religion, operates within our boundaries in order to effectively destroy our nation. The sly whispers of Sanders, Mamdani, AOC, the Squad, and all the others are the same as Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Castro, Guevara, Chavez, Maduro. It is a sad reflection upon our once-venerable system of education, now indoctrination, that we are raising a generation of useful idiots.

Then again, it was Karl Marx in his Ten Planks who advocated for state control of education. Look what that has begotten.

Steadfast and Loyal.
