calls for lifting sanctions on Syria from the DSA-IC are hollow and useless and disgusting without the acknowledgment of both the fact that the regime is politicizing aid and the fact that Assad is actively blocking aid from flowing into opposition-controlled regions

A VERY good excerpt from Marx’s 1864 “Inaugural Address,” quoted in “Marx at the Margins,” in which Marx spotlights the *duty* of the global working class to take up an internationalist cause. Once again reminding us that close-minded, campist/isolationist leftism is unserious

Democratic socialism is "our north star — the goal we never lose sight of — both because every step we take in that direction makes things better for working-class people and because...capitalism."

Socialists stand for healthcare, education, housing, jobs, and peace for all people. These officials condemn Socialism because they're not interested in helping their working-class constituents - they are bought and paid for by the billionaire elite!

Fantastic speech. Big winner was the influence of progressive econ community. From consumer issues to tax, antitrust, labor & manufacturing. These are issues progressives made possible. They are being highlighted because they work and are good politics headed into 2024. Win-win.

Biden coming out on behalf of the working class: defense of unions, living wages, home care services.
The GOP will classify this as "socialism" since this is their main talking point for 2023.

I'll give Biden this: his message on offshoring and the impact of deindustrialization was rock solid. You can take that to any town in Pennsylvania gutted by plant closures and union job loss, and it'll resonate.

Biden cannily counters GOP heckling when he says some Rs want to cut Soc. Security. And he's pushing strong themes of economic populism: "Capitalism without competition is not capitalism. It is exploitation." Good work, .

Being a progressive reformer is hard work. You often end up isolated and ostracized. Your candidates often lose.
But what matters is that your ideas and policies win the long fight.
This is a *very* different, more progressive Democratic Party than it was even 10 years ago.
