DSA

Within and without?

A great red hope in NYC’s mayoral race

by BC Hamilton

BC Hamilton explains that Zohran Mamdani’s bid for mayor represents the ongoing battle and committed political tactics of the DSA’s inside-out approach. This is the playbook that Sanders, Ocasio-Cortez, and Mamdani have stuck with: democratic socialists who run as Democrats and, when they win, continue to operate within the Democratic Party, forming a left wing inside of whatever body they happen to join, be it in the United States Congress or New York’s 150-person Assembly.

by Giselle Gerolami, Ron Lare, and Peter Solenberger

The window for revolutionaries in the DSA is still open, if “open” means the opportunity to work with other socialists in the unions and movements, to win a layer of activists to revolutionary politics, and to advance the projects of left and revolutionary regroupment, argue Tempest members Giselle Gerolami, Ron Lare, and Peter Solenberger.
