The party question in DSA

The Democratic Socialists of America has grown to almost 100,000 members, raising crucial questions about what kind of organization is needed in the United States to fight for socialism. Should socialists run on the Democratic Party ballot line or do we need our own, independent party? If an independent party, how do we build that, and what should be the balance between elections and working in social movements?

Join us for a debate between socialists with different views about these questions.
