Many DSA leaders explicitly define themselves as Marxist and advocate its ideals
President Donald Trump has been warning that a new crop of political candidates that recently have won Democrat primaries, sometimes booting party personalities who have been in their congressional seats for decades, are actually “hardcore Godless communists.”
Of course, the media “corrected” him, with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins insisting, “While Democrats themselves have been wrestling with what Tuesday night means for the direction of their party, socialism, much less democratic socialism, is not communism.”
But if you believe those Democratic Socialists of America members’ own statements, they explicitly call themselves Marxist and push communism.
