Imagine taking a day off from work in a future without capitalism.

Fox News, The Washington Times, Manhattan Institute, and Sinclair broadcasting have all covered DSA's new program: Workers Deserve More. But have you read it?

DSA's new political program for 2026 includes a forward looking statement, A Day Without Capitalism, a current asessment of the political terrain in 2026, and the organizations new political planks:

  • Thriving Working Class Communities featuring the Freedom to Flourish; Feminism, Healthcare, Housing for All; Finishing Reconstruction; Ending Mass Incarceration; and a Green New Deal
  • Working Class Foreign Policy by ending the US War Machine; fighting for a Free Palestine; and abolishing & prosecuting ICE
  • Working Class Democracy featuring Proportional representation; expanding voting rights; ranked choice voting; abolishing the electoral college and replacing the President and SCOTUS; along with fighting democratic unions for all

What's notable for me in this is the organization will now require elected DSA members to embrace and uphold the party's new program while in office. Kentucky State House Rep. Robert LeVertis Bell outlined how he plans to use Workers Deserve More as his guide while in office for policies to fight for on DSA's Workers Deserve More launch call

Check out the program at https://program.dsausa.org/ And watch the full Workers Deserve More launch call here

It’s been said that it’s easier to imagine the end of the world than it is to imagine the end of capitalism. But just because it isn’t easy to imagine now doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to make it happen.

Workers deserve more.

I thought almost all of North Star self purged 2023,

Interesting to see some still show up to meetings!

What do you mean by “North Star?” Like an allusion to the Underground Railroad and those seeking freedom?

I fucking wish. They were the predominant tendency (iirc) in pre 2016 DSA and mostly self expelled, becoming like a group of 10 old people in the org, since they didn't like the fact DSA was moving away from Zionism and put out a Palestine solidarity statement right after Oct 7

Did they all join Indivisible or something like that?

No fuckin clue tbh. I'm just aware of the rump formation in DSA that gets (rightfully) bullied and are constantly the butt of jokes

These were usually old asl white dudes (let 1000 sanders bloom or sum shit) so they probably just bullshit in mailing lists or something.
