Democratic Socialists of America.png

Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is the largest socialist organization in the U.S. It is one of two official U.S. affiliates of the Socialist International. It was formed in 1982 from a merger of the Michael Harrington-led Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee (DSOC) and the smaller New American Movement.

In 1997 DSA's goals by 2017 included: "A U.S. President from the Progressive Caucus, a 50 member socialist caucus in Congress, successful programs of the likes of universal health care, progressive taxation, social provision and campaign finance reform." But how would DSA achieve these goals? A 2001 article published in the Boston DSA's magazine discussed the DSA's "takeover" of the Democratic Party: "...By the early 1960s some within the Socialist Party (including future DSA leaders), adopting a variant of the CP’s strategy 25 years earlier, ...advanced the concept of “Realignment” in the Democratic Party; forging a coalition of labor, blacks and middle-class liberals and radicals to take over the Party..."

Prominent members of DSA have included Stanley Aronowitz; Ed Asner; Noam Chomsky; Barbara Ehrenreich; Frances Fox Piven; Gerry Hudson, SEIU VP; Eliseo Medina; Gloria Steinem; Quentin Young, as well as former U.S. Reps. David Bonior, Danny K. Davis, Ron Dellums and many more.
