A bunch of millennials in Iowa with no concept of reality professes the virtues of Marxism and Lenin, and you count this as a victory? Maybe you should actually read your own link:

“You don’t have to understand theory to understand Marxism,” as Schoonover, the Central Iowa co-chair, put it to me later in an interview. “You know that your boss takes advantage of you, that your landlord takes advantage of you. You know that you’re in debt, you know that you pay too much for health care. You don’t need to sit around and talk with a bunch of snobs about that to understand it.”

“There’s actually a really great quote by Lenin that says, ‘You have to be as extreme as the reality you confront,’” Casey Erixon, a 27-year-old DSA member, said one night at a bar on Ingersoll Avenue in Des Moines.

Yea, those are well-founded individuals with a real answer, right? Hardly. They're kind enough to sum up with their "mission statement", and it reveals all: They're just another flock of typical Dims who think the world owes them a living. They're not pro-anything, their foundation is purely TDS drivel:

“We are facing, as a city and as a state and country, systemic problems that require solutions all across the board,” Rob Shaw told the Iowa City chapter members before they embarked on their door-knocking mission. “The only way we’re going to do that is if we actually organize a base that can respond to more than one problem.”

“What do these problems stem from?” asked Alex Loehrer, the co-chair, from across the table. “Do you want to say it for the record?”

“Fuck capitalism,” Shaw replied with a smile. The chapter members cheered.

Yep!
If we go down the path of the far left radicals, you can guarantee that we will become a nation of the 1% and poor with no middle class.

U.S. unemployment averaged a rate of 18 percent during Roosevelt’s first eight years in office. In the decade of the 1930s, U.S. industrial production and national income fell by about almost one-third. In 1940, after year eight years of the New Deal, unemployment was still averaged 14 percent.

The unemployment rate was more than twice as high eight years into the New Deal than it is today,

Almost everything FDR did to jump-start growth retarded it, just like Obama's administration did.

No, it doesn't. It gives control of the economy to the same politicians who are selling us out to the oligarchy. How do you think that will work out?

they may hate democratic socialism because it enriches the poor, but they love corporate socialism which benefits Trump and his overlords on wall street
