Barack Obama's Relationship To The DSA
The New Zeal blog has 19 links to articles it has produced about Barack Obama's long term association with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).
Snip:
So what you say -- they're "democratic" aren't they? They're only "socialists, not communists or militant radicals?
Some facts:
Obama has close personal and political ties to several DSA members including Quentin Young, Timuel Black, the late Rabbi Arnold Jacob Wolf, the late Saul Mendelson, Lou Pardo, Congressman Danny Davis and DSA honorees Jackie Grimshaw, Jackie Kendall and Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky.
DSA's several thousand strong membership has grown increasingly militant over the years until the point its policies are almost indistinguishable from those of the Communist Party USA. In an article in DSA's Democratic Left, Spring 2007, DSA National Political Committee member David Green wrote;
Our goal as socialists is to abolish private ownership of the means of production. Our immediate task is to limit the capitalist class’s prerogatives in the workplace...
In the short run we must at least minimize the degree of exploitation of workers by capitalists. We can accomplish this by promoting full employment policies, passing local living wage laws, but most of all by increasing the union movement’s power...
The DSA has some cross membership with the Communist Party and considerable cross-membership with the the equally militant Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism.
