You mean the DSA? We are in a global phase of corporate immersion. All capitalist systems are now designed in alignment with corporate interests. This is in direct conflict with democratic ideals. Democracy is definitely losing. They can’t coexist. Any system within this environment will inevitably internalize the capitalist set of priorities, which include the disenfranchisement of certain populations to maximize profits, resource extraction regardless of social or environmental impacts, and the imposition of hierarchical power structures (police & military) to protect the wealthy from the inevitable and understandable hatred of the less privileged. The only escape from this hellzone is a radical socialism. Functional societies require decency as a fundamental reality. Above and beyond profiteering. First: feed, clothe, shelter, healthcare, educate. Then talk money (educate does NOT mean propagandize).
Powerful!
Thanks Kimi!

I’m in Canada so I’m not very familiar with the DSA. But I agree that democratic structures are being undermined by corporate power.
Great piece.
Thanks, Lee!
