Once upon a time, not too long ago, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was the darling of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). Now, the firebrand socialist finds herself in a bit of a pickle with DSA leadership, who have determined she isn’t radical enough for their liking.
On July 10, the DSA issued a press statement that they will only support AOC’s reelection campaign if she agrees to the following conditions:
“Publicly opposes all funding to Israel, including the Iron Dome.”
“Participates regularly in the DSA Federal Socialists in Office Committee.”
“Publicly opposes all criminalization of Anti-Zionism, such as bills advancing the IHRA definition which conflates criticism of Israel with anti-Semitism.”
“Publicly supports BDS (Boycott, Divest, and Sanction) to end Israeli settler-colonialism.”
Interestingly, the DSA seems to take the most umbrage with AOC’s wishy-washy approach to the Israeli-Hamas conflict because the DSA is “committed to ensuring that all of our elected officials are unabashed in their support for Palestinian freedom.”
Question: What does Palestinian freedom have to do with promoting domestic socialism?
Answer: Nothing.
This goes to show that the DSA is not actually devoted to pushing socialist policies in America; rather, it is the haven for neo-Marxism.
Unlike traditional Marxism, which sought to primarily address economic inequalities between the so-called bourgeoise and proletariat, neo-Marxism has a much broader set of targets.
Under neo-Marxism, everything is on the table. From advocating for “Palestinian freedom” to pushing for open borders to defunding the police, the DSA has gone all in on neo-Marxism.
Apart from being against Western values in a general sense, neo-Marxism incorporates a toxic view of oppressor-victim to practically every issue.
Neo-Marxism dismisses notions of right and wrong because it lacks basic core principles and instead views all subjects from a misguided standpoint of simple power dynamics.

To the democRATs, being associated with DSA is not a show stopper. That is amazing.
Gee, this could be good news for many FReepers secretly in love with AOC. Maybe they can come out of the closet and start reposting her dance video they couldn’t get enough of when she was first known to be a commie.
I’ll have a Dewar’s and water, thank you.
Good to have you back Alexandria...
“many FReepers secretly in love with AOC.”
They actually exist?!?
You know things are bad when AOC has to say someone is nuts.
“Democratic Socialists of America throw AOC under the bus”
And then the bus threw up
Why doesn’t the socialist bartender make demands on these dingleberries?
Yes she was one of them, and they have always hated Israel, but *now* it's a litmus test to go all in for Hamas.
But of course.
One of the first love fests was Ann Coulter - a Bush era deep stater. They could not repost enough of her pics.
The current one is Tulsi Gabbard. This love fest was to get her to be Trump’s VP. This girl is a chameleon - blue yesterday, red today in order to blend in with Trump’s crowd.
Some guys here see a certain woman and cannot see past her female parts.
I’m surprised none of them had the hots for Nikki Haley.
There was actually a FReeper (I can’t remember who right now) gushing about how good Jill Biden looks for her age a couple of weeks ago.
I really hope he was being facetious.
And you had to come up with a putrefying remark like that just before lunch time!
Seriously, I believe some sex starved clown would say something like that.
Personally I can’t stand Jill’s eyes, to me they have an evil gaze, much the way Pence has. I can’t stand her. She’s more evil than Hillary. Let’s face it, if she is in fact running the show, she’s done more damage than Hillary ever could have. And I’m no fan of Hillary either.
I can’t stand her either. Did you read my comment? I was referencing what some other FReeper said and I said I hoped he was kidding. I’m not sure he was, though.
I could dig back for the comment, but I just don’t want to right now. It was shortly after the debate.
