Schumer must be afraid that the DSA will take him out.

The foundation has been laid. First the Dem party, next, the entire country.

There is a very slippery downhill slope from today’s socialism to communism. Those who fail to see this, including the author of this pap, contribute to the country’s demise.

What happened to the good old days when the party could buy Bernie a new dacha and he would go away for four years?

Why “struggle” to contain it? I thought commie-ism was just peachy.

Comrades, it will be a mixture of the best of Capitalism and Communism for the privileged.

And a mixture of the worst of Capitalism and Communism for the majority. To get the picture, think about the PPACA for a few seconds.

Imagine Democrats are 55% of the voters and 55% of Democrats are Donkey Communists.

The Donkey Communists can win the primary elections and then the general elections.

**********************

Eliminate the primary system. With ranked choice voting it is no longer necessary.

Fighting in Congress to send middle-class income and property taxation cap constitutional amendments to the states would make Congress turn deep red come 2027.

Communism is a cancer.

You can let a cancer metastasize and kill its host. Politically, you can let communism take over a society, destroy it, and then have to deal with the consequences (e.g. the former Soviet Union).

Or you can kill the cancer by any available means, and hope the host survives the purge. The smaller the cancer, the more positive the prognosis, so removing the cancer by any available means sooner rather than later is better.

Is the “Old School” democrats in charge really upset by the new commies or are they just upset because they’re not the ones in charge leading this “new” movement?

Seems I heard the same crap decades ago...

I think they’d sell their grandmas down the river just to be in charge of the new (same as the old) movement.

My suggestion:

The Income & Property Tax Free Country Act of 2026

Each state government shall be entitled to create new countries. The territory of each country shall be such that navigation to an ocean or the Gulf of Mexico is possible.

Each such country shall given a constitution, which shall provide, in perpetuity, that it shall be forever revenue limited to:
1. motor fuel sales taxation not exceeding 50% by value, and
2. personal property sales taxation not exceeding 20% by value.

Each such country shall be deemed to have a treaty with the United States, which shall, in perpetuity:
1. ensure each American citizen who becomes a citizen and permanent resident of such a country shall not suffer a revenue imposition from any government of the United States,
2. ensure each American citizen who becomes a citizen and permanent resident of such a country shall not be subject to any extraterritorial power of any government of the United States,
3. ensure that country shall have free civilian navigation to and from international waters, and
4. bar the placement of foreign military means within the physical bounds of the country.

That can be done by majority vote:

“The Congress shall have power to dispose of...the territory or other property of the United States”

ARTICLE IV, SECTION 3

one need look no further than the insane radicalness of the DSA platform to see that labels don’t matter:

[Summary: complete destruction of the USA Constitution, complete destruction of our Republic, complete destruction of our economy, complete destruction of our world power, complete destruction of whatever freedoms we have remaining, total control of our population as slaves to fascist dictators]

Conversation with Gemini:

show me the highlights of the DSA party platform:

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is a political organization (rather than a traditional political party with its own ballot line) that seeks to transition the American economy from capitalism to a system of social ownership and democratic control.

Their official platform—re-energized and updated under the banner “Workers Deserve More!”—outlines a sweeping, revolutionary transformation of the U.S. political system, economy, and social fabric.

Democratic Socialists of America

1. Radical Democratization of the Political Order

The DSA argues that current American political structures protect corporate wealth rather than popular will. To change this, they advocate for a total overhaul of the U.S. Constitution:

Abolishing the U.S. Senate & Electoral College: They view the Senate and Electoral College as outdated structures that preserve minority rule.

Restructuring the Government: Replacing the President and the Supreme Court with an executive and judiciary branch that are chosen by, and directly subordinate to, Congress.

Expanding Voting Rights: Instituting automatic, election-day voter registration, making Election Day a federal holiday, and extending voting rights to non-citizens who meet residency requirements.

Campaign Finance: Eliminating private money in politics through full public financing of electoral campaig

ns.

2. Economic Democracy & Labor Power

At its core, the platform aims for the “abolition of capitalism” and a democratically run economy focused on human needs over corporate profit.

Social Ownership: Taking major corporations and essential industries (like energy, utilities, and finance) out of private hands and placing them under public ownership.

Unfettered Right to Unionize: Passing the PRO Act, completely repealing anti-union legislation like the Taft-Hartley Act, and implementing “card check” (union recognition through a simple majority vote).

Worker Expansion: Extending full labor protections to street vendors, agricultural workers, day laborers, domestic workers, and gig economy workers, regardless of their immigration status.

3. Demilitarization and Anti-Carceral Policies

The DSA explicitly calls for dismantling what it calls the “carceral forces of the capitalist state.”

Abolishing Police & Prisons: Defunding the police by incrementally cutting law enforcement budgets toward zero, while reallocating those resources to public services and community care.

Disarming Officers: Stripping law enforcement officers and private security of firearms.

Decarceration: Emptying prisons, freeing all people from involuntary confinement, and ending the criminalization of “working-class survival” (such as sex work or unhoused living).

4. Universal Social Programs & Climate

The platform envisions an extensive safety net funded by taxing the wealthy and shifting resources away from corporate interests.

Healthcare & Education: Guaranteeing single-payer, universal healthcare (”Medicare for All”—including queer-friendly and gender-affirming care) and tuition-free higher education.

Housing as a Right: Implementing aggressive “housing-first” relief programs to effectively banish homelessness.

Decarbonization: Completely shifting the U.S. economy away from fossil fuels within a decade through a worker-centered Green New Deal that democratizes major energy systems.

5. Non-Interventionist and Anti-Imperialist Foreign Policy

The platform shifts U.S. global engagement away from military dominance.

Defunding the Military: Massively slashing the budget of what they term the “Department of War,” closing all U.S. overseas military bases, and ending all unilateral economic sanctions (including those against nations like Cuba, Iran, and Russia).

Palestine Solidarity: The DSA maintains an explicitly anti-Zionist foreign policy stance. They view Israel as a “settler-colonial, apartheid state,” call for an end to all U.S. military aid to Israel, support the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement, and advocate for the “right of return” for all Palestinian refugees.

Amnesty & Border Security: Implementing universal amnesty for all undocumented immigrants and eliminating strict border enforcement restrictions.

Note on Strategy: While the national platform outlines these far-reaching, revolutionary horizons, the DSA often operates locally as a “movement party.” In practice, many of its elected members (such as those in New York City or state legislatures) often fight for more incremental, social-democratic changes in the short term, like affordable housing, public transit funding, and protecting reproductive rights.

I don’t think they’re struggling too hard. Most of them are commies or commie symps. If anything, they have struggled to hide it for many years. Now the masks are finally coming off. I actually don’t think Schumer is a commie, but he is a dinosoar within his party. He was also an enabler of what we see going on now. so no sympathy for him.
