Blue and orange hair. Facial piercings. Ink enough to qualify as cartography. Political buttons, tote bags, and protest signs everywhere.
It was the sort of gathering where the certainty of the attendees seemed inversely proportional to their experience with the consequences of their ideas.
No, this was not the premiere of a Japanese manga film; this was Chicago, where the Democratic Socialists of America gathered for its 2026 Democratic Socialists Summit and National Organizing Conference. The organization invited members to spend four days on political education, organizer development, skills training, and social activities. There were five principal tracks: Palestine Solidarity and Anti-War, Abolish ICE, Electoral, Labor, and General Organizing.
Welcome to Commie-Con, where the agenda was magnificent.
The DSA's national program, Workers Deserve More, calls for public ownership of major corporations and essential industries, abolition of the Electoral College and Senate, a multiparty political system, major changes to the executive and judicial branches, abolition of ICE, and, ultimately, the replacement of capitalism. That is a remarkable amount of civilization to redesign over a weekend, and one almost expects a vendor's booth selling commemorative hammers.
To be fair, the DSA does not hide the basic proposition. Its political language has been polished for contemporary ears, but the underlying idea remains recognizable: capitalism concentrates power in private hands, workers should control the economy, and the political system must be transformed accordingly.

It is all fun and games until they start getting elected.
The DNC’s Hamas wing is fully prepared.
We used to call these people “Commie Pinko Fags”. No we call them Senator and Congressman.
From the DSA comrades ...These bastards no longer try to hide who they are.
“This year, on May Day, over 170 DSA chapters took to the streets alongside unions and mass organizations, united to demand taxing the rich, abolishing ICE, and an arms embargo. Comrades from the Twin Cities, LA, and across the nation have shown us that mass action, led by a fighting labor movement, is needed to win truly transformative change. In the Labor Track, attendees will learn about Solidarity Schools and how we can draw thousands of workers off the job and into the streets. Attendees will be plugged into NLC’s priority campaigns, including organizing Amazon and Starbucks workers, Labor for an Arms Embargo, and Unions for All.”
One of the commies strength is they’re good at organizing...
“Organizing Fundamentals: Building Blocks for Socialist Victory
The Organizing Fundamentals track will be a highly interactive series of trainings for new trainers, planning workshops, role plays, and other ways of engaging with the fundamentals of building the socialist movement. Participants will have opportunities to practice facilitation, thinking through complex situations, and organizing conversations. Participants will leave with tools to take back to your chapter to help strengthen your organizing and train others.”
The Palestinians are perhaps the most war like people on the planet . They invaded a country with a clearly superior military just so they could murder , rape and commit unspeakable atrocities in evil acts of pure hatred. Then they complain after they get totally defeated that genocide is being inflicted upon them!
