Instead, it would be more of a radical, left-populist party espousing socialist ideas and reforms in order to lay the groundwork for socialist transformation.

While there are clusters of DSA members who do advance some form of revolutionary vanguardism, votes at the Convention showed them to be a small minority of the organization.

A prerequisite for DSA enabling the political developments it desires is that it develop the organizational capacity to intervene as a coherent force when opportunities present themselves. It is noteworthy therefore that, while the different caucuses and factions within DSA differ about specific organizational reforms, they all seem focused on restructuring DSA so that it can indeed intervene in a more coherent and disciplined manner politically. This is suggestive of DSA, not liquidating into, nor subordinating itself to, the Democratic Party, but seriously aspiring to political independence from it.

The organization now claims several thousand more than 90, members, making it the largest socialist organization in the U. However, there is some evidence that an inevitable temporary, DSAers hope pause in this rapid growth is, at last, at hand. The chief task in the next couple of years may be one of consolidation and maintenance of membership levels. The possibility remains as I fear is the case that any break with the Democratic Party is not viable, or that as I also fear it would have problematic political side-effects if accomplished.

But with regard to the Platypus Review piece to which I am responding, my point is that what is arguably the core of the Millennial Left, the DSA, seems intent on not subordinating itself to the Democratic Party and is taking steps as an organization to avoid that outcome.

Therefore, the argument that the Millennial Left as whole is so subordinated, needs, at the very least, more fleshing out than is provided in the article as it stands. Whereas, electoral politics is a central pillar of a viable socialist strategy in a formally democratic state;. Whereas the US party system currently does not allow for traditional political parties—private organizations with control over their membership rolls and ballot lines—but rather is made up of coalitions of national, state, and local party committees, affiliated organizations, donors, lawyers, consultants, and other operatives;.

Whereas the US political landscape is dominated by two such coalitions, the Republican Party and the Democratic Party, whose ballot lines are controlled by state law and not by any particular party apparatus;. Whereas the Republican Party has an anti-democratic coalition consisting of overt white supremacists, the most reactionary wing of capital, and a growing reactionary minority of working-class people;.

Whereas the Democratic Party coalition has the historical support of a multi-racial working-class base, has been trending toward higher-income middle-class voters, and is dominated by the political preferences of its capitalist donor class;. Whereas socialists need a political party to organize the working class in order to contest elections, to act as a vehicle to organize the millions of working people who are not yet socialists, to win democratic socialism, and to function as a political pole for democratic socialism; and.

Whereas the unique nature of the US two-party system requires that socialists continue to contest partisan elections chiefly on the Democratic ballot line; now, therefore, be it.

Resolved that DSA and its local chapters commit to the project of building a working-class party: a mass democratic political organization capable of taking state power with a strategy for social transformation; and. Resolved that DSA will continue its successful approach of tactically contesting partisan elections on the Democratic ballot line while building power independent of the Democratic party apparatus; and.

Resolved that DSA commits to developing state-level organizations and orienting toward running candidates for state legislatures, both as a means to contest the power of state government and to build capacity for statewide and federal races; and. Resolved that DSA chapters commit to building the organization and skills necessary to recruit candidates and win campaigns through member-led mass outreach and to build chapter-level electoral working groups or committees that persist beyond a particular campaign or election cycle; and.
