The Democratic Socialists of America's Platform Explicitly Aims to Destroy the Constitution

Socialists are sweeping through and taking control of America's big cities, replacing the old Democrat establishment and imposing their will on local politics. ... Stu Smith at City Journal wrote an excellent deep dive on the newly adopted DSA platform labeled "Workers Deserve More!" ... Smith noted that the platform is actually a compromise by the organization to provide a big tent that would allow "Bernie Sanders devotees and more reform-minded socialists to work alongside self-described Maoists and Communists" who demand even more radical positions. ... The platform endorses the "scrapping the U.S. Senate, 'abolishing the carceral forces of the capitalist state,' defunding the Department of War, amnesty for all immigrants, and replac[ing] the President and Supreme Court with an executive and judiciary chosen by and subordinate to Congress." ... The document calls for the drafting of a new constitution and creating a "democratic socialist republic" to presumably rule over the rubble of the old constitutional republic. ... That's refreshingly straightforward. DSA's aims are clear. By removing all impediments to its power, it means to do from within what Khruschev and the old USSR failed to accomplish from without: bury the good, old USA once and for all, and replace it with a Marxist, all-powerful state ruled by them.
