Mamdani’s socialists wrote a new platform. I’ve read it before — in Russian

Last month, after the New York primaries, I made a simple suggestion: read the Democratic Socialists of America’s own platform. The DSA has apparently concluded the old one was too modest. They are writing a new one.

According to Fox News, citing a source familiar with the organization’s planning, the updated long-term program calls for eliminating the United States Senate and replacing the president and the Supreme Court with an executive and a judiciary chosen by — and subordinate to — Congress. Add amnesty for all immigrants and defunding the Department of War. This sits atop the existing platform, which already demands an immediate end to all deportations, free migration without border controls, voting rights for noncitizens, universal rent control, and a new constitution built around a “single federal legislature.”
