America has got a lot of problems. Could Democratic Socialism help?
In this critical political moment, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is the only organization actively asserting that health care, housing, education, and racial justice are basic human rights. Its members, unafraid to call for an overhaul of capitalism, are working to gain electoral power in Maine and across the country.
Do democratic socialists represent the future of the progressive left? Are they a viable political force? Worried about the growing chasm between the rich and the poor and the numerous socio-economic problems plaguing the country, I decided to attend the Southern Maine DSA’s monthly meeting at Portland City Hall to find out how these lefties organize and approach progressive issues.
