    But it is very clearly happening over time. Despite not making up a majority of DSA membership, most committees are run by ideologically driven caucus members, which despite their difference between caucuses, all fall much farther to the left than the rank and file DSA member.

    Most internal DSA elections are dominated by the left caucuses, which is a good thing for base building while simultaneously using the dues and manpower of otherwise more liberal membership to take more left leaning public action and positions.

        I’m going to be honest with you: I don’t think you have any idea what active DSA membership actually looks like. DSA is not the American socialist party of the future, but it’s very obvious that within it an actual socialist party is incubating amongst the Marxist membership who are, by far, the most active members and objectively constitute a majority in committee representation and caucus representation
