The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is radical at best, and its Communist wing is winning the arguments and winning the majority internally.
Since the 2025 convention, tensions between reform-minded leaders and those aligned with Communist and Marxist-Leninist perspectives have intensified, with the Communist bloc prevailing on many of the most contentious issues, Stu Smith writes at The Free Press.
The BlackRedGuard won
The divide has been on display throughout 2026 in many contentious NPC votes. One such vote centered on Christopher Winston, better known as BlackRedGuard, a Maoist DSA member of the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist Liberation Caucus, which published a statement supporting Elias Rodriguez. Rodriguez is the alleged assassin of two Israeli Embassy staffers outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C.
After Winston was elected to serve on the DSA’s militant Red Rabbits Security Commission, an NPC member introduced a resolution to remove him from the body, which failed by a vote of 15 to 10.
The 10 votes in favor of removing Winston came entirely from members of the reformist caucuses, Groundwork and Socialist Majority, along with one unaffiliated NPC member, Abdullah Farooq.
The NPC is the National Political Committee of the DSA—basically their board. A majority of NPCs identify with Communist ideology.
This is how democratic socialism must go. It only exists as a euphemism. Do you really want these lunatics to rule over you?
Hear it for yourself! Members of DSA’s NPC, its board of directors, explain their communist beliefs in their own words. https://t.co/CgWBnKNeT6
