Abstract
Unlike the social movements of the last decades that have focused on creating decentralized networks, unencumbered by unifying demands or an articulated base, the DSA is a class-focused organization that is intent on both engaging state power through elections as well as placing concrete demands on the state for large social policy transformations through grassroots campaigns, such as Medicare for All and the Green New Deal. As a writer and activist who came of age during the affinity groups and consensus-decision making of the Global Justice Movement, this realignment not only toward socialism but to a socialist organization is perhaps the most dramatic historical rupture I've witnessed in my time
