Socialism is in the air, and on the march. Democrats Socialists like Zohran Mandami in New York City and Janeese Lewis George in DC are winning elections. More and more people are embracing socialism. But what is is it?

In our next Socialist Night School, we’ll tackle the question of socialism.

  • What is capitalism?

  • What is democracy?

  • What is socialism?

  • How does the work of DSA help us get there?

  • How can you get involved (or more involved) in DSA?

While everyone is welcome, this session is especially designed for newer members and those who are relatively new to socialism. The session was led by Socialist Night School co-organizer David K.
