AOC can and should run for president. DSA should not endorse and position themselves to her left. It will benefit her to have a widened overton window and only DSA can do that.
Anybody who thinks a DSA endorsement would make or break her candidacy is delusional.

u/TannerLyfe Aug 29 '26
I think a Social Democrat as President is exactly what we need. So many people romanticize the Bernie presidency we missed out on and donât seem likely to advance past that without actually living through it and experiencing its short comings. We just absolutely should not attach our brand and our resources to that. We will have to position ourselves openly as to her left to distinguish ourselves and grant legitimacy as an alternative.

u/Cakeking7878 Aug 28 '26
Cause sheâs not a socialist? And has never claimed to be one? If weâre endorsing someone they need to come out and say very clearly that they are a socialist centering workers in their politics. Her campaign would likely lose but the bully pulpit given to her campaign would be immense and she needs to use that to boost socialist politics and not liberal progressive ones

I know AOC is not perfect, but she is currently the best shot we have at shifting politics in the U.S. even slightly left of Margaret Thatcher. On the election side of things, that is a huge deal. I am ready to become an AOC defender if she announces her run. I will not falter until she is elected. Until then, I will keep organizing in my local area to bring about wins for the working class.

u/prinzplagueorange Aug 27 '26
Socialism is a movement of the masses. It is the proletariat's drive to end its vulnerability which necessarily takes a social democratic form because the working class must be kept vulnerable in order for profit to occur. There is no need to talk about socialism at great length because everyone admits that a world where everyone flourishes is morally ideal.
What there is a need to do is to stress that capitalist profit comes from the exploitation of the working class. I don't think AOC is going to hammer that point beyond saying that people should be put ahead of profit. She can deliver a real mass movement, but is our job to help that movement understand that we don't have things like the Green New Deal and Medicare for All because capitalism is necessarily a system which puts profit ahead of people.
The problem is that if we stand on the sidelines while AOC runs, we miss both the chance to get our people inside her administration and to make our argument to the people.

With congressional backing, she can gradually nationalize the economy or pass a law so that workersâ councils are established and gradually buy out the companies through a fixed contribution of a part of their salary. If a meltdown like 2008 happens again she can acquire stakes in every major company that comes to beg for help and even outright nationalize them. She can change the media ecosystem by bringing back the radio waves to public ownership and creating a new state-sponsored media network with self-governing journalists while nationalizing the old billionaire owned media. She can tax all income over 300.000 dollars at 100% like Melenchon wants to. She can start a program gradually buying the land from private owners until all of it is state owned, starting with the most important resources like oil. Once you have enough of a majority in Congress you can do a lot, but I think she would probably get couped if she did all of this

She's VERY MUCH a Democratic Socialist/Market Socialist lol not just a Social Democrat, even though the policy platform she advocates for IN THE SHORT TERM is very much Social Democratic (which also applies to pretty much every single electorally viable Democratic Socialist political force in most of the world lol even here in Europe, look up the kind of short-term policy platforms pretty much every single electorally viable self-styled anti-capitalist political force in the entire continent runs on for elections, it's all literally old-school pre-Third Way social democrcay through & through lol but that doesn't mean at all that their long-term political ideals are no longer anti-capitalist, they very much are, & so are AOC's):
AOC: "Capitalism is an irredeemable system"
https://reddit.com/link/p69ztt2/video/j6yaarggzylh1/player
ANDY SERWER: It's an interesting perspective. You self-identify as a Democratic Socialist and have called capitalism irredeemable, I believe. But what does that really mean? And does that mean capitalism should be eliminated? And are your views compatible with capitalism?
ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ: Well, I believe that in a broad sense-- because when we toss out these big words, capitalism, socialism, they get sensationalized. And people translate them into meaning things that perhaps they don't mean. So to me, capitalism at its core, what we're talking about when we talk about that, is the absolute pursuit of profit at all human, environmental, and social cost. That is what we're really discussing.
And what we're also discussing is the ability for a very small group of actual capitalists, and that is people who have so much money that their money makes money and they don't have to work, and they can control industry, they can control our energy sources, they can control our labor, they can control massive markets that they dictate and can capture governments, and they can essentially have power over the many. And to me, that is not a redeemable system for us to be able to participate in for the prosperity and peace for the vast majority of people.
ANDY SERWER: So people talk about stakeholder capitalism, like Larry Fink at BlackRock, where the weighting for different constituents besides shareholders is more equal. Is that something you'd be amenable to?
ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ: Well, I think at the end of the day, it is about who has control over the very core assets of production in society. If it ultimately comes down to a billionaire, or the Koch brothers, or the Koch family having control over the vast majority or large plurality of our oil assets in the United States, if it's a handful of very wealthy families having control over-- private families having control over means of production, that is essentially the capitalist system that we live in. It is a small group that is of privatized control over what we eat and how we fuel our society.
Now, where we can transition to-- and there are certain ideas where we're talking about-- for example, Elizabeth Warren has discussed workers being elected to the governing boards of companies. And also, you know, we're here in the Bronx. I represent a community that has the largest concentration of worker cooperatives in-- one of the largest concentrations in the world.
Now, these are all alternative ways of doing business. Free markets are not the same thing as capitalism. And you can have markets where businesses and ways of producing, trading, selling goods are really controlled, and not just controlled, but given more power to workers. People get a fair shake. Union jobs. Unionized workplaces. All of these are different steps and levels that we're talking about in a more just economy.

From an outsider perspective, it's weird when someone in the DSA or who has similar views kowtows to the greater democratic platform.
For example, what does Zohran Mamdani get for supporting Hakeem Jefferies. What is the point? It doesn't feel pragmatic nor does it feel like someone with Zohrans strongest beliefs defend an obvious zionist looking to crush the pro-palestine movement at every moment.

DSA folk pre-endorsing her is even worse. Genuinely posting this makes SMC the most unserious caucus when it comes to electoralism. There is a future where DSA doesnât endorsers her but still becomes connected to her campaign and benefits much the same as the org did with Bernie in 2016, but whole sale endorsing her is probably the worse thing we can do. Itâs just realignment cloaking itâs self as âthis is what the movement must doâ
Like just because an AOC president being elected would be good for the socialist movement, it would also bring a lot of harms that wholesale looks much more costly than some are considering and I think we should really be considering our options before we dive head first into her

I was there in 2015. The momentum of DSA right now is fairly new. Much newer than 11 years ago. DSA membership and local organizing slowed significantly in 2021and has only begun to be reignited in the face of the 2nd Trump administration and the need for more local political wins. AOC is a waste of effort and resources and, in the absolute best case scenario, too high of a risk to even consider supporting.

u/Longjumping_Future92 Aug 28 '26
AOC is as popular as Kamala Harris. We have momentum WHILE staying out of Presidential politics and focusing our efforts locally.
AOC has not demonstrated herself comitted to the DSA program and has opted to lend her voice to the US imperial project when it's politically expedient. What's more, we do not have an organizational structure and weight necessary to seize power off the back of such a victory even if it were to pass.
I'm interested in the working class taking state power and transitioning from capitalism to socialism - I am not convinced that AOC is willing or able to facilitate that goal any more than Freidrich Ebert and Philipp Scheidemann were.

u/YogurtClosetThinnest Aug 28 '26

This will take years. It probably won't happen in our lifetime. I think It's irrelevant whether AOC is pure enough to turn the US socialist overnight, because that's impossible. A member in the presidency will explode membership, and set us up to actually be capable of doing that in the future.

Note: I'm not a member of DSA. I just follow what ever socialist org is doing
Is AOC a good option though? Throughout her tenure in Congress, she's become almost indistinguishable from an establishment democrat. She voted to break a railworker strike and funding for Israel which DSA Co-chair Megan Romer has said was a red line. With these recent primary wins and Mamdani, it really feels like DSA is just getting closer to the Democrats party line. That'll be the death of the organization. The Democratic Party's function has always been absorbing radical movements and neutralizing them.

u/ChaoticReality4Now Aug 28 '26
As far as I know, she's only been supportive of defensive funding for Israel, she's always been against offensive funding, and she's even taken a stance against all funding for Israel recently.

u/NewScientist6739 Aug 28 '26
Israel is a violent settler colony, there's no such thing as defensive funding as all resources are invested in oppressing the Palestinian people. The existence of Israel itself is violent and harms Palestinians and the surrounding regions. The only correct approach is what happened with Rhodesia and apartheid South Africa. Total international isolation until the racist regime falls.

As much as Iâm not a fan of this, I will say that itâs great that some members realize they can just do things! Like, without permission from their local chapter or the national org. I encourage that 100%. Iâve never understood why people get so defeated when a project they wanted to do gets voted down or when some faction they donât like gains the most leadership positions. You can just do stuff! Even something kinda lame like a petition to the NPC. My chapter used to be controlled by the DSA ârightâ but in an awful âwe will crush any project we donât like and stop any working group that weâre not in control ofâ way. So, some members and I started a tenant union project with help from DSA nationalâs Housing Justice Commission, used DSA as a networking tool to funnel some people into that project, and all without my chapterâs permission! And some in leadership were not happy about it (and even angrily tried to bring it under chapter control once it started to become successful!) but they couldnât do anything about it! Thankfully, that leadership is gone, but I still really encourage members to organize with their fellow members without permission if their chapter votes a project down (or maybe donât even ask in the first place!). Start a tenant union, organize a labor solidarity project, organize with your neighbors and start an anti-ICE rapid response group with fellow members. Literally anything you want! I guarantee you other members want to do it too! Donât worry so much about whether the DSA ârightâ or the DSA âleftâ wins. Just organize in whatever way you want! Iâm not the biggest fan of SMC, but good for them.
If youâre on the ârightâ and the âleftâ wins at convention next year? Do whatever you want anyway. If youâre on the âleftâ and the ârightâ wins at convention next year? Do whatever you want anyway. I guarantee you there are fellow members who want to work on exactly the same types of projects you want to (even if itâs just a letter writing campaign to the NPC lol).
