Theories of socialism have tended to overemphasize the capitalist structure and diminish the role of democratic struggle and popular will.

Angela Gonzales-Torres' opponent in the race for California's 34th Congressional District, Jimmy Gomez, has been accused of sexual assault. In her latest, Lydia Cardwell examines DSA-endorsed Angela Gonzales-Torres' campaign, the Left’s struggles with misogyny in its own movement, and the necessity to fight against the Right not just as fascists, but as a political movement structured around enacting violence against women.

Like the abolitionists before us, our networks of neighborhood defense must go on the offensive to make Democratic Revolution and seize power.
