Q: What is the Socialist International?

A: It is the worldwide organization of socialist, social democratic and labor parties. It currently brings together 131 political parties and organizations from all continents. Its origins go back to the early international organizations of the labor movement of the last century.* It has existed in its present form since 1951, when it was re-established at the Frankfurt Congress. They are now headquartered in London, England.

* In 1864, representatives of English and French industrial workers founded the International Working men's Association in London. Karl Marx, who was living in London at the time, became the first internationals dominant figure. Marx's doctrines were revived in the 20th century by Russian revolutionary Vladimir Ilich Lenin, who developed and applied them – and we all know that what was started as a labor movement ended up as the biggest totalitarian/communist state, i.e., the USSR.

Q: What is the Democratic Socialists of America [DSA]?

A: It is the largest socialist organization in the United States, and the principal U.S. affiliate of the Socialist International. Their website is

Q: What are seven principles behind what the DSA calls it's "Progressive Challenge?"

Dignified Work ( let the immigrants / Mexicans do the work but pay us for not working anyway)
Environmental Justice ( global warming another joke)
Economic Redistribution ( OH-bamas plan )
Democratic Participation ( Social programs)
Community Empowerment ( ACORN) (Black Panther Returns)
Global Non-Violence (Disarm everyone so governments rule)
Social Justice. ( Everyone lives the same, that is what got the USA where we are YEA RIGHT)

Never mind their soothing-sounding leftist doublespeak like 'Environmental Justice' (whatever that is supposed to mean) or the soft & fuzzy 'Global Non-Violence' (a euphemism for unilateral disarmament) — the DSA's self-declared principle of 'Economic Redistribution' clearly shows where these folks are coming from and exactly where they plan to take America.
