Dear Louis,
The revived /Socialist Forum, /DSA’s political discussion bulletin, has
just launched! Here’s the full announcement from the /Socialist Forum’s/
editorial committee. See below to find out more about /Socialist Forum/
and how it relates to our other DSA venues.
In solidarity,
Maria Svart
DSA National Director
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*We’re pleased to announce the launch of DSA’s newest publication,
Socialist Forum.
<https://act.dsausa.org/go/32646?t=1&akid=15914%2E101826%2E6x6UwO>*
DSA’s rapid growth over the last two years, and its “big-tent”
character, has made it all the more important that we have this venue
for serious, thorough, and non-sectarian political debates and discussions.
Much has also been written about the meaning of “democratic socialism”
in the present. But for many years, our organization has lacked a space
where these ideas could be discussed in such a fashion.
/Socialist Forum/ is a revival of an old DSA journal of the same name.
It’s meant to complement other DSA venues, including /Democratic Left/
and our blog, DSA Weekly.
Unlike those venues, *Socialist Forum has consciously been designed as a
space for more theoretical reflection,*
<https://act.dsausa.org/go/32646?t=2&akid=15914%2E101826%2E6x6UwO>
intended to help develop a theory and practice of democratic socialism
for the twenty-first century. We also want to contribute to the broader
theoretical and political discussions on the Left.
Socialist Forum will appear quarterly, and feature long-form essays that
address a specific question, topic, or theme in depth. The theme of the
inaugural issue is the question of “political revolution” and its
meaning in the U.S. today.
*Published contributions will represent as wide a range of views in DSA
as possible. *The editorial board of Socialist Forum is composed of
members with various points of view on important political questions,
<https://act.dsausa.org/go/32647?t=3&akid=15914%2E101826%2E6x6UwO> and
it doesn’t adhere to a single theoretical or strategic perspective.
Essays published in the journal reflect the views of their contributors.
They are not intended to establish a DSA “party line” on any given issue.
Our goal is not just to publish a new issue of /Socialist Forum/ every
few months, but to integrate the publication into DSA’s ongoing
political education work as much as possible. We hope the essays in the
journal become the subjects of robust debate and discussion, that they
generate constructive feedback and criticism, and that they act as the
initial steps for an ongoing conversation about our common political
project.
— The /Socialist Forum /Editorial Committee
