Thanks. This allegedly most orthodox-Marxist of DSA's programs did not stand for a socialist economy. The preamble speaks of "popular control of resources and production, economic planning." There is nothing else in the program to nail down economic planning. If you don't plan overall allocation of investment, you don't have socialism.
Their relevant description of the economy is on page 11: "We call for the nationalization of businesses like utilities and critical manufacturing and technology companies, alongside regulation of corporate, communications, data, and financial sectors. We seek to ensure social and worker control over these businesses." This is explicit capitalism, only regulating a swath of corporations that are still run for profit and invest it to accumulate more capital. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
