Goldberg Says Democratic Socialists Pose 0 Threat to US Free Markets

2 articles · Updated · telegraphherald.com · Aug 3

Summary

  • Goldberg argued Democratic Socialists of America do not pose a real danger to U.S. free markets, pushing back on claims that the movement threatens the economic system.
  • DSA, he wrote, is generating much of the current energy and excitement inside both Democratic and Republican politics, even as Republicans amplify attention around it.
  • He said the group backs positions far outside the U.S. political mainstream, including abolishing the police, prisons, the Pentagon and the Senate.
  • That mix of ideological extremity and heightened visibility, in his view, makes DSA more of a political flashpoint than a practical threat to the market order.
