Barack Obama, "Social Democrats," and the Democratic Party's Neo-Marxist Stealth Revolutionary Ambitions
Democrat Socialists of America Are the Trotskyite Vanguard of Today's Communist Democratic Party
This Substack article is an excerpt from my book The Truth About Neo-Marxism, Cultural Maoism, and Anarchy: Exposing Woke Insanity in an Age of Disinformation.
In 2013, New Zealander Trevor Loudon published a comprehensive new 689-page volume entitled The Enemies Within: Communists, Socialists and Progressives in the U.S. Congress1 to accompany his 668-page 2011 book, Barack Obama and the Enemies Within.2 In both volumes, Loudon proved himself to be among the foremost experts in the world investigating and reporting upon the penetration of neo-Marxists masquerading as democratic socialists or progressives in the U.S. Congress. Loudon made clear these congressional neo-Marxists portray themselves as liberals to mask their actual radical attachment to the dialectic view of revolutionary historical inevitability aimed at destroying the Constitution.
Loudon documented how the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) formed a coalition of former Trotskyite, new-Left activists; Socialist Party; and Communist Party members in 1983. “Democratic Socialists of America is now the U.S.’s largest Marxist organization and its moderate name has allowed it to infiltrate other parties, including the New Party, the Working Families Party, the Greens, and the Democratic Party,” Loudon noted.3
In 1996, when Barack Obama first ran for office, running for the Illinois State Senate as the Democratic Party candidate, the Chicago Democratic Socialists of America and the New Party endorsed him. The New Party, formed by the Democratic Socialists of America and the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), was the U.S.’s largest radical organization. Before attending Harvard Law School, Obama worked with ACORN as a community organizer.4 Loudon made clear the Democratic Socialists of America played a significant role with Senator Bernie Sanders in forming the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) in 1991. At that time, the openly socialist Sanders served in Congress as an Independent senator from Vermont. In his 2013 book, Loudon detailed the neo-Marxist backgrounds of the more than seventy members of the U.S. House of Representatives who were members of the CPC.5 Loudon stressed that the legislative agenda of the Democratic Socialists of America is identical to that of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA), “but the word ‘Democratic’ in the DSA’s name enables it to penetrate organizations that wouldn’t accept more open communists.”6
Louden detailed congressional profiles of members of Congress in 2013, providing extensive evidence of radical leftist ties in the backgrounds of top Democratic Party U.S. senators Barbara Boxer (CA), Dick Durbin (IL), Tom Harkin (IA), Barbara Mikulski (MD), Elizabeth Warren (MA), Ed Markey (MA), Debbie Stabenow (MI), Al Franken (MN), Sherrod Brown (OH), Ron Wyden (OR), Jeff Merkley (OR), Patty Murray (WA), and Tammy Baldwin (WI). In the House of Representatives, Loudon profiled the radical Left background of Democratic Party representatives Nancy Pelosi (CA), Louis Gutierrez (IL), John Conyers, Jr. (MI), Charles Rangel (NY), Marcy Kaptur (OH), Peter DeFazio (OR), Sheila Jackson Lee (TX), Jim McDermott (WA), and dozens more. What makes Loudon’s profiles of the radical associations of Democratic Party members of Congress impressive is his extensive research. Loudon’s documentation for each identified member of Congress included footnoted discussions, news clips, website screen captures, and quotations from published sources that leave no doubt about the authenticity and accuracy of his allegations.
Loudon’s painstaking research affirmed an important point Coughlin and Higgins make:
Analysis of the Left that fails to account for the narrative impact of terms like Democratic Socialism will fail because they are under-inclusive to the activities and events that these terms bring into play, not the least because so few are aware of the hard association of “Democratic Socialism” with Marxist-Leninism.
At the same time, well-worn terms with American political pedigrees like “liberal” serve as foils that mask socialist agendas through narratives that limit political analysis to what an anachronistic political lexicon permits.7
As we noted earlier, Coughlin and Higgins stressed that a principal objective of the radical Left is to hide its revolutionary purposes in the old lexicon of liberal or progressive politics while escalating radicalized agendas that find cover under politics as usual.
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has self-identified as a “democrat socialist,” though the Democrat Socialists of America website brags that “Bronx Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, best known as AOC, is DSA’s foremost socialist superstar.”8 The DSA website continued: “Today—with over 12 million Twitter followers, her picture on the December cover of Vanity Fair, and mass cultural appeal to the teens and the not-yet political—she continues to use her unasked-for celebrity to build support for a democrat socialist agenda.”9 Yet, in interviews, AOC downplays her neo-Marxist agenda by likening her view of democratic socialism to Scandinavian social democracy. “So when millennials talk about concepts like democratic socialism, we’re not talking about these kinds of ‘Red Scare’ boogeyman,” AOC explained in a 2019 interview with Business Insider. “We’re talking about countries and systems that already exist that have already been proven to be successful in the modern world.” She insisted her view of democratic socialism was exhibited by her support of a single-payer health care system that covers all forms of health care. “We’re talking about single-payer health care that has already been successful in many different models, from Finland to Canada to the UK,” she said. She emphasized that her platform includes guaranteeing Americans a living wage that maintains “basic levels of dignity so that no person in America is too poor to live,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “That’s what democratic socialism means in 2018, and not this kind of McCarthyism Red Scare of a past era.”10
The DSA takes pains to distinguish the organization from a political party. The DSA does not register with the Federal Elections Commission. Instead, the DSA is a nonprofit registered as a 501(c)4 organization. Rather than admit the DSA’s goal is to eradicate capitalism, DSA proclaims the need to “democratize” capitalism. “Socialism is about democratizing the family to get rid of patriarchal relations; democratizing the political sphere to get genuine participatory democracy; democratizing the schools by challenging the hierarchical relationship between the teachers of the school and the students of the school,” insisted Jared Abbott, a member of DSA’s national steering committee. “Socialism is the democratization of all areas of life, included but not limited to the economy.”11 Few remember that the Russian Social-Democratic Workers’ Party, formed in Minsk in 1898, a party to which Vladimir Lenin belonged, was the predecessor to the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.12

Another great article that identifies a disturbing truth Dr. Corsi 👍
I’d like to elaborate on the the “stealth” factor of “Neo-Marxist Stealth Revolutionary Ambitions” you mention.
You mentioned nonprofits registered as a 501(c)4 organization.
The enemy’s of the American Constitutional Republic use non-profit orgs and NGOs such as ACORN, DSA, and hundreds of other nonprofits to launder money back an forth by donating to each other.
Have you heard of indivisible.org? They finance candidates throughout the nation. But hundreds of nonprofits donate to them, and they donate to other non-profits
That’s the stealth
And of course they use names that sound like they’re aligned with the constitution, patriotism, etc but the name is camouflage for what they really represent. (Which you eluded to)
