That same year, DSA’s Fort Worth chap- ter hosted Ayers for a seminar. Ayers and his former wife, Bernardine
Dohrn, fled to Cuba in the 1970s, where they received training from the country’s foreign intelligence service. Former Weatherman Larry Grathwohl
stated in a 1982 documentary on KGB ac- tivities in North America: “[The Soviets] viewed the Cubans as being the vanguard of the international communist revolution.” The DSA has also maintained institu-
tional ties to other remnants of the old So- viet bloc, most notably the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation. It was established in the early 1990s in the aftermath of German reunifica- tion and has included among its leadership and honorary figures individuals with back-
grounds in the East German communist system, including some who had contacts with the Stasi, East Germany’s secret police. The Rosa Luxemburg Foundation has
provided organizing, training, and sup- port to DSA members and leaders. It fund- ed or co-supported DSA-related activities, including the 2015 Young Democratic So- cialists of America (YDSA) conference at the City University of New York and train- ing for the Afrosocialists and Socialists of Color Caucus in 2017. The foundation’s New York office
sponsored the “Strategies Against the Far Right” conference held June 15-18, 2017, in upstate New York. The event focused on left-wing responses to the Trump adminis- tration and its supporters.
Democrats need to start talking like normal Americans. WAS IT SOMETHING THEY SAID?
Democrats eyeing 2028 runs for president say the party has a vocabulary problem as well.
S The left’s embrace of woke buzzwords
alienated working-class voters, and Democrats need to start speaking more like ordinary people — and less like progressive politicos or liberal arts professors. Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear says
Democrats should “talk like normal human beings.” According to Axios, Beshear told Michigan Democrats at an April convention that the party has repelled red- and swing-state voters by using terms
ocialism is not the only problem facing the Democratic Party.
Axios reports that several
like “justice-involved population” rather than inmates, “food insecure” instead of “hungry,” and “substance-use disorder” instead of “addiction.” California Gov. Gavin Newsom has said
repeatedly that Democrats need to start being more “culturally normal.” Former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel
argues that the party should “ignore the culture police” and worry less about “a child’s right to pick his pronouns” and more about “children who do not know what a pronoun is.” Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., says
Democrats need to speak the language of the “factory line, not the faculty lounge.” The centrist Democrat group Third
Way created a guide to woke buzzwords it thinks the party should stamp out heading into 2028.
AMONG THEM: Birthing person: Mother Involuntary confinement: Prison Justice-impacted individual: Convict Food insecure: Hungry Unhoused: Homeless Substance use disorder: Addict Heuristic: Making an assumption Chest feeding: Breastfeeding Othering: Marginalizing a group Progressive stack: Priority speaking list Cisgender: Nontransgender person Deadnaming: Using someone’s former name Allyship: Providing support Heteronormative: Assuming everyone is straight Patriarchy: Male-dominated society Minoritized communities: Minorities
FORMER CHICAGO MAYOR RAHM EMANUEL ARGUES THAT THE PARTY SHOULD “IGNORE THE CULTURE POLICE” AND WORRY LESS ABOUT “A CHILD’S RIGHT TO PICK HIS PRONOUNS” AND MORE ABOUT “CHILDREN WHO DO NOT KNOW WHAT A PRONOUN IS.”
