The Democratic Socialists of America are not exactly hiding the ball anymore.

In a Fox News interview, DSA co chair Megan Romer acknowledged that the group’s platform includes abolishing borders, granting amnesty to illegal immigrants, and eliminating prisons.

That is not a conservative fever dream or some overheated campaign ad.

That is the agenda, stated plainly, from one of the people helping steer the socialist movement now trying to drag the Democratic Party even farther left.

Romer said the DSA platform also calls for defunding the Pentagon, abolishing the Senate, replacing the presidency and the Supreme Court, and abolishing United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

For a movement that loves to lecture America about democracy, it sure seems eager to tear down nearly every institution voters still recognize.

The border plank alone should make every sane American stop and take notice.

Open borders and mass amnesty are not immigration policy, they are an invitation to erase national sovereignty and reward lawbreaking on a grand scale.

For years, conservatives have warned that the activist left does not merely want softer immigration laws.

It wants a country where borders are treated as offensive, enforcement is treated as cruelty, and citizenship becomes little more than a paperwork inconvenience.

Now the DSA is saying the quiet part out loud.

Abolish borders, abolish ICE, and hand amnesty to illegal aliens, then expect working families to smile while communities absorb the cost.

The prison plank is just as revealing. Abolishing prisons may sound fashionable in faculty lounges and activist meetings, but in the real world, criminals do not vanish because progressives change the vocabulary.

Families dealing with rising crime, repeat offenders, and soft on crime prosecutors have already seen what happens when ideology outruns common sense.

The DSA response is apparently to go even further and remove the very institutions designed to separate dangerous people from the public.

Then there is the Pentagon.

Defunding America’s military while hostile regimes are testing the limits of American resolve is not brave or visionary, it is reckless.

China, Russia, Iran, and every terrorist network on earth would love nothing more than a weakened Pentagon and a political class too busy chanting slogans to defend the country.

The DSA platform would make America less secure while pretending moral superiority is a defense strategy.

The call to abolish the Senate is another window into the movement’s mindset.

When institutions stand in the way of radical goals, the answer is not persuasion, compromise, or winning over voters, it is demolition.

That same attitude appears in the desire to replace the presidency and Supreme Court.

The left has spent years raging at the Court when it refuses to rubber stamp progressive priorities, and the socialist answer is apparently to scrap the structure rather than respect constitutional limits.

WATCH:

This is the difference between reform and radicalism.

Reformers try to improve systems, radicals try to raze them and hope something better magically rises from the rubble.

The problem for Democrats is that the DSA is not some distant campus club with no relevance to real politics.

Its ideas keep moving into the bloodstream of the modern left, especially in deep blue cities where the activist class sets the tone and elected Democrats scramble to keep up.

That is why these admissions matter.

The platform is not simply a wish list, it is a preview of what the left’s loudest faction believes government should become.

Republicans would be foolish not to make voters hear every word of it.

In swing districts and working class communities, there is no great hunger for open borders, abolished prisons, a gutted military, and a constitutional system tossed into the shredder.

The DSA may dress its agenda in activist language, but the substance is brutally clear.

Tear down the border, empty the prisons, defund national defense, dismantle key institutions, and call it progress.

Most Americans still believe a country should have borders, laws, courts, a military, and consequences for crime.

If that now counts as extremism to the socialist left, then the political contrast for the next election just became very easy to explain.
