Fallacies of the Democratic Socialists of America, part 7

Part 7: "Our [DSA] Perspective:" Working fighters

"We are workers fighting to transform society: to win the battle for democracy, draft a new constitution, and create a democratic socialist republic." - DSA https://program.dsausa.org/

Recall when some Democrats, from which this DSA branches, cried foul when Trump mentioned "fight" on several occasions in his January 6, 2021 speech in Washington D.C. Perhaps not the best word, under the circumstances, to choose to employ. But, what do we have here? Monkey see, monkey do-ism? Words mean things, and all of us need to remember we cannot just reinvent meaning to suit ourselves. Not as members of a society as diverse as America. Recall in Obama's 2008 campaign that he was running to "fundamentally change America." What is more fundamental to America than its Constitution? I'll defer an answer for a later Part in this commentary.

We are already not just a democracy, but also a republic; a unique combination of the two. Do y'all know the difference? There is. So, what "battle" are we in, pray tell, to "win" what we already are? And why, then, should "a new constitution" be necessary if we already are the "democracy" our current U.S. Constitution already enshrines? Oh, but this missive of the socialists will tell us, later, that this includes the suggestion to remove the Congress [Article I], the Presidency [Article II], and the Judiciary [Article III], as part of their "new constitution." The means are already documented to alter the Constitution [Article V], so why the need to re-invent it from scratch? Perhaps because since ratification of the Constitution with the Bill of Rights [Amendments I through X] in 1791, it has proven difficult to amend, with only 17 additional amendments in 235 years; about 1 every 14 years. It's been 34 years since ratification of the XXVIIth Amendment; the last. This is exactly as it should be, else the Constitution would be as worthless as the socialists already claim it is. So much for unsubstantiated claims. Such as this whopper: men can become pregnant and bear children. Show me. Y'all claim women should not give birth [abortion], but men should, and do? More back-end of bull product.
