Socialist Shop Talk
Come chat with comrades about socialism through the lens of current events! In this new series, we will read a short text together, then discuss and analyze it from a socialist point of view.
This is a low-key environment where comrades can develop their skills of applying socialist analysis to current events, while having an outlet to discuss and process everything that’s happening in the world together. This event is open to all, whether you’re socialism-curious, new to DSA, or a longtime member.
In this post-primary election session, we’ll discuss an article written by a DSA SF comrade discussing the role of electoral politics in progressing toward and winning socialism.

Official statement from the Memphis-Midsouth Democratic Socialists of America in response to the continued killing of our neighbors by federal officials
The Memphis-Midsouth Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) mourn every life lost from the federal occupation of our city. Statements feel small in the face of such tragedy, but we will continue to make our opposition clear. Since this occupation began, at least four of our neighbors have been killed by members of this task force, including two this week alone.
These killings make the dangers of militarizing our communities devastatingly clear. Public safety cannot be built through occupation, intimidation, or violence. We reject the continued subjection of Memphis to armed patrols and escalating uses of force while the conditions that create insecurity are ignored. The militarization of Memphis serves a political agenda that treats Black and working-class communities as populations to be controlled, not people to be served.
We stand with the families of Darrin Pigram, Jonah Neal, Tyrin Johnson, and every person harmed by this campaign of militarization. We continue to call upon local and state officials who have failed us: end this military farce, and investigate these killings with full transparency and accountability. We will continue to build power with and for the multiracial working class, alongside the people and organizations fighting for the solidarity, dignity, and true safety that Memphis deserves.
