Democratic Socialists of America

Class is the official podcast of the National Political Education Committee of the Democratic Socialists of America. We believe working people should run both the economy and society democratically to meet human needs, not to make profits for a few. Class is a podcast where we ask socialists about why they are socialists, what socialism looks like, and how we, as the working class, can become the ruling class.

What role does political education have in bringing non-socialists into DSA to build our party — or at least, bringing them closer to us, or not in opposition?

Socialist Librarianship

Class ·

2025/09/19

Send us a text Libraries are quintessentially public goods and common spaces in the US, and are generally appreciated, if not beloved, by the vast majority.

What role can a socialist librarian play as a worker and advocate, particularly at a moment when broad swathes of the public education infras...
