'''Democratic Socialists of America''' ('''DSA''') is a big-tent political organization in the [[United States]]. It is multi-tendency, although much of it is in alignment with [[Social democracy|social democratic]] and [[Reformism|reformist]] positions. It is one of the largest [[Leftism|left-wing]] organizations in the United States, claiming to have over 90,000 members in 2026.<ref>Peter Sterne (January 27, 2026). [https://www.cityandstateny.com/politics/2026/01/dsas-membership-nearly-doubled-start-mamdani-campaign/410966/ "DSA’s membership nearly doubled since start of Mamdani campaign"]. ''City & State New York''. Retrieved August 26, 2026.</ref>

In the 2020s, DSA gained widespread attention with the election of its members into relatively important government posts, most notably [[Zohran Mamdani]] in New York City.

==Caucuses==
Several ideological caucuses of DSA exist, some of which explicitly proclaiming themselves [[Marxism|Marxist]]. This includes [[Red Star Caucus]] and the [[Marxist Unity Group]].

==Criticism==
[[Revolution|Revolutionary]] [[Socialism|socialists]] have been critical of DSA for its endorsement of politicians in the [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic Party]]. Some have even described the organization as [[Social-fascism|"social-fascist"]], arguing that its reformist approach ultimately weakens the workers' movement against the [[far-right]].<ref>[https://the-partisan.org/2026/07/29/social-fascist-trend-grows-among-democrats/ "Social Fascist Trend Grows Among Democrats"] (July 29, 2026).
