Labor Express Radio Interview:  Marianela D'Aprile, member of the National Political Committee of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), discusses the “Bernie bump”.  Both in 2016 and now again, in 2020, the DSA has seen massive increases in membership.  As a result, the DSA has become the closest thing to a mass socialist party we have seen in the United States in at least 70 years.  At the same time, the organization has worked to avoid the limitations that come with electoralism.  Embracing a “class struggle election work” strategy that privileges movement building as much as winning elections.  The DSA has also launched new partnerships at the national and local level with several unions.  All these topics are discussed in the interview.
