Partisan is the publication of the Emerge caucus within the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). Our aim with Partisan is to establish a forum for communist discussion and action uniting us with those who share our vision for revolution: social change is only possible if the wretched of the earth are well-organized and ready enough to win power. Our vision for change centers the development of strong working-class institutions, the myriad facets of oppression under capitalism intertwined with class, and meaningful internationalist analysis in solidarity with historically progressive forces on a world scale.
This publication will analyze and discuss our vision through the projects Partisans of the emerging movement transforming our society have undertaken. We will draw on the experiences and insights of our comrades around the world to reflect and hash out strategies for future organizing. In addition, we will also offer critical analysis into the structure and operations of the communist movement as we see it now. We hope to outline a vision of coordinated efforts within our movement we believe are necessary to build genuine working-class power.
We hope this publication serves as a resource for organizers of all types: whether inside or outside DSA; either new to political organizing or seasoned cadre; those not yet sure how to improve upon current projects or how to join existing organizations; and those looking to disrupt their understanding of what is to be done. We will offer tools for organizing within coalitions among other aligned comrades and formations, along with developing internal democracy, and forge a dialogue with those interested in discussing our work.
As active organizers, we are committed with an unshakable resolve to the communist horizon. It is in this spirit that we present Partisan: not to interpret the world, but to change it.
