Chicago Conference – Democrats Embrace DSA – Dividends
Socialism 2026 Conference Kicks Off in Chicago Featuring Marxism Classes, Anti-Israel Panels, and DSA Endorsement
Chicago has seen a lot come and go – the World’s Fair, Al Capone, a functioning city budget. This weekend, it’s hosting something arguably more destructive than all three.
A four-day gathering is descending on the Windy City, and its organizers aren’t even pretending to hide what they’re about. The conference website proudly declares it’s the place for “seasoned radicals and new activists to sharpen analysis, hone strategy, and build community.” Their words, not mine. Not sharpen job skills. Not build businesses. Sharpen radical analysis.

Yes, Real Socialism Has Been Tried—And It Has Failed Every Time
Over the past 100 years or so, socialist experiments around the world unleashed a vast tide of tyranny, starvation, and mass murder on a scale never seen before in human history. Socialism was implemented in the Soviet Union, East Germany, Bulgaria, Hungary, Maoist China, Chavez-Maduro’s Venezuela, and other places. In every one of these places, it has failed. As American writer Joshua Muravchik observes in his 2019 Wall Street Journal article on socialism, “It’s hard to think of another idea that has been tried and failed as many times in as many ways or at a steeper price in human suffering.”

Socialism Meets The Constitution: How Far Could The Movement Actually Go In The U.S.?
As Americans express growing dissatisfaction with current economic fairness, legal and political analysts are examining how socialist policies intersect with the framework of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Under the current U.S. legal system, the implementation of socialist policies operates through existing constitutional mechanisms. The Constitution grants Congress the power to levy taxes and spend for the general welfare under Article I, Section 8, and to regulate interstate commerce under the Commerce Clause.
These powers form the legal basis for mixed-economy programs, progressive taxation, labor regulations, and social safety nets such as Medicare and Social Security.
Traditional socialist models—such as the nationalization of private industry or direct state ownership of the means of production—face explicit constitutional limits.
Trump Dividend: America Is Winning — and Americans Should Win With It
“Because we’ve done so well, and because our country is making so much money, only I can make this promise to you, and here is my promise: if the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate… I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000.” — President Donald J.
