In the United States, the left, disillusioned by identity struggles, rediscovers an interest in Marxist thought

In September 2025, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution condemning socialism, particularly targeting the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). This reflects growing anxiety among Republicans and some Democrats about the resurgence of socialism, especially after DSA member Zohran Mamdani's election as New York City mayor. His victory has energized the Democratic Party, leading to significant success for DSA-backed candidates in primaries, reminiscent of the Tea Party's impact on the Republican Party in 2010. The left-leaning magazine The Nation describes these candidates as 'the insurgents,' suggesting that their rise is revitalizing the Democratic Party rather than undermining it.
