In the event anyone wishes to discuss so-called 'socialist' Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, she is a member of the DSA and has won the nomination for the Democrats party (Sanders, Clinton, Obama etc.) so I guess she is dual carding (member of more than one political party).

Sorry about long link, don't know how to change it to post on here!
She calls herself a socialist, or member of a so called socialist party but on her website doesnt mention the word socialism. Just another social democratic trying to reform capitalism. Another beauty parlour for capitalism like Bernie Sanders. She is a member of the Socialist Democratic of America but she is running in the platform of a capitalist party.

Apparently you can't any longer unless you're an existing user.

Thanks – but seems like it's not possible now anyway, and, quite frankly, is it a bother for anyone to get a long link compared with a short link? I don't know the answer to that but I do know a lot more clicking is needed to change a long link into a short one and then put it on here!
An update – Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Makes Excuses for Scrubbing Website of Anti-War Stance – Makes Things Worse Posted on June 29, 2018 by willyloman When Mr. Smith goes to Washington, he doesn’t change it. Washington changes him. However Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez seems to be changing before she even gets on the bus. Looks like she was made by the fake progressive group called the Democratic Socialists of America and had to cut a deal with them to curb her anti-war stance to get their neoliberal water-carrying assistance. As David Swanson told her in a Tweet, she better forget that deal and take up her previous position on the endless wars of aggression or the REAL LEFT is going to let her go on her own from here on out.
The Trostkyists also have their own candidate for Congress. This one is a little more radical than Alexandria Ocasio and he is not running for the Democratic Party. If he gets to Washington they will change him too, and Trotskyists have a long history of making alliance with the ruling class https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2018/06/27/elec-j20.html

The 'International Committee of the Fourth International' (or less grandiosely, Northism, after its leader's name) is trotskyist but heterodox in that they oppose all forms of communalism (for want of a better term off hand) — nationalism, genderism, IdPolism etc — and unlike normal leftists they don't take sides in inter-state fights. That being so, I consult their site daily, and there is often an item of some value. Of course anything touching upon the USSR has to be avoided; and most any article on any (political) subject at all will sooner or latter begin singing the lenino-trotskyist liturgy. If you would like to protect your eyes and your psyche from gazing upon icons of Saint Leon, you can access their site this way: http://www.wsws.org/en/?view=mobilehome . No images! One good article they ran was this review against the cretinous and wholly objectionable blockbuster 'Wonder Woman'. http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2018/02/22/pant-f22.html?view=article_mobile . Among other things they point out its anti-German theme. Content aside, for those with the right sense of humor, the frenetic, outraged, or even hysterical tone in which they often write can be very diverting. (Would someone please tell me how to make paragraph breaks?)

There is only one article about Alexandria Ocaso, the rest is not related to her. This doesn't sound like the WSWS. What is happening in this forum?
