Issue 63: Letters


Finish the American Revolution

Jacobin’s latest print issue is a welcome addition to the growing conversation about the need for a new and democratic constitution. The constitutional system frustrates the working class’s struggle for freedom, equality, and self-rule.

Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) also has a part to play in building that movement. I’m a member of the Marxist Unity Group, which places an emphasis on these demands and stands behind DSA’s Workers Deserve More program, which calls for the drafting of a new constitution that abolishes the Senate and subordinates the executive and Supreme Court to a unicameral legislature elected by universal and equal suffrage. Let’s keep pushing.
