Mask off: DSA leader reveals group’s literal ‘hatred’ for the US Constitution

There was a time when you had to hide your hatred of America to be elected, but not anymore.

In 2025, a Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) leader openly admitted to viewing the Constitution as an “obstacle” while discussing a “DSA faction” called the Marxist Unity Group.

Watch:

“Of the DSA caucuses that believe in democracy as an end goal, MUG is the only one that sees revolution as a necessity to get there. And of the causes in DSA which see the necessity of revolution, we’re the only ones that see democracy as the end goal,” he said. “So the two things we’re famous for are our commitment to a program and our hatred of the United States Constitution.”

“And what the program does is it gives us a roadmap to revolution and it gives us the obstacle that we finally will have to get over to have a revolution, which is the United States Constitution, the basis of the United States government,” he added. “And what the minimum maximum program specifically, what that format specifically, gives us is that roadmap. It gives us the minimum circumstances under which we would be able to take power and govern, and it gives us the maximum program, which is the goals that we’re actually aiming for. It also clarifies democracy as both the end goal and as part of the process to get there, ensuring the internal party democracy that we want to see in DSA. So it really wraps up the revolutionary tradition of democracy that I think socialism and abolitionism in the United States have always been a part of and aims it, you know, at a future that we can live in as a human species because I think absent a revolutionary democratic socialist republic in North America, we may not have a livable future.”

Despite being over a year old, these statements are resurfacing amid a surge in DSA candidate victories around the country.
