DSA Co-Chair Defends Socialism, Seeks 32-Hour Week as Police and Prisons Become Less Necessary

Q: What are the proposed replacements for the Senate and Supreme Court under a new socialist-designed constitution?

Under the DSA platform described in the supporting material, the Senate would be eliminated rather than replaced by a new upper chamber, and the Supreme Court would be replaced by a judiciary selected by Congress and subordinate to it. The same framework says the presidency would also be replaced by an executive chosen by Congress. In effect, the proposal points to a redesigned system centered on congressional authority, with both the executive and judicial branches answerable to the legislature. That description comes from the DSA’s “Workers Deserve More!” platform, which calls for drafting a new constitution and creating what it terms a “democratic socialist republic.”

Ashik Siddique said the Democratic Socialists of America is distinct from the Soviet Union and aims to make police and prisons “less necessary” rather than abolish them outright.
On Fox News' “The Will Cain Show,” he framed the group’s agenda around Medicare for all, tuition-free college and a 32-hour work week, arguing U.S. workers deserve a stronger economic floor.
Siddique also rejected the idea that DSA backs immediate open borders, saying the current system is already open to capital and CEOs while workers remain unprotected.
His defense comes as socialist influence grows inside the Democratic Party, with 3 New York congressional candidates endorsed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani winning Democratic primaries.
