| Within less that two years, a more-or-less moribund social democratic outfit with the attractive name of [[dsa-history|Democratic Socialists of America]] (DSA) had 50,000 new members and continued to grow rapidly. The revitalized DSA rapidly broke with its past, resigning from the neoliberal Socialist International (which included France’s François Holland and Greece’s Papandreou) and rejecting subservience to the official Democratic Party, while struggling with the issue of what kind of electoral strategy to pursue without falling into the same trap.

| In subsequent US elections, DSA-supported candidates gained ground rapidly. Before long [Bernie Sanders, Michelle Alexander, Rev. William Barber, Barbara Lee...] had won the presidency and DSA loyalists gained a majority in both the US House and Senate. Hopes and fantasies burgeoned among these Utopians and their supporters. But in the daily operations of government, the new DSA regime and its officers were soon confronted by capital flight and other forms of sabotage by the now fearful one percent. The rich and their corporations moved their accounts to offshore banks, sharply cut back on investments and new facilities in the US, and sped up the transfer of portable operations to other countries. State security bodies such as the FBI and NSA leaked information claiming that bots launched and financed by Russia, Iran, and Venezuela had been crucial in DSA's electoral success. President [Sanders...] and the DSA members of Congress spent months defending themselves from these accusations, while trying to entice corporations to return jobs and resources from abroad. Meanwhile, fascists among Trump's supporters sought organize a racist backlash against the new socialist regime. | In subsequent US elections, DSA-supported candidates gained ground rapidly.
