We're All Social Democrats Now.

The author reflects on democratic socialism in the U.S. He argues that American leftists, except for those sectarians who rant to themselves, are all social democrats in their everyday practice. He also discusses ways for social democrats in the country to define the possible and seek to achieve it, such as recognizing that changes never occur unless social movements pursue a strategy that wins concessions from the authorities, and the need to prioritize on efforts for reforms that will improve the lives of the people.
