		<description><![CDATA[JASON SCHULMAN I appreciate David Schweickart&#8217;s response to my critique of his &#8220;Economic Democracy&#8221; vision, which helps me to clarify what I see as the problems with it as an &#8220;end-goal&#8221; for the socialist movement. (And I apologize if my tone was perhaps too antagonistic.) First, I&#8217;ll happily acknowledge the gray area between certain &#8220;market [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[JASON SCHULMAN Back when democratic socialism was a young political movement there seemed to be little need to spell out exactly how a socialist economy would work.

It will then bring [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’d like to reply to David Duhalde’s thoughtful and insightful piece in The Activist.&#160; I appreciate the time he took to engage with my arguments.&#160; Since what we all need now is an activist and intellectually forceful left, such debates are particularly welcome. I want to begin by noting what was perhaps not sufficiently stressed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sheri Berman has published a reply to this article in The Activist. The harbinger of the Bowdoin College chapter of the Young Democratic Socialists abandoning the national organization was when we first discussed a name change.

It has not been formally endorsed by the coordinating committee of the Young Democratic Socialists.
