The red rose of the Socialist International and the words "Democratic Socialism works!" on a two-toned mug. I made it to cheer me up in the morning as capitalism collapses and the government flails at the problem with "bipartisan" gifts to the rich. Now that we've run through all the ways that don't work (fascism, Communism, capitalism), why not try the solution? The US affiliate of the Socialist International is the Democratic Socialists of America . Unlike most Socialist International affiliates, It's not a political party, but works (usually) through the progressive wing of the Democratic Party.
