One of the many things we can learn from the recent elections in the United States is that the socialist revival which began there a few years ago, spearheaded first by Bernie Sanders in the Senate and then by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) in the House, has by no means run out of steam. The small but energetic Democratic Socialists of America contingent within the House Democrats, and in roles within the states and communities, has not gone away. Sanders and AOC continue to be very vocal and visible in political debate and action from their socialist perspectives. The widely anticipated Republican wave not only failed to sweep away mainstream Democrats; it also failed to dislodge the socialists.
