"In the past year, the Democratic Socialists of America has gone from being an obscure leftist organization to the hot new millennial trend. Since Donald Trump's election, the DSA has capitalized on the leftward tilt of the youth, and its membership has surged from 8,000 to more than 25,000 (one of those new members is, full disclosure, me). As new chapters begin popping up all over the country—and roses, the group's symbol proliferate all over Twitter—the question remains: How will these recently organized socialists put their ideology into practice?

Kaitlin Marone, a comedian who is also a councilmember-at-large for the New Orleans DSA, had one answer to that question: last weekend's free brake light repair clinic, which was widely praised by her comrades across the country as "good as hell praxis," "extra spicy praxis," and "dank as hell praxis." These are, in the Marxist and meme-drenched slang of the extremely online movement, high compliments. It's one of the most novel events put on by a DSA chapter to date, and also a way to help people in a real way."
