Right-wing commentators are saying Kamala Harris’s endorsement of “equity” is tantamount to Marxism. This is nonsense: Democrats’ narrow advocacy of equity has little to do with the socialist goal of meeting everyone’s basic needs.

    Harris’s party is predominantly center-right. They believe in capitalism, private land ownership, individual rights, a limited role for government in regulating the economy, and the rest of the liberal-democratic consensus.

    The leftmost faction within her party, the DSA, are social-democrats, a center-left position.

    There are no revolutionary socialists among US federal elected officials. The notion that the Democratic Party is “leftist” is a fantasy of the far right.
