Aug. 12 (UPI) -- For most Latin Americans, the Democratic Socialists of America probably seems like a distant feature of domestic U.S. politics. That may be a mistake.
DSA has grown dramatically in recent years. On July 4, the organization announced that it had reached 120,000 members, an all-time high. It remains small compared with America's two major political parties. But its growing membership and electoral ambitions make it increasingly difficult to dismiss as marginal.
From Latin America, however, DSA is interesting for another reason. Many of the political and economic arguments now gaining traction on the American left sound remarkably familiar to those who have lived through similar debates for generations.
As a Chilean, I find this especially striking.
