\n Fresh off of surprising upset victories in this summer\u2019s Democratic primaries for state Assembly and Senate, the city\u2019s Democratic Socialists are targeting the City Council primaries next year, when 35 of the 51 seats will be without an incumbent.<\/p>\n

The Democratic Socialists of America-NYC is planning to back a slate of council candidates who, if elected, would create a \u201csocialist caucus\u201d down at City Hall.<\/p>\n

According to the strategy document obtained by The Post, one litmus test will be agreement to \u201cdefund the police\u201d by 50 percent, slashing the NYPD\u2019s budget by $3 billion.<\/p>\n

Will they succeed? Well, it\u2019s not as though the city has lacked for left-leaning, socialist and even Marxist elected officials. Retiring Bronx Rep. Jose Serrano has famously feted both Cuban dictator Fidel Castro and Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez in his congressional district. Brooklyn Assemblyman Charles Barron and his wife, Councilwoman Inez Barron, are black nationalists who have spoken admiringly of Castro.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the highest-ranking DSA-aligned elected official, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, app<\/a>ears to have given her blessings to the effort. And Tiffany Cab\u00e1n, who came close to winning the special election for Queens district attorney, announced her decision to run for City Council.<\/p>\n

One veteran operative, who\u2019s still looking for a mayoral candidate to back, says the DSA has the advantage of being unified \u2014 from strategy to messaging \u2014 and having tons of money. \u201cThey\u2019re in a pretty decent position to win a number of council seats,\u201d he told me.<\/p>\n

But a socialist revolution isn\u2019t what many New Yorkers, even Democrats, want.<\/p>\n

Some in the city\u2019s minority communities, where DSA-backed candidates won recent primaries, are chafing at radical white socialists picking their \u201cleaders.\u201d In anticipation of this latest DSA plan, a couple of Brooklyn elected officials told me that they and their allies are gearing up for a political battle next year.<\/p>\n

The DSA also has alienated some with its stance on Israel, and ignited a firestorm last month by distributing a questionnaire asking City Council candidates if they will pledge to not visit Israel and support a boycott of the Jewish state.<\/p>\n

That led about roughly 50 state lawmakers to sign a joint letter condemning the DSA\u2019s anti-Israel litmus test. The group later issued an unconvincing clarification, claiming the question was about ending taxpayer-funded political junkets, not targeting the Jewish state.<\/p>\n

At the end of the day, the average Democrat isn\u2019t looking for revolutionary change \u2014 she simply wants a government that\u2019s honest and picks up the garbage. Black voters in areas seeing spikes in gun violence and murders don\u2019t want to be told that the young shooters are simply misunderstood angst-ridden kids. And they certainly don\u2019t want to \u201cdefund the police.\u201d They want cops on the beat who\u2019ll quell the violence without resorting to brutality.<\/p>\n

Voters in many parts of the city also emigrated from failed socialist states. They\u2019ve seen this rhetoric before.<\/p>\n

A couple of DSA-backed insurgents may win by virtue of the ranked-choice voting, but their socialist revolution will have to wait.<\/p>\n

Michael Benjamin, a former assemblyman, is a member of The Post\u2019s editorial board. <\/em>\n <\/div>\n
