The question resolves as YES if either of these occurs before January 20th, 2029:
1. A qualifying organization is shut down, meaning:
- Forced to cease operations through federal legal action, OR
- Has its assets frozen/seized by federal authorities, OR
- Is legally dissolved by federal court order
2. A qualifying organization is designated as a terrorist organization, meaning:
- Officially labeled as a terrorist organization by any federal agency
- The designation is publicly documented in official government records
A qualifying organization must meet all these criteria:
- Based in the United States
- Publicly self-identifies as socialist in official materials/statements
- Has an established presence (regular meetings, membership structure, public activities)
The question resolves as NO if neither condition occurs to any qualifying organization by January 20th, 2029.

3.00Trying to get a sense of the scope. Which of the following leftist groups would count as qualifying institutions?
Party for socialism and liberation (PSL)
Democratic socialists of America (DSA)
Jewish voice for peace (JVP)
American Muslims for Palestine
Poor people’s campaign
No tech for Apartheid
Black panthers
Any leftist group widely reported in the media as socialist or called socialists by well-respected republican leaders (Musk, Trump, etc)
The black panthers are a good example. They had deep ties to socialism but were not officially designated terrorists. If a group like theirs is designated, would it resolve yes?
@KJW_01294 I would say all of those would qualify except for American Muslims for Palestine, which doesn't seem to have any connection to socialism after exploring their website.
@JussiVilleHeiskanen Socialist is in the name so it qualifies under the spirit of the question in my opinion.
