DSA National finally does something good and reddit loses its mind
Holding electeds even marginally accountable is bad acktuallllyyy ... This is just so exhausting.
You're viewing a single thread.
The DSA is probably the most relevant socialist political organization in north america, but there's a point C.Derrick Varn makes that I find very astute and is proven by the comments in that reddit post, if the DSA ever adopts a program, regardless of what's in it, it would immediately split
its potential is quite untapped to many hexbears here, like right now the marxist group is kicking out the social democrat leadership
Didn’t the post you’re replying to make the point that if that group obtained leadership and exercised power, it would split?
if that group obtained leadership and exercised power, it would split?
I meant more, if it clarified its direction and goal, it would split because it's big enough and does enough different things (or is a vehicle for people to do different things) that people join it for all types of reasons whether that be tenant organizing or electing progressive democrats, so people would probably leave if the org stopped facilitating one or the other
Still true that it has a lot of potential
it really doesn't have the centralization to do anything about that anyway. Its either the marxists taking over or the collaborators
You probably know more than I do, and I’d always prefer the Marxists lmao
nah dsa infighting is fuckin weird
like stalinists and trots are just two of the several factions that somehow don't explode next to each other
I'm aware, it's something to look forward to but it's bound to result in a lot of soft leftists leaving because it won't be a democrat electing machine
The DSA has set back progress for a generation acting like an arm of the DNC. It took the Bernie energy and squandered it, leaving actual leftist parties to starve and rot.
working as intended.
