it's very odd to me that a widespread belief seems to be taking hold amongst the 'og marxists' in DSA that casting a vote is a moral expression of one's goals rather than a tactical expression of acknowledgement of material reality, especially as regards the climate crisis.

It’s really odd to me that a widespread belief appears to be that supporting the Democrats moves our society incrementally closer to socialism. There is no evidence for this argument.

This is accelerationism from a national political committee member of DSA, should be named as such, and should be squarely denounced as an inappropriate position to take for someone elected to carry forward the health and well-being of the largest socialist org in the US.

The US socialist movement does not have the right to sit out whether or not the president who recognized Jerusalem as Israeli capital and empowered worst blocs of the Israeli apartheid will be re-elected. Moralizing about it through smokescreen of NLRB q is worse than useless.

Instead of moralizing about “voting” or “volunteering” for genocide, people should be making plans for how to use the relative power and autonomy of toeholds in the state to consolidate the 40% of the organized working class to push for an arms embargo. Seems simple!
New in DemLeft: Abdulla F. and Griffin M. say that enacting an arms embargo on Israel is gaining popular support in the United States. It should be our central demand and organizing goal.

I think at least moderately socially conservative Marxism is probably the wave of the future just given the excesses of liberalism and feminism.

I may not know much but I know that the dsa co chair doomer posting on main while the Uncommitted movement does the most inspiring DNC delegate organizing since 1964 is something that should be loudly and publicly criticized by cadre across all factions

I may not know much, but I do know the most important thing we can be doing right now is cynically settling scores by interpreting tweets with the worst possible faith. This will surely be the thing that finally topples the autocratic regime of @meganromer and liberates DSA.

This is happening during a Democratic presidency. Even if Harris is elected, the Supreme Court will continue to dismantle our rights until a mass movement is strong enough to stop them. Working class power will win reproductive freedom.

why a dsa caucus with 0 presence in the national level infrastructure of the uncommitted movement would try to use internal polarization + maneuvering to establish this is beyond me, but i hope it isn't something that people take seriously.

@avgfella Tbf it’s not about their voting, it’s an effort to establish political leadership over the base of the Uncommitted movement. It’s just not likely to be an effective one, also runs into optical issues for a variety of reasons pertaining to people’s perception of electoral matters.

The left objectively did better under Trump. People are scared to say that b/c they think it has accelerationist implications. That doesn’t need to be the case, but it does tell us that a dramatic change of strategy is needed And don’t say “labor” after O’Brien spoke at RNC

There were many nay-sayers throughout the process, but one of the most unfortunate ones I heard was that there was no point in engaging because it was out of our hands and would just be decided by donors or Nancy Pelosi (god bless her for jumping in though).

Calling something demobilizing during a week of action when the point is mobilization and expression of our power and months of work seems to be a clear expression of political difference and disagreement, perhaps interlocutors are actually masking their opinions on org model!

@weathertruther Everybody has the right to criticism but y’all should know most DSA members recognize “demobilizing and disorganizing behavior” as GW-speak for “I disagree with this”. Would be better received if you spelled out the political differences earnestly.

The accusations of anti-semitism, by the way, are patently absurd and do not deserve a response. There were other Jewish candidates on the shortlist and we did not target them, and our deliberately polarizing framing around Shapiro’s positions on Gaza were soon joined by a host

the lack of organizational discipline from some of our national elected leadership right now in DSA is frankly pretty embarrassing and it's not the ones who are speaking on stage at the March on the DNC or the ones that are supporting delegate organizing.

Becoming a mom this year showed me just how far DSA needs to go to be an actual working class org. Parents, those with 2 jobs, or who don’t work a 9-5… a lot of these people have capacity to do work but we don’t always have a way to plug them in.

A space can only be the center of the left by allowing people to debate each other on equal terms. You want your organization to not have factions? Cool. You now have informal cliques & have driven yourself into the corner, only ever able to make interventions towards the center

That momentum led to a new group of people being absorbed rapidly from the original crisis organizing experiment and from new groupchats and informally organized groups of people, again from a bloc spanning a wide spectrum of leaders on the left.

We can see this division in terms of who participated in and argued in favor of the self-organized activity of DSA members and non-DSA members in a series of Signal group chats and other organizing mechanisms, versus those who polemicized against the crisis organizing work.
