Sure, the overwhelming current of DSA is still "America is broken and we need to fix it," with only a rare smattering of revolutionary defeatists shouting into the void. But it doesn't deliberately worship the most regressive elements of society under the guise of "patriotism.".

For all my critique, at least DSA *has* communists in it, even if the org itself is structurally anticommunist. ACP will "never tolerate a single Zionist in their ranks" because they think the otherwise glorious US is being subverted and ensorcelled by queer Jewish necromancers.

"Can we get a vanguard?". "We have vanguard at home". The vanguard at home:.

This was a temporary peace in between decades of literally KILLING each other, so they could face down a genocidal imperial invader. Is the DSA Big Tent™️ fighting a literal war? When it's over, are you prepared to fight a literal war against those same "people to our right"?.

The fact that people appropriated unc but not auntie is linguistically fascinating.

"the opposite happened" among the MOST religious subpopulations, not the least.

New blood just dropped.

RT @BmoreOrganized: I too once fell into the trap of "prisons are a way to extract slave labor." It *feels* like such an elegant explanatio….

Scrum master Martin Luther is about to force push 95_Theses.tar.gz to the main branch of the church repo.

Also, if we were to just start rejecting anti-anti-Nazis willy-nilly, we'd lose most of our leadership! Didja ever think about that, you ultras???.

And anyway, if you don't like how many of our people are opposed to kicking out Nazis, you should join us! Otherwise you're a hypocrite, and honestly worse than the Nazis.

Good news from the 1943 convention! Our organization just voted to adopt an anti-Nazi position, and it passed with 56% in favor!. Don't worry, the other 43% don't *actually* support the Nazis; they were just worried that if this passed, we'd start purging Nazis. Which we won't!.

Found the 43%

Western pop leftism is basically "we need to address the growing gap between the rich and the grotesquely rich".

I'd still say you're wasting your energy, fighting tooth and nail to wrest control of a liberal org, whose founding principles are directly opposed to your aims. But at least I'd know you aren't falling victim to cognitive dissonance, forcing you to rationalize this as "a win.".

I might be singing a different tune if I saw any of the "DSA Left™️" treating the 43% vote as an extraordinary slap in the fact, rather than an unparalleled victory. And I'm sure the actual comrades I know struggling it out in DSA are thinking that way privately.

6 people are sitting down for dinner with 4 fascists, and they'd rather yell at the people who point that out than consider for even a second that they might be at the wrong table.

In case you're wondering why I'm so hard on DSA, it might have something to do with the way its members treat discussions of genocide as hysteria.

"Great wins for the left this year!". Half of you are fascists and the other half is celebrating over chipping away at that number, a few percent every two years.
