MUG believes in mass politics, and that you need a mass party and mass democratic institutions to create spaces for masses of people to think, write, and govern.

Some people in the "mass politics wing" of dsa have asked how non-legislative tenant organizing "builds dsa." A zionist in the ny daily news makes a great case here:.

Do other countries have Alexi lalas equivalents (racist commentator for secondarily popular sport nation isnt successful at).
American soccer viewership would immediately go up if they stopped doing this clown shit with that MAGA moron @AlexiLalas

Every 2 months a yimby posts something thats like what if cities invented warehousing the poor in congregate units with very strict rules. If anyone tells them about Rikers it'll ruin the bit.
Cities should be allowed to build housing for adults like this. We do it for hostels, and it can serve as "housing of last resort." Very cheap rent, by the bed. There'd have to be strictly enforced rules if paired with strangers, but it's not impossible.

Im doing a reading group on (19th century) revolutionary abolitionism as part of nyc-dsa's set of summer reading groups. The writing of abolitionists has really inspired my activism and I think it will inspire you. You can rsvp here:

Racist from out of town demands new yorkers eat with knife and fork sounds like a character from a late career Charlie Chaplin film.
Civilized people in America don’t eat like this. If you refuse to adopt Western customs, go back to the Third World.

the socialist led london council funded a huge police accountability project in the 80s - example of something that could be built out and be used to win the campaign's goals. question is how to build it to last past the end of a mayorality

the cops, for example, are going to work overtime to delegitimize, denounce, etc the community safety stuff. They already do this with violence interrupters. tell ppl oh these ppl can't do anything, only we can. you need independent organization to fight that back.

we hosted a training for volunteers from a dsa electoral campaign on how to organize your building. the candidate himself came and participated in it. it was great and built some organizers. going to have to scale things like that.

this is dsa's job, and it doesn't mean throwing people into constant mobilization, but bringing people into spaces where you can think and act politically, and learn how to build the independent working class infrastructure that can beat the rich.
One of the biggest limitations of almost all electoral efforts—including Obama & Bernie's campaigns—is that they dismantle their volunteer armies after election day. Instead, Zohran could actively transform his huge GOTV machine into a deep organizing campaign to win his agenda.

Literally the opposite of how Zohran won. These people can try to brand him a new kind of Democratic leader, but they have no conception of the democratic socialist organization that built this campaign. Leave this party in the dust.
What’s amazing about this is that it’s the same thing that builds successful social movements. You don’t need to be especially well organized or have some massive bureaucracy. You just need a clear and inspiring message of what the goal is and how to get there and people will.

Zohran wins exactly 18 votes (chai) in 770's election district. It's a sign! The tunnel will be built!
