They exist, they're brand new but already have like 30 members. https://m.facebook.com/denverdemsocialists They have an organizing meeting on the 11th, I know the dude who runs the FB and he should reply pretty quickly, they're cool peeps, drank with them this past weekend.

Boston general meeting this Saturday right? I hope to be there - I'll be the goon with the kid trying to figure out how I can convince the DSA to have an event nursery of some sort if they don't already have one.

I mentioned before that it was the main reason I haven't been able to attend a meeting before. If they need volunteers, I wonder if I need to get licensed or something first to volunteer... I am guessing a background check would be the bare minimum.

The anti-imperialist aspects of a socialist America are seriously underplayed in favor of the welfare side of things. Anti-imperialism is the one thing a socialist state can guarantee, which no other political party or movement is even capable of. Capitalism engenders imperialism by necessity, and the most bleeding heart libs are never going to give it up. Carter was the most pacifist president this country was capable of, and his administration still supported reactionary regimes around the world - including the genocidal reign of Suharto over East Timor.

I'd rather not talk about this at all ever because every "socialist" I've met that also claims to be primarily an "anti-imperialist" is in fact a raging imperialist that supports any imperialism that isn't American and gives lip service to any actual socialist ideals beyond "and I think I should be in charge". Personal experience, though, I know, maybe I'm wrong and I've just been unlucky but it's left a sour taste in my mouth. GlyphGryph has issued a correction as of 20:10 on Feb 7, 2017 |

Those of you who were on an onboarding call, was it valuable to you? Also, what do you do if you're the only socialist around, those of you who are also in a Red state?
