Zikan posted:can someone tell me what the difference between praxis and momentum is besides momentum's call for a national single payer campaign and praxis's call for police/jail reform There's a lot of overlap--both want to leave the Socialist International, support BDS, enact (optional) monthly dues to pay for national organizers, and break with the Harringtonite old guard in favor of more open Marxism. So it's largely a question of different emphasis. Momentum comes out of Jacobin/left caucus, which back in 2010 was truly on the left of DSA but now seems to represent the center thanks to a general radical shift. One of their focuses is on internal constitutional reforms like eliminating honorary chairs, expanding the NPC, and making the org more transparent and democratic for all members (they are behind the Spring Platform). Praxis focuses on base-building, as in growing a mass party of formerly apolitical people through tenants' unions, worker centers, free breakfast programs, free English classes for immigrants, etc. Praxis is somewhat less interested in immediately running candidates and a bit more openly anti-imperialist than Momentum. I'm going mostly from memory and subjective impressions here so correct me if I misrepresented/missed something big. Personally I like them both and will probably vote for some combination of the two. platzapS has issued a correction as of 19:10 on Jul 28, 2017 |

re: geographic representation I'm from a big city chapter, and I want to support having people from rural/smaller chapters involved in major decision making, because I believe that organizing in those regions will be critical, and that they are more likely to understand their own needs and goals than people from the coasts and cities. The posadists are good.

RC's been a lot more active today. It's a good time to get on it with teh convention coming up. If people get on now we will probably get a critical mass such that we can sustain it.

im southern as hell and the east bay DSA and my experiences therein have been mostly good and honestly i think their firm organization structure techniques could really help in rural areas and to spread what is currently more anarchistic orgs like redneck revolt

oh they're the guys who keep insisiting on a march on dc even tho our dc local has told them repeatedly why it's stupid thankfully one of delegates is whipping votes against such a dumb idea and apparently is going to do her best to shut it down https://twitter.com/peg_mclaugh/status/889924519925878785 https://twitter.com/peg_mclaugh/status/890956476235358208 https://twitter.com/peg_mclaugh/status/890956954109177856 https://twitter.com/peg_mclaugh/status/890957175069257729 https://twitter.com/peg_mclaugh/status/890959015676694533

Just got home from a panel DSA SF had with Bay Resistance, SF Rising, ISO, and SF Berniecrats, plus there was a representative, Jovanka Beckles, from Richmond Progressive Alliance, a progressive coalition that was able to take control over a working class city here in the Bay Area. Plus there were some Socialist Alternative people that showed up as well as a few Marxists who were unaffiliated, and it was like... really good. Turnout was about 160 people, roughly 35 from DSA SF as best I could tell. Crazy turnout for a Friday evening Municipalism panel. Our local's publication livetweeted it. It looks like they messed up and replied to an earlier tweet at some point creating two threads. https://twitter.com/phoenix_sf/status/891108842179772416 https://twitter.com/phoenix_sf/status/891112967080628224 Video and audio exist somewhere as well but idk if they are online yet. Judging by Twitter, everyone from all organizations there seem pretty excited about finding ways to work together. It was incredibly positive. We've got 5 more of these we are arranging, different topics and different orgs each time and with this one having gone so well I'm pumped about next month's.

I wished we had more time to dive deeper into some things, which is always a good sign for a panel. woke kaczynski has issued a correction as of 22:33 on Jul 29, 2017 |
