yeah libertarian socialists are just anarchist socialists who started using the term "libertarian" before the recent association of the term with free markets. read homage to Catalonia, all the CNT-FAI who controlled Catalonia were considered libertarian socialist

My favorite part is how that inspires sound compromise-based ideologies but then those ideologies just end up becoming a new faction.

You guys are taking all the fun out of it by posting your screenshots instead of posting some form of picture of your screenshots. If it's not two levels deep across a real life medium it doesn't count. At the very least make it a screenshot of the post that contains the screenshot!

So the DSA meeting I went to it was pretty clear that theyre having growing pains. They've doubled dues paying members in a month and they're just starting things like labor solidarity efforts and creating bylaws for the chapter (they're on the cusp of being an official chapter iirc)

There's a fuckton of heart and drive to do stuff but there's a noticeable lack of... extroversion, for lack of a better term? The meeting was almost 3 hours and was literally reading off the minutes and explaining some solidarity marches that were coming up. I went to the meeting fired up and desperate to make positive change, but at the end of it I was pretty bored, to be frank.

They need more people persons to get people excited about coming to meetings and wanting to come to the next one and being an HR person, I can help with that. Im planning to go to the structural meeting and I was wondering what other chapters have done when it comes to community outreach and trying to reach new people.

I was pretty much going to make a point that's mostly this post as well as create some sort of streamlined, professional looking handout for meetings (something that could be a template and eventually passed off to the communication committee) as well as suggest better newcomer icebreakers and changing the current monologue of community chairs into a dialogue.

I'm definitely worried about running over people personality-wise and not wanting to come off as some dickhole that went to one meeting and knows everything, but at the same time politics are social exercises and these guys desperately need to attract and retain these kinds of people to offset the very analytical group they have now.

Also I'll have a diet Pepsi and a cheeseburger extra pickles thank you very much

Edit: they're also having a huge "only white dude" problem but I figure baby steps first

Get comfortable in those meetings then start pushing for change you want to see. Even longtime members of the DSA don't know what the gently caress to do with the influx of new members, so this is entirely new and intimidating experience for everyone involved.

Just don't see this as a sign that the DSA is doomed to fail, see it as an opportunity to stretch your legs politically.

a lack of well spoken outgoing leaders is something that the radical left is having trouble with in general. I've been toying with some kind of public speaking class because I sure as poo poo am not comfortable getting up in front of all these folks and giving some kind of speech. It probably has something to do with all sorts of left activists being assassinated and put in jail and living in exile during the civil rights and anti-war movements

Yeah Im awesome at public speaking but I would never even consider becoming the face on anything but the local level, I have a family and don't really want Nazis throwing bricks through my window.

I've got the world on a string.


Someone was asking earlier if I could put together a list of DSA Twitters. Here's what I've got so far (handles, not links). I tried to exclude ones that had little to no activity and any high school chapters. Twitter =/= real life and all, but this can be good to help people find organizing committees in need of members.

Colorado is a bit of a clusterfuck right now, otherwise there would likely be a few more pins around Boulder. There's some kerfuffle about how DSA was formed in the state and bringing up other chapters besides Boulder involves some awkwardness.
