Doc Hawkins posted:We were invited to apply to join the Sao Paulo Forum. The leftist parties of the americas like us. Sounds perfect for DSA quote:During the early 1990s, the FSP was seen by some as expressing the emergence of a new Latin American leftist paradigm: non-authoritarian, de-militarized and grassroots-friendly.[4] As others have noted, however, there is a marked contradiction between the fiery and quasi-revolutionary rhetoric about "socialism of the 21st century" indulged in sometimes by many FSP's leaders, and the plain fact that the positions of power held by such leaders depend, on most cases, on their holding positions in governments which have emerged through the electoral road.[5] In a statement made in 2008 in Lima, before a gathering of Peruvian businessmen, however, Brazil's President Lula would declare, approvingly, that the FSP had "educated" the Left in the understanding of the existence of possibilities of running for elections and gaining power through the democratic way - a declaration that prompted a comment from AFP, reproduced at the Rede Globo site, to the effect that the hallmark of FSP's activities had been its "very moderate" character.[6]

how do you transfer between different dsa chapters? if someone was moving from one city to another who introduces them? I’ve heard the DSA in the city I’m moving to sucks, even compared to the one I’m in rn . PawParole has issued a correction as of 11:45 on May 22, 2021 |

https://act.dsausa.org/survey/mailing_address_only/ I think this is the national change of address form. e: there's not really any official standard way for a chapter to like welcome or I vite or introduce a new member. The chapter might have a member onboarding thing, mine has a new member mentorship thing but it's not super effective tbh CaptainJuan has issued a correction as of 17:41 on May 22, 2021 |

Heath posted:I know dick about Peru, how did they end up with a Japanese dictator? Hyper inflation plus a fascist reaction throughout much of the country to Shining Path/MRTA taking over tons of territory and killing lots of people, including elected officials. Basically he was the country's Pinochet and got help from people who wanted order restored and the U.S. Death squads and forced sterilizations of indigenous funded by USAID itself! Apparently he's the only democratically elected head of state to be tried and convicted for human rights violations by his own country to this day, per wikipedia Yossarian-22 has issued a correction as of 03:51 on Jun 6, 2021 |

dsa sent delegates to Caracas which is honestly pretty cool since we really haven’t done much internationalism until now https://twitter.com/gaius_gracchus_/status/1407390872652566528?s=21 lot of outraged libs on Twitter complaining about it they’re especially angry that the delegation got a nice hotel room FrancisFukyomama has issued a correction as of 12:14 on Jun 23, 2021 |

there is simply not an "actual party" to join, and the DSA is probably the most fertile ground to build one on

The NPC interviewed people back in January 2020 and re-founded the International Committee in May 2020 and it has been reaching out to various parties in different countries since. Chile and Cuba are the next two countries that delegations are going to be sent to.

I know that the left in the US is a joke, but you have to start somewhere and an org without a party line and democratic socialist in the name isn't the most appealing. I guess I'll just go to a meeting or something.
