Was going to be late no matter which way I sliced it. Excited for the Denver DSA! My wife and I will definitely be there on Saturday.

Jenner posted:Just joined in DC. Have been a socialist for as long as I can remember. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. It probably won't be at the next monthly meeting as that weekend I will be down in NC with my church for the moral march, but probably at the next one and any assorted activities and marches I can make. And I'll probably be at the Happy Hour in The Big Hunt on the 22nd. Seek my out if you like! (No really, please do; I'm lonely and all my friends live out of state  )

Pener Kropoopkin posted:Why not both? Technically, national bylaws prohibit DSA members from also being members of democratic centralist organizations. Your local chapter can override these, though! But in practice, nobody in your chapter would probably care enough to ask you to choose between them. Ruzihm has issued a correction as of 17:16 on Feb 1, 2017 |

Then again when was the last time that reforming into socialism worked even as well as the limited success of a revolution. I doubt you'll be able to use the process made by the people in power to take them out if power. I'll still join the dsa tho

Weeping Wound posted:yeah that pretty much changed my mind quicker than poo poo Changed your mind about PSL or DSA? If what Yoss said is making you reconsider joining DSA, I don't even know if Yoss is in DSA, but even if he is I encourage that you go to your local DSA chapter and ask them what they think about PSL before finalizing your decision.

I doubt you'll be able to use the process made by the people in power to take them out if power. My impression of the common DSA member is that they are sort of trotskyist in that they want to engage in a transitional program before engaging in revolution. but again DSA membership is pretty varied so i'm probably overgeneralizing on that.

Im an anarcho syndaclist but I know that the US will never directly transition from capitalism to anarcho syndaclist, so for me, and a lot of DSA members, the DSA is about taking direct action to counter capitalism and fight for workers and the impoverished, which unless you're accelerationist seems like the best action to take in our current govt/society.

This is more support/infrastructure, but I'm working with the NYC chapter to start a permanent fundraising committee and I want to do things like...fundraiser screenings of Inglourious Basterds around the city.

yeah we're looking at organizing feeds for the homeless (which are illegal in houston), longterm goals of getting free tuition at local community colleges, and then we participate in a lot of other group actions with other single issue orgs. also do happy hours and potlucks, social stuff to keep people engaged and having a good time. all that stuff is important.
