someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like reform and revolution (R&R) is a caucus for socialist alternative members in dsa, which i think makes it extra funny

Yankkkee Leftist goes to Cuba on a political delegation, gets into a fight with their host over how Cuba still has prisons, skips a meeting with President Diaz-Canel. Many such cases!

this npc came into ther term with a massive deficit and without full accounting information and the books have basically had to be redone from scratch, so it was 3 months of getting things up to date then an "oh poo poo" moment in january. the npc minority (comprised of socialist majority caucus and groundwork) has said that they do not want to compromise on the number of layoffs and are only going to advocate for 0 layoffs and moralize the issue to win a larger share of npc seats at the 2025 convention, which has caused the npc majority (comprised of red star, marxist unity group, and bread and roses) to have to decide amongst themselves what is needed to make sure there is still an organization in 2 years, which has been met with accusations that they're just doing whatever they want without regard to compromise either. one member of the npc minority did finally offer a compromise at the thursday night meeting of 6 layoffs instead of 8, but that would force a virtual convention in 2025 or project a very optimistic viewpoint of member retention and fundraising growth, and since the layoffs take 45 days to actually go into effect, there's time to see what the fundraising from the last month actually were before the layoffs happen so time to cancel a couple of layoffs if needed.

fermun posted:

It has been accused by the NPC minority that the current NPC majority want DSA to be a member-led organization instead of a staff-led organization so want staff layoffs to fund member-led initiatives instead of our very successful staff-led initiatives like the DSA 100k campaign, or phonebanking Dems to legalize abortion nationwide, or phonebanking Dems to pass the PRO act, or phonebanking Dems to end support for Gaza genocide

just want to note here that the DSA factions crying "union busting" are also the same ones that threw Palestine organizers in DSA under the bus repeatedly during the last NPC term

When I went to Cuba the leftists were criticizing the hair politics of State-run telenovelas

people should prolly just join PSL at this point. Seems like the only left wing US org with proper Marxist politics that doesn't try to punch above it's weight and, at least to an outsider, seems fairly Normal as it grows through the support of street actions and political education.

business unions still need to operate well enough to cut back room deals and make sure members get the bare minimum of regular raises, benefits and contract enforcement, which, even when done maliciously/venally, takes a lot of organizational acumen. And the ability to enforce their ideology on staff/volunteers

that is legitimately insane. imagine going to the world's most successful communism project and then qq-ing about uh persecuting the capitalists and landlords and how they should be restoring the gusano's casinos
