Axe Master posted:I'm about to pull the trigger on signing up for the Boston chapter, any regulars have advice on how/where to get started? Boston has general meetings once a month and at the end they almost always do a little bit for new people where everyone from the various working groups introduces themselves and mentions what group they're in. My advice is to show up to one of the general meetings and then try and get involved with one or more of the working groups that interest you. Their facebook page tends to be pretty well updated on most of their events, the next general meeting is February 24th.

Because so far her platform seems very very farther to the left than 99% of NYDEM's iirc she got off on the wrong foot making GBS threads on transit unions right at the start of her campaign but seems to have walked it back maybe

Ghost Leviathan posted:You people saying you shouldn't bother with easily rolled back reforms and stay charging your revolutionary crystals sound like democrats talking about political capital yeah they totally sound like democrats. as we know, the real path forward for socialism is to gain incremental changes by electing democrats.

Because one of these things sucks and the other is good Ace of Baes posted:I don't know what that is and I'm poor, I tell you what though I will keep using my free time and labor to organize for socialism though and then charities will be unnecessary Here let me google that for you: https://swopusa.org/about-us/ I found out about them through Boston DSA. If you lack money, they also organize letter writing campaigns to incarcerated sex workers for free, which is also a good use of your time and labor.

Anyway, I mentioned SWOP’s letter writing campaigns - with the holidays coming up, they also help organize holiday letter writing to sex workers behind bars. It’s totally free and it’s a great thing to do at a general meeting - in Boston a couple years ago we sent like 60+ letters and cards after one meeting. It’s a really nice thing to do. (Just don’t put anything in the letter about “after the revolution, we’ll have to find something else for you to do!”, it kinda kills the vibe)

I left the Boston chapter years ago because it was full of drama-obsessed dickheads but maybe that's changed Boston Socialist Alternative seems pretty cool
