The DSA is the american chapter of the Socialist International, and since the French Socialist Party just nominated a real left-wing guy for president, why not support him

those kind of international party orgs are pretty irrelevant. there are a lot, lot of poo poo parties that are part of socialist international

I feel like Momentum in the UK has done a drat good job of moving Labour left, and thats despite Corbyn not being exactly the greatest politician, and DSA seems to be following in its example. Hell Momentum only has 20k members, and the DSA is nearly there (ignore that the US has 10x the UK population).

Being represented exclusively by delegates who can afford to spend a week in Chicago is not good enough for a Marxist organization.

sure but what alternatives are there other than like A Digital Convention (bleh) or shoving it all in one sunday or something (which would still require travel costs and at a skipping a day or so of work for most).

quote:

The PaTH scheme was the centrepiece of the Turnbull Government's 2016 Budget, and it doesn't mean unemployed people go completely unrewarded for their work as "interns"—just that the businesses hiring them don't have to cough up any money. Instead, interns will receive a $200 fortnightly incentive (the equivalent of being paid $4 per hour) from the government on top of their income support as they complete a four to 12-week program with a retailer.

All employers who host an intern, meanwhile, receive a nice little upfront payment of $1,000 for their troubles. There's a further $10,000 bonus for those who hire interns after their extensive unpaid trial period.

For a young unemployed person on Newstart, the currently rate of pay is $501 per fortnight. With the additional $200 on top, that means interns will be earning roughly half of what a full time retail worker earning $19.02 per hour receives for a two-week pay period.

I'm not an involved DSA guy (yet) but that's pretty good for basically just a year of being on the public radar

theyre already the largest leftist org in the US since the 60s, and thats the SDS which basically rapidly collapsed when it actually became leftist. the socialist party at its height had less than 100,000 members in the 1910s. the black panther party at its height had 2,000 members. 25k dues paying members is pretty impressive for a political org in the US, and DSA growth is only continuing.

yeah i think 25000 people means membership quintupled in a year which is pretty drat good

yeah even if growth were to slow significantly and it only doubled to reach 50k or so in another year, it'd be probably second only to the socialist party at its very brief height during Debs.

ofc thats assuming there's no splits or cointelpro or red scare poo poo which, looking at history, yikes
