Acting like "the Democrats" is some sort of foreign faraway entity and not a dumb group of clueless idiots you can influence and replace is stupid as hell

If you think that ousting incompetent clowns like Robby Mook from the Dem power structure is too hard of a task for you, then good luck accomplishing anything else

I'm definitely open to more radical solutions too, if you'd like to share any suggestions.

Well each area sent a dude to vote on their behalf at the convention, to vote for 16 people.
So through democracy, you -among many- were represented by your peers who are representing the many -upon many- chosen to represent you -the few-.


If that's not democratic socialism, I duno what is.

Ignore the twitter bullshit. I'll bet this isn't even really a thing for like 95% of the membership. The locals do good work, don't let some online drama overshadow that.

TrilliontonNixon posted:

Again, there should be a space where discussion of this sort of thing can take place, and it's a failure on the part of the DSA that there isn't one.

I really don't understand all the hate for democratic centralism. I see it all the time in this thread and when I meet DSA people irl they treat it like some weird boogie man. Democratic centralism is literally just democracy. We all vote on something, make a decision based on that vote, and then do the thing we voted on. if you disagree with the decision, you still have to abide by it but can continue to voice your displeasure and attempt to reverse the decision at another vote. The reason its a big deal that people abide by the decision even if they disagree is because if you're actively engaging in disruptive activity like civil disobedience, you need to have a group that you know won't have someone go against the decision of the group by punching a cop or throwing a brick through a window and potentially risk getting all of you arrested. It also means you can have faith that your comrades in other areas are operating in about the same fashion so there's no worry that an individual or a whole branch in somewhere like, oh who knows let's just say Austin Texas, is making your org look bad by doing stuff that the rest of the org would never do and finds reprehensible. like it's fine if you dont like the idea of democratic centralism, nobody is forcing you to use it or like it, but its not This One Weird Trick to Summon the Ghost of Stalin.

I mean, by that logic the image of the defiant Native American in face of the encroaching US is a bad symbol because the introduction of horses and guns were also tools of colonialism.

Like, it's not wrong, but man, the whole world has been shaped by colonialism. There's literally no escaping it's undertones in all facets of modern society. Sometimes bread just means we want to feed the world.

also maybe someday we can acknowledge that the dirtbag leftism embodied by the chapo crew among others helps reinforce an atmosphere where bigotry can flourish under the auspices of crudeness much like certain other transgressive spaces

Why did they do that? Are they mourning the loss of the USSR? Is fun counterrevolutionary?

Vhak lord of hate posted:

there was to a big socialist halloween/oct revolution party where the theme was "wear red and have a good time" and they sat at a back table dressed entirely in black and spent the whole time handing out pamphlets and frowning.

i will never not think that is funny
