I am bad at gifs but we should do a riff on the Pet Island gang tag: Red rose with text "Socialism over Barbarism" and then a switch to black background with anarchy symbol with the text "Punch Nazis"

Getting involved in politics means going to political party meetings, trying to get into a position where someone will hear your voice and scream at everyone. Who knew? 'the dems' at the local level are just people that can be swayed easily when enough other people come in and start screaming. Heck in my county if you pay a yearly membership fee of $25 you even get to vote and influence policy!

That mightve been a better post instead of the lovely one you made.

with Internet communism you take what you need friend

also keep in mind that the most effective route of mass organizations is first and foremost a grassroots community that discusses the issues that they care about and then tries to change them in an organized way outside of electoral politics

Parents have 3 jobs and can't watch the kids? Set up a childcare coop and get those parents involved

Payday loans sucking up money from the poor? Sponsor a credit union existing or otherwise and get them signed up and the payday loans out of business

You want to have parallel institutions that compete and supplant the legitimacy of our elected "representatives" by solving the problems of neglected communities through direct democratic participation

You can empower people by having them thrust into a responsible position

The energy and stark contrast of a mass organization that actually takes care of its constituents vs stagnant elected neoliberal governments creates momentum to replace worthless politicos because as soon as people see another path and another vision the more they want it

Imo

This post is a good post and has me feeling not horrible.

If you would like it, please quote this post along side proof of a donation of sufficient quantity. Proof can be simply quoting an older post you made previously that itself contained donation proof, or if you are a new donor that wants it, quote this post alongside proof of that donation.

I can nearly guarantee that your title will be safe and sound underneath your avatars within five (5) business days, or whenever I check this thread, really. :hai:

Thanks for signal boosting this! We're now #8 in the nation!

Sunday the NC Piedmont DSA had a bit of an informal teach-in on socialist localism...or maybe local socialism? Anyway, I think it generated a good deal of buzz and got some folks excited. Something I personally didn't know about was http://www.cooperationjackson.org/ and the Jackson, MS model wherein there were 3 different branches:

1) Creating a People's Assembly that operates outside of the municiple government
2) Electoral action (Jackson had a socialist mayor! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chokwe_Lumumba)
3) Building a Solidarity economy. Creating an economic space that supports social space. Community and worker owned poo poo that communities need, like construction, grocery stores, educational institutions, child care co-ops, banks, etc.

Anyway, I might be doing a poor job of explaining it, but it's exactly my poo poo. Anybody else have thoughts on DSA branches working on this sort of junk?

Tell the science fan normies about this:

some loving nerd posted:

I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals. In such an economy, the means of production are owned by society itself and are utilized in a planned fashion. A planned economy, which adjusts production to the needs of the community, would distribute the work to be done among all those able to work and would guarantee a livelihood to every man, woman, and child. The education of the individual, in addition to promoting his own innate abilities, would attempt to develop in him a sense of responsibility for his fellow men in place of the glorification of power and success in our present society.
