Join and make it less lib. It’s that easy.

The only way you’d make it more lib is if you think you’re more lib than DSA 😳 👀

To those of you requesting I move my posts proselytizing people about joining an organization over to /strugglesession I have but one thing to say:

Join an organization

To those who repeat the line “I believe in democratic centralism so I won’t join” I say: so do I. If that’s such a sticking point for you to not join DSA, which organization practicing democratic centralism are you currently a part of?

Do you think Lenin or Mao woke up one day with a perfectly structured organization laying at their feet comprised of only those who held similar beliefs to them? Of course they didn’t. They crafted and cultivated these organizations and revolutionary mindsets for decades before seeing the fruits of their labor. If you aren’t organizing you are not only not a revolutionary, you are a counterrevolutionary. Are you waiting for a perfect movement to be waiting at the foot of your bed one morning instead of putting in the labor to craft one you see as suitably revolutionary? Not to even scold you, but factually your absence from organization based on personal ideology favors only the capitalist and harms only your comrades.

There is no difference between good and bad things.

echoing @notthenameiwant - this is so toxic that the feds ought to be paying you to spread it. The DSA has been victorious in minimum wage hikes, rent control measures, and strong environmental legislation, on the level of entire states, in the last 6 months alone. You won't catch me saying they're not at least a little lib, but "a little lib and saving the proletariat from abuse by landlords and employers on a scale of hundreds of thousands of people" is a lot better than whatever you want to call "not lib" that presumably comprises nothing but turning leftist infighting to a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I love comparing active socialists doing good work on the ground to the police. Good thing I can make this point online without ever having to make a difference on the ground.

This take is straight toxic.
