Honestly its rude to be invited by a country to meet their president who decided to respond to your criticisms of their administration only to not show up and go meet the opposition.

Being invided and then no showing shows complete disregard to basic diplomatic Etiquette since it was a mission to show solidarity against the embargo

Bonus socdems being cringe part 4.5: about another member that didnt show up to the presidential meeting

Show

Deeply unserious people

    Everyone is all "join an org" but this is literally every fucking org in the US

      Not PSL. Not anti-imperialist issue orgs. Not most FRSO chapters.

      That's the whole list though lol

        Nothing in my area unless I want to drive like an hour or more to awkwardly stand around feeling like I don't belong and despair at once again being surrounded by libs

          That sucks.

          If you can find 1 other comrade you can always start your own org or chapter. Not that it's easy but it is a uniquely valuable experience.

      PSL hosted Diaz-Canel in NYC last year, we do regular anti -imperialist, pro-Cuba delegations to the island, and my local branch we did a successful goods drive to get around the blockade where we personally sent a comrade down.

      I mean the article linked is written by an ML caucus within DSA. They believe there are avenues to make DSA better which is the point of this critique. No org is going to be a success if communists sit in the sidelines while the trots and socdems run wild.

        And sitting around on my ass staring off into space accomplishes just as much

        Actual communist orgs get slaughtered

            Actually it's a history of bullying and humiliating social failures and chronic pain so bad I get like four hours of sleep a night and I regularly hear the people around me refer to the homeless with a tone that says they think less of them than stray dogs but sure it's a moral failing on my part
