It's a hard problem. Joining orgs to meet people to sleep with is obvious wrecker behavior but often orgs are where you meet people most compatible with you. Every political party, even mainstream ones, has lots of people sleeping with each other. Humans are gonna catch feelings, especially in leftist orgs where trauma bonding from violent interactions with cops is possible. I don't have the solution really.
Word. I don't think there is a solution. People working together for long periods of time, some of them are gonna bang and some of them are going to break up. Idk what to do except try to make sure that no one person is a critical point of failure, and anyone who is serial dating their way through the whole org.
ok, hear me out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moiety_(kinship)
In such cases, the community usually has unilineal descent (either patri- or matrilineal) so that any individual belongs to one of the two moiety groups by birth, and all marriages take place between members of opposite moieties.
the obvious solution is to restrict relationships to being between members of the ancom moiety and the ML moiety. then you're also addressing sectarianism or something.
Kinda hard when so many western leftist orgs have fun events meant to attract young people.
"I can't believe people treat the DSA like a dating club! We made it clear to all the horny young people at our monthly DSA bowling tournament and karaoke mixer that inner party dating is discouraged! Why do they keep wanting to fuck each other after the quarterly bbq???"
Please fill out your C-01 form before making out with the person you've been working on a project with for three months who you've come to know and respect more than any other person during your long hours together.
There's really nothing for it. At most you try to make sure that institutional knowledge is spread around enough that a breakup can't wreck the org.
I don't think it should be absolutely forbidden, just openly communicated about when it does (inevitably) happen so there are no surprises and the (again, inevitable) drama is minimized. Ain't no way you're gonna get a bunch of young people who work closely together often not to fuck, if you forbid it they're just gonna keep silent about it.
This is absolutely correct. Undercover UK police use sex with female org members to get in with the group. Often even having children with them to maintain the pretence.
doesn’t this like not really prevent that though? Couldn’t they just find someone they know is a member of an org and do the same thing, then join the org after (and pretend it was organically done because of their partner?)
"Don't date in the organization" should be at least the first hour of any orgs on-boarding meeting.

Gonna write a remake of Romeo and Juliet, but the Montagues and the Capulets are replaced with the ML and ancom moieties
Unironically stealing this
this is genius nothing can go wrong
Using strategic marriages to secure an alliance
Dialectics but with extra fucking, I like it, Engels would be proud.
...
Yeah that's actually brilliant and we should implement it immediately. f
joining orgs to advertise your onlyfans is still okay right?
OUR OnlyFans, comrade
Onlycomrades
this is like IASIP episode 2 lol

That’s why we have

I met my long term partner within an org, this attitude is basically just leave the women at home

They could, but in all the cases that have come to light they always start attending events and meet their victims there.
ah
