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.

      That sucks. DSA-LA spent the last 2+ years literally watching over homeless encampments making sure police don't do sweeps, breaking into vacant homes owned by the city to move people in to squat, and fighting police in the streets. It's pretty sweet.

      Edit: oh and setting up a community mutual aid fund and support network once the pandemic hit to help people get food, money, and other stuff.

      In their defense they thought that $2000 checks would go out the door immediately
