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.

^ not a :LIB:, thank you for fighting the good fight comrade :red-fist:
Onboarding is a big one - that was my biggest hurdle to joining my local DSA. This is just my two cents but work to make sure that you have structures in place to personally communicate with new members. Make them feel welcome as individuals and give them the tools to feel like they are making a difference as soon as possible. Good luck :heart-sickle:
Echoing this 100 percent! I'm loosely a member of my local chapter, but one big reason I've never found a clear niche where I feel like I can help/make a difference is the lack of real onboarding infrastructure.
YES SIR THATS WHAT I LIKE TO HEAR! This is a true communist and organizer
