Edit- y’all are getting salty. Clearly I agree with Lenin that revolutionaries should work in reactionary parliaments. But that is not the same as the DSA who think electoralism is the key to meaningful change, and not a combination of legal and illegal strategies.

      Still better than CPUSA. At least you have an easier time convincing libs to abandon their liberalism after they watch their electoralism strategies get stomped in favor of the shittiest candidates that make up America's political structure, than it is to try to convince a bunch of libs that think they're applying Dimitrov's theory of the United front by saying to vote for the lesser evil and then claiming it's a victory for the communist cause that the capitalist class switched what colour their puppet is that time around.

      That said I still find it easier to work with CP members over DSA members since I'm less likely to be called a red-fascist for suggesting they read Engel's "The Principles of Communism" so they can get beyond "communism is when the government does stuff" phase.
