Given the budget deficit crisis engulfing DSA, we in Communist Caucus are compelled to examine the political moment which we find ourselves in and what kind of organization DSA needs to become in order to weather it.

    Haha DSA having the same budget issues that SRA had during the pandemic because they spent all the money on staff salaries.

    The same issues that USPSA has had too, for the record.

    It's typical non-profit bloat that is fine until the money stops flowing in.

    It's a shame because the DSA had their moment and they squandered it.

    I expected this to take itself too seriously due to the title but it was quite reasonable. #3 is the shakiest. Becoming an "organization of organizers" is not the same kind of thing as running electoral campaigns; what should the organizers do?
