Looks like Socialist Alternative is going to try to make DSA form a workers party by having some of it's members join DSA.

Current DSA by-laws allow for chapters to expel members for being in Democratic Centralist organizations but its not automatic. It also seems like SAlt isn't telling their members to join en-masse, just a few to push for a new workers party at meetings.

My DSA chapter isn't happy about this but it seems like most apprehension seems to be from their experience with individual SAlt members, first and the rudeness of the tactic, second. But there seems to be little consideration of their goals.

    Can we try to avoid bad jacketing on here? You can disagree with their ideology and strategy or whatever but I don't think we should get in the habit of throwing baseless accusations like this because it promotes a culture that will inevitably come back to haunt us as a movement (see: COINTELPRO and the feds copious use of bad jacketing to break up organisations)
