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.
ugh thats not what i mean 🙄
Rereading and you make a little more sense. I don't know how you actually have 20 different campaigns going on in your chapter though. It makes more sense to have as many working groups as you need but have those groups focus on a specific thing. Like you shouldn't have multiple tenants groups attempting different strategies.
Chapters already decide all the time on priority campaigns and how to focus funding to actually have things be successful. Im not saying prohibit people from doing whatever, but prioritizing things makes those important campaigns more successful, its about not stretching chapters too thin by not having any sort of cohesive planning or general cooperation. Sometimes it just makes sense to consolidate working groups and committees if they could be working together under a more broad campaign if theres only a couple people doing somewhat similar or related work. Its a problem that shows up sometimes imo in larger chapters, and it can overwork people and not lead to anything if the campaigns split up the membership too much. Not to even mention our inability to even organize state wide or nationally, both things that need to be actually undertaken if we ever want to be relevant in this country.
