Small Town Socialism: A Case Study - The Organizer

Beginning over a year ago, the DSA Merced & Mariposa Organizing Committee started the process of mapping our local conditions. What does the local labor movement look like, and where are our members well positioned to intervene? How are people elected, who supports them, and what would it take to win?

    Great article, lots of take aways. I loved the idea of “power mapping” your local community with a strong marxist analysis and then organizing around that analysis. Truly goes to show how powerful applied theory can be; it illuminated a path to victory that routed around all the “paper-tiger” institutional small-town power brokers.
