Some recent critiques levied at DSA's organizational strategies peddle in an aesthetic-radicalism that risks distracting the working-class from organizing itself into a disciplined political force.
I think the main problem with the American left isn't any one person but it is one word, tailism. I feel that after Bernie tapped people on the ass so to say, people progressed to about the conciousness of a Bernie Sanders type, left wing populism, hating the "elite" but nothing further. One thing that this has created however is a small group of people who have moved even past this and into other more correct viewpoints (communism) but these movements have been disjointed from small sects like PSL and SAlt as well as other radicalized groups like breakaway BLM factions and some of the DSA factions. One thing that is needed is for all of these groups to form into a larger group and to have a unified political platform as well as unified structure. Some people have thought that we could do a sort of entryism into DSA but some people think that grow the parties like PSL. Like basically I agree that the communist and left movement in America needs to be bigger than what it is but I dont think that the main problem we have is an insufficently radical populace or anything and I don't think working with the PSL who've had infinite scandal over the past few months and weren't that big in the first place. What we need who knows execpt for a vanguard party.
