    yeah we all know it's a lot safer to be DSA SocDems than actual Revolutionaries in the imperial core. Maybe if someone had told Hampton to be a DSA member instead, he would still be alive and get elected lol

      There are no actual revolutionaries in the imperial core. If you want to point at historical examples (like the Weather Underground, who the Black Panthers disagreed with), they failed to appreciably advance the cause of socialism in America.

      The question isn't whether a given approach is safe; the question is whether a given approach might produce results. There are tons of examples of small True Leftist groups (militant or not) and they've broadly failed to produce results.
