Join and make it less lib. It’s that easy.

The only way you’d make it more lib is if you think you’re more lib than DSA 😳 👀

To those of you requesting I move my posts proselytizing people about joining an organization over to /strugglesession I have but one thing to say:

Join an organization

To those who repeat the line “I believe in democratic centralism so I won’t join” I say: so do I. If that’s such a sticking point for you to not join DSA, which organization practicing democratic centralism are you currently a part of?

Do you think Lenin or Mao woke up one day with a perfectly structured organization laying at their feet comprised of only those who held similar beliefs to them? Of course they didn’t. They crafted and cultivated these organizations and revolutionary mindsets for decades before seeing the fruits of their labor. If you aren’t organizing you are not only not a revolutionary, you are a counterrevolutionary. Are you waiting for a perfect movement to be waiting at the foot of your bed one morning instead of putting in the labor to craft one you see as suitably revolutionary? Not to even scold you, but factually your absence from organization based on personal ideology favors only the capitalist and harms only your comrades.

Just join any org and do shit irl pls. The USA is so far from a revolution at this point that it doesn't really matter which leftist org you join tbh. Is the DSA overly liberal with stuff like straight up banning democratic centralisation within the org? Probably, but it's still good to join and go do stuff irl with other members and comrades, and actually advocate for and accomplish things within your local community.

If Mao could ally with fascists for a goal that would only be realized 20 years down the line, we can ally with AOC to attempt to build on what little left momentum there is here in the US

The Soviets were also twisting Chiang's balls pretty hard but you got a point
