DSA are being hardcore pushed because the people winning seats through them are all socdems who openly say that they are capitalists. It's even to the benefit of the state itself not to actually prevent DSA from succeeding but to make sure that the ones that succeed within it are not socialists. All the socialists and communists can be pushed as long as they are just voices pushing DSA candidates that are social capitalists. Hasan may be totally sincerely a socialist but as long as he's not the electoral candidate he becomes an ally to the actual capitalists who are winning the seats.

Fucking Gandi?

Never underestimate the imagination of a liberal.

I will say, with the current admin repeatedly threatening to deport him (a natural born US citizen), while I don’t think Hasan is a Nelson Mandela figure, doing that is a good way of turning him into one

So this is very unlikely to be an actual Hasanabi head, I think this is a sincere post by a typical "anti-trump liberal" account. The only reason they know Hasan is cause he has been plastered across American MSM for 4 months straight, especially by Fox News who got things going until the others jumped in full force 4 weeks ago. Since they are more culture warriors (largely for the right reasons) more than political tacticians ( being liberal and having read no theory at all, not even watching Hasan or anyone to the left of the pod johns), you end up with tone deaf stuff like "wow the republicans really hate this guy, he must be pretty awesome".

Maybe i have that wrong, but it's an interesting time because pretty much all younger liberals are agnostic to positive on the DSA these days. I remember how key in my development it was to see Bernie crushed in 2020 after winning Nevada. The Democrats are now being faced with either doing that again, but even harder and a whole new generation of politically aware people watching, or they are going to need to respond to the tension growing on the U.S. left, which will also be dramatic. The corporate wing will need to either split the party, or join the Republicans.

If anyone has any ideas of a 4the scenario (purge DSA, corpos split off, corpus change parties, and ???) I would be interested. The more I think about it, the DSA purge is most likely by far.

that hasan becomes new chomsky (leftest acceptable position in polite society), a worse replacement intellectually and ethically

Listen I'm not one to talk about being an effective leftist, but I'm 99% sure that no revolution will ever come from pandering to liberals

I feel like Mandela looked younger than that in 1952
