MUG, NYC-DSA field organizer
It is enervating that the GW chieftains have convinced themselves because Chi will talk to them that he'll be Bowman 2 (affair aside he was a different level). Otoh genuinely unhinged that the IC thinks this guy is going to be their guy on Campism.

How do you not get that this is a weird liar guy?

Renee isn't wrong here but let's be clear this is a direct consequence of the political incentives produced by 1m1v.

NYC has kept much bigger secrets than this in member meetings, because voting synchronously meant you had to convince active members. Going to the press didn't help you.

I'll leave the real response to our SPA scholars, but I do find it funny Blanc's MUG Derangement Syndrome pushes him to contradict himself in one sentence.

Whether DSA or our electeds' defend abolitionism or not isn't a tactical question it's a strategic one.

There is a profound cowardice involved in believing public sentiment can be read off polls. It saves you the dangerous tricky work of actually figuring out how to speak to anyone.

Saying "no you shouldn't lie about what I believe" = "an absolute opposition to compromise" is really telling on yourself lol

TBC both Portland DSA and the campaigns that elected their city council people were lead in major part by members of Reform & Revolution and Bread & Roses, 2 Trotskyist caucuses.

Even when we disagree, the right of DSA has a lot more in common with the left than they do with people like you.

Resolution just passed by the "Ultra-Left" wing of DSA

FYI one of MUG's major disagreements with Groundwork (the larger of the two right caucuses) is that they support an eventual one party state and we oppose it.

Not seeing the hypocrisy here is kind of amazing. Also make sure the last of our three issues explaining our politics we were handing out at convention.

Man I am so deeply grateful to every dumb, red baiting, Zionist Reformist who kept DSA and the democratic traditions of the very old left alive long enough for the Bernie left to land in DSA and not Our Revolution.

Wouldn't it have been cool if the statement made this point and not some vague moralizing bullshit about "vigilantism" it actually said?

3 things:
1 This post is dumb.

2 United fields and this caucus are dumb.

3 People in democratic organizations post dumb things and if that's unacceptable to you, you don't have the stomach for democratic organization.

B&R: the only Marxist Caucus brave enough to ask "what if we used imperialism to do nice things?"

Good founding docs should be excite recruits and infuriate opponents.

This strikes me as a juvenile fantasy of a final confrontation in our lifetimes, continuing a long line since the Comintern justifying opportunism and philistinism.

...but of course I'm an opponent. Sincerely a very good POU.

"Unity in action freedom of discussion" is a lot less Democratic when everything is always action. Like it or not, the campaign form has consequences.
