"But at the head of the gulch, on one of the largest pine-trees, they found the deuce of clubs pinned to the bark with a bowie-knife. It bore the following, written in pencil, in a firm hand: Join the DSA"

No ruling class has ever given up power peacefully!

So true AOC is the only member of the DSA

It's worth saying that a lot of this opposition is because chi is an opportunist who has been in DSA for two non-consecutive months in the past decade

To give an R&R perspective, it's a case of mistaking principles for tactics: "The No Kings movement is flawed from socialist perspective, therefore we shouldn't support it." However, we can participate in something while highlighting its progressive parts and critiquing its weaknesses.

He sucks. I think the DSA shouldn't be in the habit of endorsing people who join for a month to advance their career

but you should be!

The escape of these concepts will come with the end of classed society, and it cannot come even a moment sooner.

We have not escaped "violence, scarcity, and rape". These things are still happening on a mass scale. Genocides are occuring under the watch of global society. The idea that humans are "civilizing" is first of all, false, and second of all, is simply reinforcing the idea that human evil is natural.

We do not need to naturalize the idea that violence is a good solution to interpersonal conflict, actually.

At the same time, "humans are naturally horrible little creatures" is simply not true, and in fact is in essential agreement with the original poster's take.

Lowkey we desperately need an actual DSA candidate to run for that seat

National dues are the only thing which makes you a DSA member and grants you voting rights. Local "dues" confer no rights and any assertion otherwise is a lie or a violation of DSA bylaws.

A NYC DSA member should not be endorsing a different candidate than a DSA endorsed candidate.

Crash Outstein deserves to fall to a better name than that
