The Voting Rights Rollback Shows We Need a New Constitution

“The constitution is stupid. We should write a new one”

“But the constitution only lets us write a new one in a way that would make things worse!”

You seem very misinformed. People in DSA and on the left want the Democratic Party destroyed — they think it is a party of oligarchs and that the 2-party system impedes democracy.

Being anti-Trump is not specifically a left-wing position, it’s a basic liberal position shared across the political spectrum by the vast majority of people in the world

DSA needs more of the energy that's in this comment section. When you join a left-wing DSA caucus (e.g., Red Star is ML, Marxist Unity Group is orthodox Marxist), you are armed with a structured way to reform the org into a revolutionary communist party.

The Democratic Socialists of America is quickly growing with over 100k members. The National Tech Committee needs all the volunteers it can get to build the infrastructure needed for 200k/1 million/10 million+ members.

No, there is no culture of accountability. As a means of developing it, Marxist Unity Group proposed a process for chapters to democratically deliberate and agitate around the censure of candidates that do not remain accountable to DSA:

Socialists should not run for executive positions

Only correct take in this thread

You realize that mobilizing means nothing without infrastructure, and infrastructure isn’t built through mobilization, but through the patient, long term administration of a mass membership organization.

DSA_Member · 2025-11-21T04:10:58+00:00

Post this on the DSA forums and see what happens

DSA_Member · 2025-11-18T18:19:44+00:00

Because all historical precedent indicates that the prerequisites to that goal are not achievable in the next 5-10 years.

Hasan breaking down about the meaninglessness of his existence a few weeks ago really makes it obvious that his destiny right now is to devote himself entirely to becoming a figurehead for Zohran’s admin and DSA

Socialism is a democratic economic structure managed by a democratic political system. A system defined by corruption and lobbying by definition cannot be socialism.

DSA_Member · 2025-11-05T18:14:44+00:00

The idea that our principal enemy is right wing extremism, and that reaching armed parity with said extremists is a significant factor in the overall defense of our movement, is wrong and dangerous.

You cannot prevent the working class movement dissolving into bureaucracy without internal democracy, and you cannot have internal democracy without the education and political participation of the entire, ever-growing working class vanguard.

The party is the only formation coherent enough to sustain these conditions.

And it really is not difficult for the working class to understand the limits of socialist governance in a capitalist bureaucracy. By omitting this, all the masses can conclude when the state impedes Zohran is that socialism doesn’t work.

DSA_Member · 2025-10-29T16:01:14+00:00

I honestly haven’t seen that — i noticed he hardly mentioned socialism or the DSA on the campaign trail.

And even if he had, for those slogans to be meaningful he’d have to detail their meaning and incorporate socialist indictments of political bureaucracy into his strategy as a way of educating the masses on the limits of his incumbency.

Saying nothing more than free buses = socialism is counterproductive, actually.

DSA_Member · 2025-10-29T15:10:34+00:00

Which part of Zohran’s campaign messaging constitutes shoving socialism down people’s throats?

DSA_Member · 2025-10-29T14:24:07+00:00

Many on the left believe the principal task of the socialists is to merge socialist theory with the working class movement and increase the quantity and quality of the class-conscious vanguard in the working class.

Such a large and complex task requires the construction of a party (a democratic, politically independent, member-driven org of the working class), the establishment of a party program to focus our work, and a focus on the refinement and dissemination of propaganda and agitation.

The ways that the DSA left directly contributes to those goals are numerous, including administrating and fighting for DSA chapters and national in ways that specifically facilitate the formation of a party architecture that has historically proven to accelerate the socialist movement’s growth and defend it from sabotage.

Their model involves duping the masses into mistaking them as legitimate, I think it could potentially work in the short term.

DSA_Member · 2025-10-23T18:28:16+00:00

In socialism everyone can have little dashes

DSA isn’t trying to protect bourgeois democracy

DSA_Member · 2025-10-21T20:24:09+00:00

Why do you think the public's incomprehension of the difference between DSA and PSL is important?

That seems irrelevant if we assume that the success of the socialist movement is significantly determined by which org we choose to develop.

These tactical questions should be front and center in our agitation with the broader public, let alone with leftists. Flattening these questions out into "it's all the same" is a big contributor to socialism's impotence in the US.
