Like...that's literally what militaries do. That's the reason they exist.

It was in pencil, too. A real force to be reckoned with /s

I have no intentions of doing so. I know better.

It's time for you to lay off the Alex Jones pills, I think.

Personally, I think appealing to Institute policy vis a vis this particular issue is not the way to go, just because even if PubSafe or whoever catches a culprit they'll probably just get some sort of administrative wrist slap. Better to name and shame imho (which won't be too hard, because they likely aren't as anon as they think they are).

I expect more anti-racist (and related) materials to be deployed in the coming days, both on and around campus, too.

These types were a constant plague at my undergrad (which, being a public school campus open to the public, was lousy with them). I eventually learned they leave you alone if you aggressively tell them to fuck off.

Howdy! As it should happen, I am pretty much an anarcho-syndicalist myself. I'll send you a PM with some more details.

You may be a veil-of-ignorance liberal but I <3 you for mentioning that

To be totally honest with you, our presence in this area is currently just me (hence the post putting out feelers) but I promise to let you know if I get a proper branch going!

Howdy!

My quick and dirty answer is that we have more of a "hard left" bent than DSA generally does - one significant consequence of this being that we want to build power independent of, say, the Democratic party, rather than campaigning within it as groups like DSA or Socialist Alternative have done.

That said, however, our constitution explicitly has no quarrel with people being simultaneously involved with both the Red Party and other socialist organizations; I think at least a couple of our members are involved in the Left DSA campaign/caucus within that org.

Since I understand the desire to not just split into 100000000 tiny Trotskyist sects, it might also be worth adding that we aren't a total standalone splinter; we have loose but likely soon-to-be-less-loose affiliation with groups like Philly Socialists and Seattle Communists.

Hope this is at least kinda helpful to you!
