This vibes anecdotally with my local chapter. In the face of overwhelming membership solidarity with Palestinian liberation, the social imperialist reactionaries are purging themselves.
Anti-zionism seems to be the easiest fucking way to purge these losers.
If you’re sus about any wreckers or feds or neolibs in your org, ask whether they denounce israel and zionism. It will quickly out any of them.
Eat shit Zionist dog.
This should be in c/the_dunk_tank. Entryism is when people join my org. Imagine the DSA being too radical for you
I quit DSA because it wasn’t Leftist enough.
You quit DSA because it wasn’t Zionist enough.
We are not the same.
Maybe it’s worth checking out again now
It sounds like it’s moving left, though it also sounds like this has only been possible due to a mass drop in membership following the failure of the Bernie campaigns. Marxist Unity Group seems like their worth checking out as an internal bloc to the DSA and where it could go
Funnily enough, the 3 he listed (Red Star, MUG, and Commie Caucus) are the 3 I’d most recommend people check out. Unless you have a strong preference for one of them I’d just join whichever is most active in your area.
Amazing how this just hits pretty much every radlib talking point.
- “we need to work with the Democratic party”
- “the left wing of the possible” aka “pragmatism”
- “Marxists are evil dictators”
- Zionists
- “Israel has a right to defend itself”
- “Israel has a right to exist”
- “RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA, we have to support the Nazis in Ukraine!”
- Uyghur “genocide”
- “purity tests”
- believing the IOF’s claims of Hamas’s actions
Also, you don’t have to read the article now, I just summed it up. Unless you really want to read about the radlib history of the DSA.
