No, sorry. But I don’t see why you couldn’t start one if there isn’t one. Or a DSC 😃

99% of moving people in your communities is just showing up and doing the things.

I mean, no. The local chapters have quite a lot of autonomy. Which is a good thing.

The DSA has a lot of factions and basically no barrier to entry. You’re going to find all types. Some of them run food distributions and scream at any passing cop. Some of them are into getting even centrist dems elected. And there’s a lot of problems with more centralized national organizing.

Whew.

No. It’s not inside the Democratic party. DSA is a separate organization that will endorse and support candidates. It’s a big tent and there’s a lot of competing politics. Chapters report to national and chapters are typically at the city level.

DSA is in the process of nominating progressives in all sorts of local and national elections. But DSA is more than electoral politics. You will find mutual aid, outreach and other activities in that org.

Source: me. Join your local DSA. Or start your own chapter.

Ok then leave

So did you actually read the article? The sbs’ claim of censorship was that they couldn’t find videos of the flood on rednote.

They also found one lady in New South Wales that said she talks to her family in code.

And then they made the claim that the sinister Chinese government wants to show themselves as competently managing the disaster.

This is nonsense.

You don’t get to decide who is the face of the left. Like it or not Hasan is very recognizable as a left influencer.

Taylor farms salads are sold in Costco

Yes sir I can be trusted with a drone!

This isn’t an echo chamber lmao.

Here watch: fascist scum like you are lucky if you get the wall

You can get rid of the sympathizer part

My gfs response lives in my head “prostitution or soliciting?”

I’m 41 in the USA and there are blocks and clocks of tent cities in my city.

Woof.

Hey look this isn’t meant to be insulting.

Go out and meet some people and do some organizing. Just go talk to people. You’re going to go in front of a fascist judge sending you to a concentration camp in El Salvador and your defense is “I was talking about Eritrea”? Good luck with that. No one doing work is going to accept that from you either lol.

You can play those semantic games if you want. It won’t get you anywhere.

I need you to look up the Palmer raids or any other red scare nonsense in this country. No amount of “technically the constitution” is going to make your words “legal”. The laws are made up and enforced with extreme violence by white supremacists.

The reason I say this to you: any sort of discussion about merely changing the system is going to be seen as treasonous. Mamdani was named by doj in conjunction with npsm 7 or whatever it is.

Analyze the material reality of the situation and act accordingly. I spend a lot of my time in my communities. Not all have the same overlapping goals. But none of them advocate for a revolution, that’s an extreme risk for almost no upside.

There is no discussion of “destroying a regime” though. What we seek to build are resilient communities.

I get that you’re doing some figuring out here. But you’re actively talking online about things that are now illegal speech. Fidel is an example not of blindly destroying a regime but an example of the importance of building community. Or, organizing.

It’s a worthwhile conversation to have, I agree.

So many people get all ready to take on the system, man, without understanding the infinite hard work of building community.

Fidel started with 12 people. But he had the support of the communities around him. And a murderous regime to oppose.

Weeks and decades and all that.

Just going to your local DSA meeting is risking jail at this point or worse.

“Revolutions” aren’t really started by people on the ground, it’s a response to ruling class oppression. All you can really do is organize and hope for the best.

Why would you punch a tankie in the head?

Tbh people would probably call me a tankie. And to get to the conclusions I’ve made about the world: violence and hierarchy are tools. They are not inherently evil.

And as another comment in you replies has said it just depends on if you agree with the what those are enforcing.

Lol right globe emoji dumbass take celebrated by libs

I’ll follow ms rachel not those
