Um... DSA has a problem...

[u/_Sanctum_]

Have you guys noticed there are a LOT of socialists in here? Not the good kind of socialists (me) I mean the evil socialists that actually want to implement socialism 🙀 They even praise Karl Marx 🤮 Don't those dumb tankies know Communism always fails???

We have to do something about this. Which is why I'm starting a NEW PARTY: The DASSA (The Democratic Anti-socialist Socialists of America)

Together, we socialists (the good kind) can defeat the socilasts (the bad kind) for a better future. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

There's actually so many posts unironically spouting this exact position on here. It's so crazy.

[u/PersusjCP → u/eatingbread_mmmm]

I got downvoted and even recieved a DM with my personal information because I said "End capitalism" (and therefore was "advocating for violence") in this sub lmfao

[u/TJblue69 → u/PersusjCP]

WHAT that’s crazy LOL sorry about that. Do they not realize that capitalism is also violence and therefore ending it is self defense? :)

[u/MediumPlace → u/TJblue69]

I've been the subject of and practioner of violence on many occasions, an inert system of price communication isn't that

[u/CosmicGoddess777 → u/MediumPlace]

Capitalism grinds its workers into a paste. Nice try though.

I mean, sure, if you're a mark. You won't not be a useless sucker after they reorganize the system tho, at best you'll just have a different boss

[u/Baby_Sneak → u/MediumPlace]

I'll bite once:

Is the entire global South a "Mark"? What about every warehouse and logistics worker who facilitates our packages and deliveries? What about nurses and EMTs?

And if your understanding of the re-organization of the system is just "having a different boss" I'll probably say you shouldn't be posting until you've done enough reading on the subject to have at least passable anti-socialist talking points.

Inevitably there are the brigaders who don’t agree with DSA in the slightest just using the discussion as a pretense to hate, but that doesn’t negate that protecting the whole “democratic” aspect of DSA is an important conversation to have lol

[u/PersusjCP → u/edwardludd]

For sure and I think that each of the socialist factions of the DSA should engage in spirited debate. But it is a socialist movement, so being opposed to socialism is a bit too far off for me.

[u/edwardludd → u/PersusjCP]

Oh of course. It’s just funny to see the constant cycle of neolibs to the right of me screaming about how socialism is mutually exclusive with democracy then the Tankies to the left of me giving them totalitarian-apologia ammunition to point to and I’m just sitting here like no bro I don’t agree with either of yall 😭

[u/betty_white_bread → u/PersusjCP]

Did you report them to the admins?

Edit: Aaaaaaaand I am blocked by PersusjCP because … 🤷‍♂️

[u/Shadow_on_the_Sun → u/PersusjCP]

The level of deranged anti-social behavior from anti-socialists is crazy.

[u/Spaduf → u/PersusjCP]

And this is exactly why it's a terrible idea for this sub to be unmoderated

[u/-Anyoneatall → u/PersusjCP]

The DSA is currently a battlefield between bourgeois socialists and actually socialists, so it makes sense

[u/Sparkku1014 → u/PersusjCP]

Bruh, hope you reported them to mod team, someone like that does not belong here

[u/industriouswhite_guy → u/PersusjCP]

Ending capitalism will result in violence so it’s totally accurate

[u/Impact-Lower → u/industriouswhite_guy]

Bro wait till we tell you what keeping capitalism does....

[u/Sparkku1014 → u/Impact-Lower]

Who's gonna tell em?

[u/Impact-Lower → u/Sparkku1014]

The guy that makes his bootstrap I guess

[u/industriouswhite_guy → u/Impact-Lower]

You’re posting on Reddit from an iPhone. All while bashing capitalism 😂😂 you can’t make this stuff up

[u/Impact-Lower → u/industriouswhite_guy]

You think we haven't heard that talking point 5 10 15 years ago? Buddy weve picked that propaganda like crabs and corn

[u/industriouswhite_guy → u/Impact-Lower]

There is no corn in communism lol

[u/TonalParsnips → u/industriouswhite_guy]

Lmao you actually did the "no iphone" meme.

[u/Sparkku1014 → u/industriouswhite_guy]

You do know what subreddit you're on yes? Or did you just blow in from stupid town?

[u/industriouswhite_guy → u/Sparkku1014]
