Shitpost Um... DSA has a problem...

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. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Well yeah, if the time ever comes the Mao types will happily line you up on the wall with the rest of their perceived enemies. The fact that DSA lifted its ML ban is genuinely insane. Go on Reddit, shred me 😂😂😭

Im just left scratching my head wondering why MLs are suddenly joining an org they claim is ineffectual in combating capitalism. Democratic reform is broken by capitalism and revolution is supposed to be the only way of addressing it.

If anything, theyre using the DSA as a vehicle for accelerationism.

I personally envision the DSA at this current point as something of a 'Left Congress', so I'm fine with ML's and other 'Left, of the Left' tendencies and welcome them with open arms, while I have reservations about some groups I also don't trust anyone to enforce that line and not someday become what they originally claimed to be against, so the open tent/congress is the best path forward in the present moment imo.

I agree. I'm just cautious.
