No all of the Trots are new. DSA’s lineage is entirely anti-leninist, all the way back to the SPA. Frankly most of the existing anti-demcent attitudes comes from hatred of trots more than MLs.

(SPA -> SDUSA -> DSOC) + (SDS -> NAM)

Because it involves a central structure for disciplining members and branches?

Absolutely. The DSA is a big tent and closing the tent risks splitting the organization. DSA is only relevant because its so big which is directly because it is a big tent. We have anarchists, socdems, leftcoms, trots, MLs etc from all across a huge nation sharing the same organization. People are legitimately afraid that if the DSA went fully demcent it completely fracture because there isn’t much of an ideological consensus other than “are you a socialist?”

That said the tent should absolutely be closed to Zionists. Most people have come around to enforcing some sort of political line upon national elected officials. But they really don’t want national telling them their priorities.

What is the central DSA for if not that? Is it just an advertising agency?

Facilitating, training, intercommunication and providing resources between chapters. The vast majority of DSA local organizers aren’t interested in any sort of electoralism and want to focus on direct action and base building. And they’re right to think that should be the priority. Even the PSL agrees on that.

Just for clarity: the DSA is absolutely not a party in any sense and no one is considering turning it into a party. DSA resolved eventual make a political party but that would be a separate organization.

IMO only the most deluded electoralist thinks the DSA will lead us through any sort of socialist revolution. But it is laying the groundwork to make that possible. No vanguard party can ever hope to be nationally relevant without that groundwork.

She’ll have to triangulate harder. If she could ditch DSA and become a DNC sweet heart she probably would. But the Dems have made it clear that’s not an option though.

post-trot

Good god that describes so much of DSA leadership.

It was never a ban. You could be expelled for being in a DemCent org but that was only to prevent hijacking and splitting.

Its also not a party and a huge number of active members don’t want it to be a party. They would rather it be solely a vehicle for direct action and mass movement building and shun all electoralism.

They want to keep claiming their precious elected officials without ever holding them accountable.

That would’ve certainly been seen as a DemCent vs Anti-DemCent fight internally. I doubt anyone left in DSA is still personally pro-zionist, but radlib/libsoc attitudes still remain.

From a cynical pro-imperialist viewpoint almost everything you listed goes in the pro column. Except for your conservative friend getting disillusioned. The US has a long history of butchering occupations because it has no idea how to do them other than “kill the savages”. IMO Iraq was the first time the actually earnestly tried to set up a vassal state and were marginally successful. But in the process, ramped up the butchery and burned through basically every gram of domestic support.

Cuomo or Sliwa?

This guy is going to lose to Eric Adams. His main competition is Curtis Sliwa.

Meme coin scams become self aware and start a meme coin to protest the scams while scamming the people upset about getting scammed. All the very public sexual harassment is just a by product.

It is the definition of a settler colony along with the US and Canada.

Are you referring to the Angles and Saxons here? Their migration to Britain and treatment of the Britons was similar but I wouldn’t call it a “colony”.

Similarly relevant guide for Transmission I’ll need confirm if the file formats for the block lists are identical.

If you look at the interior its so clearly a luxury vehicle but the luxury is appearing as having the worlds smallest penis.

95% sure its AI

Wrong its from Truck Dynasty. The Warlord Apocalypse 6x6. What fresh hell has the discovery channel been doing?

Tidal, or Deezer. Can’t say which is better.

Sounds like Mutualism. Their big deal is no private property, only personal property.
