Hi comrades,
I wanted to bring to your attention my caucus’ (springs of red roses) resolution: R136 - Towards an anti-zionist, partyist, political rank and file strategy. This resolution affirms DSA’s commitment to doing the hard work of organizing workers not only on economic ground, but political grounds by setting up SIOC for DSA union officers and a standard process for endorsing E-board candidates, with industrial coordination and criteria for anti-zionism.
This kind of coordination and discipline is neccesary to take on the billionaire class and construct our preferred future: democratic socialism.
Thank you for your consideration, and as always - solidarity
as someone in a different org with a very different structure and theory of change & as someone who is very critical of the DSA, if it’s the only thing near you you should definitely stay active, it’s 1000% better than doing nothing or just posting (but then, i repeat myself (ha ha)). idt it’s ever been polled or anything but i’m fairly confident the good majority of people on hexbear haven’t ever organized, at least not seriously. hostility on the internet is often a libidinal outlet for people’s feelings of powerlessness - i hope my own participation in the electoralism dust-ups didn’t cross into that realm, and if they did i apologize.
if this site is getting to you too badly then yeah just step away for a bit and logout. idk the internet sucks, it’s inherently alienated and antisocial terrain and hexbear is only somewhat better than the rest and it has its major problems.
like for examplealmost posted a cringe & relitigating metapost but i’m just gonna leave it at that, take a break when you need to and try not to take a fundamentally flawed format for community too seriously.
