I'm not a member of DSA and can't become a member because I'm a member of SAlt and DSA specifically bars members from also being affiliated with any democratic centralist organization, but I still see ya'll as comrades. Myself and other members of SAlt in my area have been working with and trying to coordinate with the DSA in our area as much as possible. comrade from another... momrade?

Trying to reform the Massachusetts state party is looking like it's going to be a loving bitch and a half, there's something of an establishment cabal at the core of things who have wrapped layers of bureaucratic armor around themselves and burrowing through it is going to be exhausting and unreliable.

platzapS posted:Yeah but then why have a national organization? Why not just be completely locally-focused? I'm not saying we're responsible to solve the world's problems by declarations, I'm saying it's probably in our interests to try to coordinate with people in other countries more. I might have got carried away. This isn't meant as a gotcha - how would coordinating with people in other countries serve our interests? They don't vote in our elections, they don't have agency over our ruling class, they don't have the same understanding of our local and state and federal issues that we do. I genuinely don't understand how international coordination is going to serve our interests. It might be something we want to do for moral/ethical reasons, but from a pure self-interest perspective, I'm sincerely not following you.

It's not so much that trying to change the Democratic party from within is a great plan, it's just that there are no better, more effective plans available.

fermun posted:National has managed to do poo poo all to help any locals organize so there's poo poo all chance of the same delegates voting to first ask their members to pay like 8x as much and then give national 80% of their own members dues while simultaneously calling for a more centralized top-down model. National does need resources if it's going to help folks organize, so this could easily turn in to a catch-22.

empireofcrime posted:I'd be fine with that as long as the majority of them aren't shitheads. Not sure what other slates there are, but I'm all for pulling DSA further left than dem soc/soc dem majority leadership and if the worst of it is a couple of snobs or whatever, I can live with it. I know Jared Abbott. He's good - driven, dedicated, and idealistic without being unrealistic. He has an ideology but he's not ideological - his ideology yields to his observations, rather than vice versa. I respect him highly. I don't know anything about the rest of them.

Shaun King posted:What I’m about to say could get slightly wonky, but I’m asking you to look past the legalese and understand that what we are talking about here are amazingly brave cops who put their lives and careers on the line to stand up for what they thought was right by not only speaking out against unjust practices within the department, but by actually suing the NYPD, their supervisors, and the City of New York to expose such things. I’m going to share five different cases with you that involve a combined 15 different NYPD officers who have taken the courageous step of filing suit to prove that the NYPD is illegally using arrest quotas. 13 of these officers are still currently working within the department. These are not jaded cops with an ax to grind. Filing these suits, while insisting on remaining cops within the NYPD, has made their day to day duty within the department a living hell. They’ve been harassed, ridiculed, and blacklisted, but have continued to push through not only because they love their jobs, but because they want to change the department from the inside out. Maybe???
