Why is it every choice I make eventually leads to me deciding I need to read the Phenomenology of Spirit again?

You bet your ass we will!

Peter Sterne seems like a fine guy but City and State is the enemy. If you're gonna leak scoops send it to Hell Gate

Hahahahahahahahahaha

Whether DSA or our electeds' defend abolitionism or not isn't a tactical question it's a strategic one. There is a profound cowardice involved in believing public sentiment can be read off polls. It saves you the dangerous tricky work of actually figuring out how to speak to anyone.

Saying "no you shouldn't lie about what I believe" = "an absolute opposition to compromise" is really telling on yourself lol

This gap is why we need a Min-Max program. The inability to walk and chew bubble gum on this stuff was one of the major failings of the 20th century left.

The Atlantic is simultaneously terrified of the rise of socialism and critical of socialists for not enough of DSA convention goers talking about elections. Weird focus from where I’m standing, with a third of Portland city council proudly in DSA and Zohran Mamdani about to become mayor of NYC.

TBC both Portland DSA and the campaigns that elected their city council people were lead in major part by members of Reform & Revolution and Bread & Roses, 2 Trotskyist caucuses. Even when we disagree, the right of DSA has a lot more in common with the left than they do with people like you.

Resolution just passed by the "Ultra-Left" wing of DSA www.marxistunity.com/mugdsa-conve...

well we had some good faith, well-sourced journalism on DSA (shoutout @petersterne.com) so it was inevitable we'd be back to the slop eventually

FYI one of MUG's major disagreements with Groundwork (the larger of the two right caucuses) is that they support an eventual one party state and we oppose it. web.archive.org/web/20250825...

I wish a smaller proportion of DSA politics was absorbing whatever it is people need to emote at you so you can talk about whatever it is you actually need to talk about.

MUG mentioned: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/14/o...

Not seeing the hypocrisy here is kind of amazing. Also make sure the last of our three issues explaining our politics we were handing out at convention.

I guess Rashida is an Ultra now lol

Not on Twitter, but let it be known I too think RS's posturing as on the left electorally is cap x.com/chairmanmeow...

The one comfort about "Left YIMBYism" is that, like progressive free tradeism of the 90's, it will eventually become impossible to ignore that it can accomplish none of its stated objectives. When that happens, we will have another chance to build a real renter coalition of old tenants and new.

Fuck off asshole Zohran is a socialist www.thenation.com/article/poli...

New post on the substack! Tl;dr - people in DSA mean fundamentally different things when we say "democracy" or "more democratic" open.substack.com/pub/jantesla...

...Are we just gonna pretend super Tuesday 2020 didn't happen? Obama is certainly familiar with the distinction even if you aren't. Like I understand there's a lot of historical illiteracy but goddamn.

Has AOC ever responded this much to left critics before? This one seems to have gotten under her skin

Okay this is very bad but the phrase "mean of reality production" just bums me out man. You know TV doesn't make stuff real right?

Man I am so deeply grateful to every dumb, red baiting, Zionist Reformist who kept DSA and the democratic traditions of the very old left alive long enough for the Bernie left to land in DSA and not Our Revolution. x.com/gracchusstru...

Disagree, he's pretty cool.

I'm a Zohran Field lead and I want an independent party... also a break I can't believe I'm losing my Saturday's for another 5 months lol

Damn Zohran's finally made the big time

"OH you can be a YIMBY and a socialist; it's harm reduction there's no question of principle involved!" I say as I free base political rat poison...

Based

1/ DSA stands in solidarity with working-class resistance to the escalating terror and repression at the hands of the Trump deportation machine.

I helped write an amendment to the National Labor Commission’s consensus resolution—“A Partyist Labor Strategy” shifts DSA away from economism w/o falling into sectarianism. Please sign it if you’d like to see it debated on the convention floor 👇🏻 discussion.dsausa.org/t/cr10-a-ame...

If we Include GW (which... yes and no) Partyism is 49% of NYC, which explains a lot of recent NYC beefing I think. x.com/aaronnarraph...

This is really cool! Socialist history in the US is way deeper and more impactful than we think. Also the social Democratic Herald was racist anti class politics trash lol

I'm blocking this man now, but I'm pissed because of the way people like this post for years show up to 3 canvasses and decide their the arbiter of who is an entryist. He is but one of a long historical list that destroyed the SPA.

Aren't you in New York? I have never seen your ass at a canvas, a meeting or anywhere bloviating at people actually do shit, shut the fuck up.

Great article on the incoherences of DSA thinking about the "general strike": www.marxistunity.com/light-and-ai...

help asli get back on her feet!!!!!! www.gofundme.com/f/alfs-mutua...

need to make sure our candidate who we didnt endorse wins by posting about arcane caucus drama on the official account. Mass politics

Wouldn't it have been cool if the statement made this point and not some vague moralizing bullshit about "vigilantism" it actually said?

Mass politics organizations are really short-circuiting some of y'all. I've seen accusations that DSA isn't REALLY democratic AND that national should ensure all members should adhere to a specific party line (that they decide). Everybody's a demcent leninist when the going gets tough!

3 things: 1 This post is dumb. 2 United fields and this caucus are dumb. 3 People in democratic organizations post dumb things and if that's unacceptable to you, you don't have the stomach for democratic organization.

Andor is an FBI psyop designed in a lab to teach all the wrong lessons about how to wage a revolution.

Prayers up for the GOAT 🙏😢

i am once again asking that we criticize Trump in ways that don’t venerate our undemocratic Constitution, which was written by slaveholders and capitalists and enshrines governing structures that restrict the political power of working class and oppressed people

Three Marxist Unity Group members ask: what does it mean for the socialist movement to win mayoral power, and what will it take? www.marxistunity.com/light-and-ai...

I just... guys they don't like us; you're not gonna make the pop front a real thing.
