Honestly its rude to be invited by a country to meet their president who decided to respond to your criticisms of their administration only to not show up and go meet the opposition.
Being invided and then no showing shows complete disregard to basic diplomatic Etiquette since it was a mission to show solidarity against the embargo
Bonus socdems being cringe part 4.5: about another member that didnt show up to the presidential meeting
Deeply unserious people
The trots that infiltrated the DNC thought the same thing back in the day, but look how that turned out.
I guess the question is is the DSA hopelessly captured by the dems or not? I know my local chapter isn’t, I know some who are, I’m not sure about nationals.
Personally, I would say it’s a completely reformist institution with about as much hopes for achieving socialism as the eurocommunists of the EU do.
I’m not particularly against people being a part of it or other organizations as long as they are gaining good experience and education that they can carry on with them in their life and other more professional parties should try chose to move on.
Well that’s kind of the key isn’t it. DSA’s structure is going to be worthless in any sort of revolutionary crisis. However, communists in DSA have access to an audience of underdeveloped but sometimes open minded libs that are willing to listen and learn. They can help convert them into the kinds of organizers with good politics that will be necessary for any future party to succeed.

I disagree that’s it’s pointless. I think it’s a necessary precondition towards building an effective party that actually has a mass membership given the conditions of the US. However if people disagree and want to join PSL or CPUSA instead then they should!
