I have no hopes in entryism anymore. I don’t resent anyone for feeling compelled to participate in the party. But in my heart of hearts I truly believe this party must be supplanted and destroyed.

They do much more to perpetuate the duopoly of party politics than any other entity in America and they make damn sure that any credible threat from a third party is seen as a joke by any ostensibly “gettable” political constituency.

They are as existential a threat as the republicans, if not more so, but for different reasons.

Officially the DSA's goal is to incubate a socialist caucus within the dems until its large enough to break out and form its own party. That said, I don't think any of the DSA reps are actually onboard with that plan. Its more like being in a good position to start a socialist party if the Dems implode.

If their sleeper cells aren't actually on board with this "plan" then it's not a plan, more like wishful thinking. Might as well hope a centrist randomly becomes a communist after getting elected, it's as much of a "plan" as this

They're not sleeper cells, they're openly socialist representatives caucusing together. But yes it is as much wishful thinking to hope our current reps would break with the dems as much as it is us getting enough socialist reps in office to do so.

I dont think that's in the program? Sounds Socialist Majority Caucus specific.

Dirty break strategy is a part of a national resolution to build an independent socialist party. SMC was against it and just wants to do basic entryism.
