America sucks and Americans are fucking morons

Reddit is a website full of Americans

DSA is basically only for Americans

Not sure what you expected

Agree

Atleast some spine would be showed by the MLs in the org but didn't happen.

Has been for a while. The UK colonized africa in the name of liberal humanism.

“Tankies” aka they don’t do the vote performance to the satisfaction of the Red Scare propaganda they’ve been uncritically marinating in for a lifetime

Yeah I’m sure Cuba sucks because you can’t vote for the “dismantle and destroy the revolution” party and expect to be elected and sworn in and legitimized by the apparatuses of the revolutionary government you’re trying to dismantle. Do these people even hear themselves? It would be an instant constitutional crisis. Of course it wouldn’t go anywhere.

[–] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 43 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Like many people have already said, "tankie" just means "person who opposes the West." It has nothing to do with Marxism-Leninism or any form of socialism or being an authoritarian. Easiest sign is how Russian ultranationalists and Han chauvinists get labeled tankies while Hindutva fascists and Grey Wolves fascists don't get labeled tankies even though all four are non-Western reactionaries. The key difference is that Russian ultranationalists and Han chauvinists oppose the West for dipshit reactionary reasons while Hindutva fascists and Grey Wolves fascists can't even do the bare minimum of opposing the West. This is why they are almost never labeled tankies.

The only exception is the Axis of Resistance. They get labeled as "Islamist" even though members of the Axis of Resistance come from different branches of Islam with some members like the PFLP not even being Muslim at all.

At a certain point, the two terms will converge. "Tankie" will mean "non-Muslim Islamist," and "Islamist" will mean "Muslim tankie." Islamocommunism is the new Judeobolshevism. Hegseth has been very explicit in this.

Dsa has its own forum for talking about DSA, which is cursed in its own way but is very different from /r/DSA which I suspect is a mix of inactive and non-members

[–] Antiwork@hexbear.net 40 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The DSA as it currently stands is not a real organization. Most people who joined have been in the past 5 years. They were all libs before that. The fact they aren’t all MLs is not surprising and not even to be expected. Going into these groups and pushing the people and organization left is still a good thing. And I support all comrades who do that important work.

[–] Notcontenttobequiet@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I joined originally after Bernie in 2017, kind of lost interest after awhile. All of the radical members left afaik. I rejoined recently and oh man is everyone libbed up. Someone started talking about the Uyghurs in a group chat and I wanted to throw my phone at the wall. It would be great to try to push these people left, but I feel like I don't I'm the person to do that.

[–] Antiwork@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago

Many such cases. I think the best way to bring about change is to join groups like Red Star (I believe is the name) within DSA who have an organized plan to push DSA left. Arguing with libs who are active because they want to have a friend group doesn't really work well.

[–] Saymaz@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Half the group is just western Chauvinist assholes.

[–] Antiwork@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago

What does that have to do with what I said? Local caucuses vary drastically depending on the already existing leftist groups in that area.

[–] RaisedFistJoker@hexbear.net 31 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The dsa must be recognised as real enemies of the marxist movement

[–] redchert@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Sooo tricking people into socialism via calling it meager grocery subsidies, is doomed to failure!!?!?

[–] hotcouchguy@hexbear.net 27 points 1 week ago (3 children)
  1. Not surprised that the DSA Redditor caucus would post things like this

  2. How can someone correctly identify the problems with capitalism, see through that propaganda, but when it comes to imperialism they just completely accept what they've been told? Like they presumably know they were lied to about Iraq, and Palestine, but I guess they think they were told the truth about DPRK and Cuba and Venezuela and probably China as well?

tbh i don't think they correctly identify the problems with capitalism. at least not in their entirety. they might have resolved to maybe-possibly consider a resolution to censure aoc (at least that's where they were last time i checked up on them), but they're still the party of bernie sanders "socialism". i respect certain caucuses within the dsa but their overall party line is still very much "equitable imperialism". here's hoping they can become not like that

[–] CrookedSerpent@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago

The unspoken truth is this; they realize, to some degree, that they are the beneficiaries of imperialism, and so their ideology reflects this willful ignorance to the nature of the current world order and socialism's place in it. They only support socialism domestically (nominally) in the first place because they perceive some personal benefit.

[–] Moidialectica@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago

It's hard to let go, you don't want to be known as the person defending DPRK when DPRK is known as the worst thing possibly ever; though NOT defending cuba, but even attacking them, is baffling

[–] nefertum@hexbear.net 24 points 1 week ago

Last time I spoke to a US leftist about world wide socialism they told me China is fascist. I think people in the imperial core have blinders on.

[–] combat_brandonism@hexbear.net 20 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

look I'm no dsa booster but anyone can post on reddit dot com

in fact its normie appeal as a pseudonymous forum was second to only twitter and it's gotten comensurrate natsec attention as a result.

but where these posts and votes are organic reflections of the membership, it shows the limitations of no demcent*. at least they changed that ban a couple months ago

Yeah this is a cringe post tbh. Anyone who thinks they understand an entire organization based on an unofficial subreddit, is a dipshit.

You don't have to like DSA, but dislike it for an actually informed reason. No investigation, and all that.

[–] Saymaz@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 week ago

The DSA are the 21st century version of the AFL-CIA.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago

The fact that tankie isn't in their automod filter says enough

[–] LadyCajAsca@hexbear.net 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What's the PSL slander about?

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 23 points 1 week ago

They're mad that people are leaving the DSA for being feckless do-nothing milquetoasts and joining PSL because PSL actually does things

You know what? I'm still on a wait and see with Mandami. Maybe, for whatever reason, he feels like he has to comment on this to win (I don't think he does, but whatever). Talk is cheep. I'm willing to prolong my disappointment until after I see how he acts in office.

[–] Saymaz@lemmygrad.ml 48 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Imagine feeling the need to desecrate the Cuban people's revolution just to win a city Mayoral election. He didn't even need to answer any questions on foreign relations. He ain't a senator.

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 32 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Right?

The correct answer on foreign relations should be "Call your congressman"

Why the mayor of NYC has to pretend to be President Jr. confounds me

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago

i think the media only knows how to cover presidential elections so they treat the county dog catcher like his opinion on the chicken tax matters.

[–] ufcwthrowaway@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

NYPD has a mutual aid agreement with the IDF. The stock exchange sees capital from all over the world flowing through it. NY politics are global politics and the stances of its leadership matter to how they govern

[–] redchert@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 week ago

I am sure the hiring freeze will finally end NYPD foreign imperialism

[–] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 17 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The correct response is to pivot to an actual Caribbean island that faces daily oppression called Puerto Rico.

[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Exactly! Especially considering how many Puerto Rican New Yorkers there are in the city

[–] redchert@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Mamdani is chasing the wealthy cuban gusano, not the primarily working class boricua populace of NYC.

[–] TheRogueKitten@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Who outnumber the gusanos... about 3 to 1.

[–] redchert@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 week ago

The working class and oppressed make up the vast majority of this earth, yet despite this numerical advantage they are rarely catered to.

[–] TheRogueKitten@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago

Best answer!

We've been getting shit on since 1898.

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago

i'm facepalming that he even comments on that stuff but it's really not relevant to the job so this is like a personal disdain for the man now. he sucks, but he might do a few materially good things for people so unlike a federal election there's actually a baby in the bathwater.

[–] ThereRisesARedStar@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

DSA redditor caucus is bad, DSA elected from a right wing chapter says cringe, etc etc.
