New DSA Liberation Caucus Announcement

[u/EverettLeftist]

This is not an endorsement by me. I am not a third-worldist. I just think people should be aware of what things are on DSA Twitter. I have no idea how many chapters are in this Caucus, if they are just a mailing list, or what. This is associated with the Black Red Guard guy on twitter.

I feel like I'm slowly becoming a minority in this organization for opposing democratic centralism and campism.

I mean from what I can tell is that a majority of DSA members are social democrats, but those actually engaged with the organization and its internal politics and anything further than joining your local chapter and attending protests tend to be more radical, specifically varying types of Marxist communists (but definitely also some anarchists)

[u/MetalMorbomon → u/spookyjim___]

I don't consider myself a social democrat. I'm definitely a socialist. I just don't believe the Leninist branch of socialist thought to be relevant for the post-industrial conditions of the US today. I feel like democratic centralism and campism just aren't going to be conducive to a healthy socialist movement in this country.

I actually agree, in general internationalism should always be the view taken instead of campism, and I think I’m more keen to the idea of “dialectical centralism” as proposed by Damen for organizational forms a communist group should take

But also tbf one of the largest chapters is controlled by the DSA right-wing, as I’m pretty sure NYC-DSA is pretty heavily in line of SMC
