That's right, the praxis thread is back, y'all!

Educated some friends? Shoveled a neighbor's driveway? Read theory? Helped a baby leftist friend dunk on the libs in an argument? Did volunteer work? Lets hear about it! Maybe it'll inspire others to get involved too! :)

      Because the original comment you’re responding to directly references me holding office.

      Regardless, you sound like an absolutely huge downer. You’re going to have to accept that not every movement is perfect and as long as it’s not actively hurting the socialist movement, which the DSA and mutual aid does not, it’s a good thing.

      You’re not even a member yet you make all of these big claims about how terrible they are, about how you know for a fact the marxists are lib lol, how they’re rebranded democrats despite the dem establishment always endorsing the DSA endorsed candidate’s challenger.

      You sound like the kind of person who says shit about how demsoc is awful but you still would’ve voted for Bernie. Get over yourself.

          Which socialist org are you organizing and working with? Here's all the marxist caucuses and groups that I know of in DSA.

              So you're just going to sit around and wait for someone else to come along and do the work or what? How do you think those groups were formed, just overnight suddenly? Are you part of any org? Do you do any organizing? DSA does a ton of labor organizing, tenant organizing, mutual aid, racial justice and environmental activism, anti war and anti imperialist campaigns, socialist education, etc. not just electoral work, and even in the electoral work its usually tied with community organizing. Having to have this dumb argument online with people on this site is haram, log off

                  Opposide:

                  But my local DSA chapter does a ton of mutual aid, helping people join unions, organizing protests constantly, running union members for political positions on pro-worker platforms, etc. These are all things that potentially improve material conditions and at the same time even if they are largely lib, opens more people up to the left

                  You:

                  My point is that the DSA is a waste of time at this moment.

                  Sounds like they're making pretty damn good use of their time, if you ask me. 🧐
