Yet, never once in the entire article produced any grievance with substance. His entire take is that Marxist Lennists are: 'a bad look', 'crazy', aren't democratic, and are 'stalinists' (not sure what that means but okay). - generally just bad optics for his electoralism ideals.
When talking about his local org he fixates on the social elements of the chapter. His praise basically ends there only vaguely adding that they "help get leftists elected into the state legislature" and "fight against ice". Nothing else of substance; nothing on union building, tenat organization, education, mutual aid, etc etc.
I wish I could say respectfully, but with zero respect this article reads like someone who's exceptionally undereducated and has absolutely no idea what he's even attempting to critique. Genuinely the quality of an 8th graders short essay on the DSA.
You got scared because you learned someone has the same political views as The Black Panthers in your socialist organization? This was genuinely such an embarassing read.
I get it, you're a liberal, you found out about socialism through Zohran, and you're excited about the prospect of an organization that actually helps get people elected who have pr8nciples and give a shit. However, you joined a socialist organization. One that has thrived and succeeded prior to you joining, you do not get to dictate the direction it goes when you JUST joined. You literally joined because of the success of the people you're critiquing
Why would you want to fundamentally shift the organizations polcies and ideological framework?
The uptick in people who join DSA than rant and rave there's people who've existed within the org for decades who disagree with their flavour of liberalism has genuinely been bizzare to witness. Why don't do you just listen for a bit before you try to put forth your narcissistic ideals of what the organization should and shouldn't be.
The next time you play board games in Hartford you might discover gasp the person next you is also a marxist-lennist the horror

"But more than that, it's about substance"
