Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Look Cool; Vote DSA"
"Look Cool; Vote DSA"https://sinkers.org/stage/?p=4313
It's all in the name – Democrats first, Socialists second (if at all).
If you want to see what the DSA is really all about, just have
yourselves a long, steamy gawk at Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. It's about
sucking the blood of the Left by tempting us with fake "progressive"
politicians who insist that the DNC is an institution worth saving and
wasting our time and energy before zombifying the People's movements and
shuffling them off to the Movement Graveyard. But, hell; my peeps at the
Socialist Equality Party and WSWS lay it out a lot better in words than
I can at the moment. Here's a couple of points from the SEP's Ninth
Congress Resolution re: the DSA, Jacobin Magazine & ilk:
"16. The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is the initial
beneficiary of this radicalization. But the DSA is not a socialist
party. It is a faction of the Democratic Party, and its principal role
is to block the development of an independent political movement of the
working class, to capture the movement toward socialism and confine it
within the framework of the capitalist two-party system. Wherever it
holds office, this function is on display. In New York, Mamdani governs
in coordination with the Democratic establishment and the Trump White
House, imposing austerity on the workers who elected him, while
DSA-aligned officials preside over the destruction of public education
and expanding police budgets across the country.
17. The DSA’s central claim, that the Democratic Party can be
transformed from within into an instrument of progressive change, is
refuted by all historical experience. It is also exposed by the party’s
own response to the DSA’s electoral victories. The Democrats’ “centrist”
wing has issued a manifesto reaffirming that its members are
“capitalists” and launching a new witch-hunt against the party’s own
left."
