My essay from last year examining the contemporary left using Lenin & Camejo’s concepts of ultraleftism just got published! Give it a read, I’d love to hear your thoughts

@vogliamo_tutto They’re welcome to continue to work with the SRA; this resolution being voted down just means the chapter won’t officially partner with them. Members are still totally allowed to work with them and even committees to do events and stuff

If you want to include something about yourself or your background in an argument, I think that’s totally fine and valid, but it feels like these spaces often expect you to do so, and I think it’s not necessary! It’s fine to just have an argument that isn’t tied to your identity

Philly DSA may have the highest proportion of bears in active membership I’ve seen in a DSA chapter? Further research required to verify: if you’re in another DSA chapter, tell me what your bear ratio is

We live under a GOG (Groyper-Occupied Government)
A staffer for Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency whose access to U.S. Treasury payment systems was approved by a federal judge on Thursday has links to a deleted social-media account that advocated for racism and eugenics.

The Democrats are the weakest and most unpopular they’ve been in years. Socialists should take advantage of the moment and run bold independent campaigns that openly fight fascism to claim the mantle of resistance that the Dems have abandoned

It betokens a structurally queerphobic society that one of the few remaining universals in American politics is “my political opponents are secretly sexual degenerates”. That being said, all conservatives are actually pedophiles #pedocon
