No it isn’t, it’s counter effective because it helps maintain the liberal parties as the farthest left conceivable parties.
If we instead convinced people to become communists instead of uselessly voting for liberals we would have more actual communists.
Um, actually, propaganda can technically be in the presentation of true facts. It can also be a promotion of a certain philosophy that interprets those facts in different ways.
Occupied by who, lol, their own bourgeoisie? So is every capitalist country.
Absolutely vote? Wasn’t it the democrats who originally started using those concentration camps? Why the hell should we keep supporting liberals as an obligation, this kind of stuff is why you’ll never move left of the Democratic Party.

We were never promised anything.
Don’t worry, they just want to stop the heat death of the universe or something like that.
The DSA is mostly silent on Iran, probably negative, holding the lib position of the war being bad for Amerikkka, has opposed direct action in support of Palestine, claims Cuba is a dictatorship, made questionable remarks on Venezuela at a time when the US was terrorizing the people there, and it seems they support the continuation of the Russo-Ukrainian war.
Let’s not forget the popular candidates: Mamdani, who has done nothing of substance to fight against American imperialism (saying things doesn’t count if you do otherwise), Graham Planter (who wasn’t a member but rallied more support in the party than actual members), a mercenary for Blackwater (enough said, Christ, that alone makes them at least as bad as Democrats, even the most liberals thought supporting a mercenary who brags about raping and pillaging was in poor taste), and Abdul El-Sayad, literally bourgeois, owns property in the UAE (a country guilty of genocide in Sudan greater in scale than what has happened in Palestine) and says he explicitly supports capitalism. These are your greatest fighters?
Also they are explicitly anti-communist, so its more like that they’ll block movement left and act as a controlled opposition to absorb would be communists and make sure that the farthest left conceivable position in the US are social democrats like them.
So, no, voting for them now does nothing and if it did, it’d actually be against your interests if you want actual socialism in the US and not social democracy subsidized by imperialism. At one point I did think the DSA might be okay, it clearly wasn’t and I was wrong. Graham Platner was the fucking last straw for me and the Demokkkratikkk $$ociali$$t$$ of Amerikkka, it should have been earlier, and then they only kept piling the straw higher.
And my blood sugars are better today (I have type 1).
I mean, maybe, if you’re arguing we inflitrate the DSA, but as soon as they start opposing all this and making compromises you’ve gotta break up with them. I think we’re well past the point of breaking up with them. When they don’t have solidarity with anti-imperialists in the global South, that’s when their actual goals become irreconcilable with a communist movement.
Organizing a communist party using mutual aid, propaganda, labor strikes eventually, and any other viable methods, never conceding an inch of power to the bourgeois government and growing popular support and dual power by any means necessary, patiently, only taking illegal or violent action when the gains exceed the members arrested or killed. Accept that you have a legitimate chance to get killed or imprisoned by the police.
Once the foundation for an armed revolution is created wait until there is a spontaneous explosion of some kind (like the riots in France rn, but larger) and seize the moment to start engaging in actual warfare against the state.
Prepare for a drawn-out civil war, horrific beyond the likes of which you’ve ever thought possible to witness, that kills probably over 400,000 people. Also, prepare for the side you’re fighting to receive substantial imperialist military aid or outright foreign military reinforcements.
At the end of it, if you succeed, then humanity gains one precious chance at never repeating all of this stuff again.
That’s roughly what it’ll look like.
THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT CO-OPS!! THEY’RE USING THE WORD COOPERATE AS AN ADJECTIVE TO REFER TO CO-OPS!
“A COOPERATE MANAGER”
“A cooperate manager.” LMAO
This smuck is like: “corporate managers—not to be confused with cooperate managers.”
doesn’t make the least bit of sense.
cooperate managers
Oh, boy.
“Our bodies are a source of so much joy—” I’mma stop you right there.
Bikes, though, bikes never hurt me.
Yeah, also consider that the person depicted in this meme isn’t fucking real!
Do you think we just support stuff because of its socialistness? Should we not support Iran against the US just because they aren’t socialist? Or Hezbollah, or Hamas? None of those are socialist, yet, I would hope you support them against Israel.
Supporting Ukraine and cheering on the destruction of Russian infrastructure kinda reminds of something like supporting the US-led liberation of Kuwait and cheering on the destruction of Iraq.
I’m fine with someone having a negative opinion of China so long as they don’t use that as a purity test and demand everyone else denounce China, calling people “fascists” or “tankies” and refusing to work with them otherwise.
There are people who think China is actively imperialist instead of a semi periphery country and is as bad as the US and Western Europe, or even that they’re worse, and that China deserves to be balkanized and beaten down. Those people are not leftists, they are Western chauvinists.
Then there are people who may have a negative opinion on China, but will defend China against imperialist extraction and aggression. Those people are leftists that don’t like China.

The DSA is the compromise with the genocidal rapist pedophiles that exists so that nobody will do anything too drastic about the situation, so it can go on and on without change.
I remember people being deported all the time under liberal administrations technically legally, and you were all silent about it. What’s happening now is the natural extrapolation of where that was heading.
