My favorite thing is when Libs equate the Dems with the DSA

Who you calling lib, lib? Democrats and DSA are both capitalists, one just wants to give a few more breadcrumbs than the other but are one in the same LMBO

As a member of the DSA there is a large and growing contingent of communists (hi hello) who are on their way to gaining hegemony in the org.

It is unfortunate that our two largest chapters are run by reformist soc dems but to compare the two orgs as the same is wild and speaks to your lack of any tangible involvement in trying to push the lines of socialism forward.

You are literally doing the thing in the meme.

How so?

Focusing on party conflict rather than the common goal. Idk the OP or the person who made this but I don't think the inclusion of the DSA logo is necessarily a dig, but rather acknowledging they have candidates running.

Disagree it is clearly painting DSA as the left wing of the democrats and not an oppositional force to them.

I have no interest in finding common ground with a faction that is pro genocide. I want to destroy them and make everyone see they are working against their interests as they move ever further to the right.

I didn't mean common ground with the Dems? You called the person who posted this a lib.

Eta: and the meme is saying that elections are not enough. I'm not going to get into an argument over voting, I literally do not care what anyone thinks about voting so long as they don't think capitalism can be voted away.

But you got angry the DSA was portrayed with the Dems and called OP a lib.

Get out and vote. If voting didn't work, they wouldn't try so hard to make you think it didn't work.

You guys are gonna keep saying this until the moment the camp gate clicks shut behind you.

Voting cannot genuinely overturn the ruling class of society. Only revolution or counterrevolution can truly do so.

neukenindekeuken@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 3d (1 reply)

Generally agreed (at least throughout history).

A revolution/counter revolution is almost always bloody though, so if there's a way to resolve things somewhat without bloodshed first, then that's the path that should always be taken before we start signing up people to die in a revolutionary civil war.

Cowbee@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 3d

There isn't another path. Revolutions generally can be bloodless, like the October Revolution, the ensuing civil war was the bloody factor. We can learn from that and do better.

You must make your daddy Putin so proud.

Why do you libs have to be creepy about it when you're dehumanizing people?

Alternative requires admitting reality

Cowbee@lemmy.ml · 15 pts · 4d

This is a fairly standard communist take, why involve Putin in this? Putin isn't a communist.
