Bacon's Rebellion is such highlight of how deep this runs. Literally all lower classes, including slaves, united against the Virginia planter class, just because the Governor wouldn't genocide the Natives.

The private ownership of land is always the material cause. The lower classes of settler colonials always wants to flee their own society because of consolidated land ownership. Same as when early Virginian colonists wanted to run their own tabacco farm instead of share crop. Same as now with Israelis moving to cheaper rents in the West Bank.

Who the fuck else is supposed to be in this squad? Is it supposed to be just ๐Ÿฆƒ

Seems like a moot prediction fwiw. Things are going to accelerate regardless of whose in charge.

Hamas has an upper limit on how well they can perform which is proportional to how many anti-tank missiles they have stockpiled. The question here is how much will IDF conscripts be willing to tolerate before they start turning on command.

From what i've gathered, IDF conscripts are viewed as the expendables by israeli command. I suspect they'll eventually start forming independent, right wing militias to act as death squads after the invasion doesnt go as planned.

That said, IDF conscripts aren't actually expendable, and significant losses will intensify the anti-genocide movement in Israel.

You didn't define "anti-demcent" and it sounded loaded. Again, turn down the debate bro vibes.

There are full caucuses in the DSA that are demcent. Either ideologically or structurally I dont know. Few have their own websites and fewer still openly talk about their internal structure (for reference even the PSL doesn't say its demcent on its about page). But there's many guides to all the different caucuses.

The last one is interesting because it shows you the makeup of the 2021 convention delegates. If you scroll through you'll see at least one delegate from Socialist Alternative which is an external demcent org. Reform and Revolution is allegedly a breakaway from Socialist Alternative so its probably also demcent.

Yeah the author claims to have joined during the found but Silverman also said.

The DSA of which I was a proud lifetime member.

She must have been exaggerating.

[โ€“] captcha@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

In the fact that it is not demcent and has rules to prevent it from becoming demcent. You can still be demcent and be in DSA. There are literal demcent caucuses in the DSA. The article is basically the author complaining about those caucuses.

This is awful. Its just a bunch of videos of military men holding babies without their parents in sight. Idk why you or hamas thought this would be good propaganda.

think-mark So hamas is baby stealers not baby murderers?

At what point was I advocating for making DSA demcent? The rule prevents any demcents from making a coup attempt so being a hazard for them if they succeed is a positive. Its like a corporate poison pill clause enforcing the holy command: Thou shalt not splinter the org.

PS

If your thesis had the slightest bearing

Tone down the debate bro energy

She said "lifelong" as though like she was a member before. Wikipedia says "several years".

PS til she's older than the DSA.

Wrong, its a prohibition on multiple demcent factions splintering the org like they did with SDS.

You'd like to imagine you're ML faction should be at them helm but then you learn there's also a maoist faction and half a dozen trostskite factions who think differently. So its either get along or get the wall.

edit: "effective demcent" would just be to be demcent.
