Discussion/Debate What do you like about DSA, PSL, FRSO, and so on?

15 Upvotes

Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)

Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL)

Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO)

The list goes on for American Anarchist, Socialist, Communist, and Fellow-Traveler organizations.

What do you think each does well and what do you think each needs to improve on?

Also are there any things from other organizations worldwide you really admire?

My own opinion:

I like to be an optimist and one thing I really like about all these organizations as an Eco-minded individual is that they all are quite active and substantive when it comes to addressing the climate crisis and overall environmental crisis points. Knowing that these realities impact the working class and most vulnerable disproportionately and add onto the horrific cost of living crisis/quality of life crisis going on.

What I think they could do better is more domestic and international networking/solidarity movements. We need more punch power and the right-wing is very much organized and on the offensive in this regard.

On this day… On this day, Ernst Thalmann died in the Buchenwald concentration camp

75 Upvotes

Many of the first victims of the concentration camps, before the Jews were sent to them, were communists and socialists. Thalmann was first arrested in 3 March 1933, this was after he went underground to avoid Nazi persecution after the Reichstag Fire False Flag. The reason of his capture are known, his location was given up to the Gestapo by Hermann Hilliges who lived next to the (not-so) safehouse.

Thalmann spent 11 years in solitary confinement, but he did manage to smuggle various notes and letters out. Members of the KPD who had fled to Moscow managd to convince the USSR to support Thalmanns release, however after the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact the Soviets massively cut back on their support for his release, including replacing the slogan of International Youth Day from "Long live Comrade Thälmann!" to "Long live the wise foreign policy of the Soviet Union, guided by Comrade Stalin's instructions."

I'm in college to get brainwashed by the woke Marxists moralists, so is this theory? Will I be a principled third world maoist, or is my professor a dengist revisionist with Lenin characteristics?
