We have removed Tenderfoot Tactics from sale on @xbox.com in solidarity with @bdsmovement.bsky.social . We call on others in our community to do whatever they can to fight this historic injustice. Free Palestine 🍉
The Tenderfoot Tactics team has decided to remove our game from sale on Xbox in solidarity with the Palestinian-lead Boycott Divestment and Sanctions campaign, which added Xbox to their priority boycott list earlier this month. We hope that Microsoft will listen to the voices of their workers and customers and stop all business with the criminal Israeli military, which we have all watched conduct an open genocide in Gaza over the last 18 months. We hope that the broader community will join in the pressure campaign and fight for an end to occupation and apartheid in Palestine and across the world.

If you're mad about these layoffs (and every other layoff that's happened over the last few years in this trashfire of an industry) please sign & share this petition. Channel that rage into action. It's just a small 1st step, but it's an important one.

Video game workers strike back. Over the last few years, game workers have been struck by unprecedented mass layoffs, driven by corporate greed and short-term profit seeking. While employers treat us...

DSA members who dont work on electoral projects? we do union organizing, strike support, mutual aid, internationalist solidarity projects, protest organizing/support/safety, education, internal democracy building, immigrant support, and a lot more.

dawg im just a member, i didnt write this myself, idk. like i said, it can and should be contested if it's not the correct position. personally i assume DSA does not align with everything i believe, but also DSA's platform and my own beliefs are constantly evolving, hopefully towards truth

DSA's agenda is set and revised every 2 years by a convention of delegates from the various chapters. Depending on the specifics of what you're wanting, the current platform may actually include it:

.. but if it doesn't, it's something that can be contested.
DSA Political Platform - Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)
Preamble The Democratic Socialists of America are fighting to win a world organized and governed by and for the vast majority, the working class. We are socialist because we share a vision of a humane ...

Communists Belong in DSA
Too often, DSA is dismissed as a purely social democratic organization, and outsiders discount the communist organizing within it. As a Marxist-Leninist DSA caucus, we reject this narrative. DSA is ou...

DSA is just a name. Lenin's org was called the Social Democratic party too. there are a ton of people within DSA who share your position 100%, and the org is democratic in a way that makes joining and fighting over the national position worthwhile imo.

without a doubt there are cops in all large socialist orgs. the leader of the SR Combat Org in revolutionary russia was a policy spy. DSA is not exclusively an electoral org, and our electoral work is building a party that goes way beyond voting

Marxist Unity Group is one of several marxist caucuses in DSA. Caucuses are unofficial from DSA's perspective, but are very important in how DSA's democracy functions on a national scale. My experience with MUG members has been positive, but I haven't read all of their theory (they have a lot).

ig I'm curious what decisions NPC made that you wish could have triggered a recall vote. maybe you disagree with the dropped endorsement of AOC? just guessing since you disagree with LSC on electoral issues

badru @sonofbadru.bsky.social · Jun 19
i like the idea of making NPC recallable but don't think that's primarily what 1m1v would do.

imo national's errors have mostly been right deviations and i believe 1m1v would benefit the right wing of dsa, which is why they're so strongly advocating it

I'm not trying to describe representative vs direct democracy generally. i am not interested in that. I'm describing my current exp with delegation vs the proposed new system

this is coming from my own experience as a dsa member at various levels of involvement. i love delegating and trusting when i don't have the time to become highly informed

this is an incorrect understanding of materialism as a concept but also you're being kind of a jerk so I'm gonna disengage

sorry i assumed marxist literacy. it's undialectical because it doesn't observe the issue in is context. it's idealist (rather than materialist) because it tries to take a stance on the idea generally rather than looking at the real effects and historical reasons for things. dsa and the usa differ

i dont think this is a very dialectical or materialist perspective. direct voting is good in some contexts and less good in others

i dont think majoritarian democracy means everyone voting on everything all the time. i think its important to delegate and trust

we vote for delegates who we know and trust and work with intimately locally. we entrust them to become highly informed and to try to steer the national org properly on our behalf. they then elect a national body to manage their direction.
vs
we vote directly for national candidates we dont know

i dont think that 1m1v in the dsa context would improve chapter democracy. i think it would erode the human connection between chapters and national and create a very flimsy replacement in direct voting. LSC obviously doesnt oppose 1m1v because of some general opposition to 'democratic reform'

thanks for sharing! im interested to see what another anarchist caucus could bring to the table perspective-wise. look forward to hearing more about this in the future.

my experience locally is that LSC members are very committed DSAers actually, run our GMMs effectively, act as national delegates

IME the left coalition (or at least Red Star x LSC which are locally prominent) is held together by a genuine shared interest in building lively internal chapter democracy, and by shared internationalist and anti-imperialist principles
