Since we're leftists, there shouldn't be many differences ideologically, but our community has its own jargon and idiosyncrasies which might be jarring to outsiders. Second, although we allow slurs, we are anti-bigotry and it will not be tolerated. Thirdly, the board has an anti-idpol rule. Meaning that discussion of idpol topics is not allowed. There is some flexibility. Where that flexibility is also requires some time to get the feel of it. Fourthly, don't put anything in the name, or email fields.

>Voat down >Parler deplatformed >8chan gone >Smaller forums (ironmarch etc) gone too >Mass bans on Twitter, FB, Twitch, fbi.gov >8kun and endchan basically dead >Q discredited >Trump gone <Only major platforms left now are Gab and Instagram (for now) So what's going to happen in the coming years? Even more extreme echo chambers (Gab is fairly mild compared to 8chan /pol/)? Doubling down? I don't see them recovering from this on the level of the 2010s. They lost their "culture war" and the petite bourg are being destroyed by the pandemic. Will people finally start caring more about class issues again?

So the class unity caucus came out with a list of reforms to the DSA so it can better fight for socialism: Grant democratic representation to organizing committees who, by no fault of their own, are stymied by the DSA’s inefficient, overloaded process for onboarding new chapters. If a local organizing committee which has met the 15 member threshold has waited in excess of 30 days for review by national DSA, they should be granted tentative rights by default to send a delegation to national DSA conventions equivalent to what they would be allowed as an officially recognized chapter. Implement Single Transferable Vote (STV) ranked choice voting as the means of conducting all leadership elections within the DSA, with membership provided the raw results of each vote to verify for themselves. This system would most accurately reflect voter preferences and ensure proportional representation of factions. If necessary, the DSA would fund the creation of an open source software package for conducting secure STV elections. Translate DSA’s website and essential documents into Spanish, soliciting volunteers to translate all essential documents going forward. It is the primary language of a significant sector of the American working class, and we will have to coordinate across divides of language and culture in order to take on capital, which is prone to utilizing nationalist tensions in service of pitting workers against each other. In addition, add the ability to request contact with a DSA member proficient in a needed language for the benefit of those reaching out to the DSA who are not fluent in English or Spanish. Comprehensively reform the national leadership structure in favor of accountability to the organization’s membership. The DSA needs a strong, centralized, democratic national infrastructure. Anything less allows the regional, state, and chapter-level organizational bodies underneath it to devolve into individualism and even opportunism. There are currently not enough opportunities for the membership to interface with the national organization and conventions should be held annually rather than biannually to address this. The membership must be able to decisively assert our platform and strategy, and be led by disciplined, democratically-elected leaders of the national organization to provide reliable administrative services and resources to carry it out. The current NPC structure needs a lot of work to meet this aspiration. Transition chapters to a universal committee structure that serves the chapters’ programmatic priorities while guarding against misuse and mission creep. The current working group model has unfortunately resulted in chapters containing small unaccountable projects operating in independent silos, some co-opted as vehicles for personal advancement, others limping along out of inertia as “zombie working groups” towards no discernable purpose, bound to voluntaristic rather than democratic decision making processes. Activities such as electoral or housing organizing are not goals in and of themselves, but rather must be carried out in service of grander tasks. We must also take care to avoid the creation of permanent NGO-style leadership boards that are inadequately committed to or responsible for the priorities of the membership and ultimate goals of the organization. Permanent status should be limited to committees that fulfill needs of utility and universal necessity (i.e. accounting, outreach, education). All further committees should have measurable and achievable objectives, produce regular progress reports to the membership, and be dissolved on a predetermined date by default. All committee positions should be elected by chapter-wide STV vote in elections scheduled after the committee’s establishment is approved. Create full time organizer positions sustained by member dues along the lines of “professional revolutionaries” in earlier organizations such as the SPD and CPUSA. Task them with completing key projects, hold them to high standards of professionalism and expectations of work, and typically have them serve for the length of projects rather than indefinite permanent positions. The DSA currently relies almost entirely upon unpaid part time volunteer labor, which limits capacity and the scope of our activities. Absent circumstances requiring great secrecy, these positions should be elected.

why does his existence cause so much anger ?

took him 1 day

I have to say that one of the greatest pleasures I've experienced in the last few days is the complete implosion of white identity politics for American conservatives. Explicit racial politics more or less completely ended in the 70s, but it's lived on in a sort of dogwistle-y, implicit way. A large chunk of white people were basically convinced that "whites" were all property owners who paid the taxes, while blacks and other minorities were all wards of the state (to this day, /pol/ refers to state services as "gibs me dat" if you had even a shred of doubt), and so, in their heads, neoliberalism was a way of enforcing a clandestine Jim Crow. Move everything into the the private sector (thus supposedly increasing white wealth and authority) and heavily restricting the welfare state (and thus supposedly disciplining blacks and other minorities). It has been one of the most satisfying things I've seen in a while to watch them all realize, as they get fired or banned off of (private) social media, that private property isn't some clandestine collective commons, but only for white people, it's private fucking property. It's been hilarious watching people who have spent the last few decades going on about muh negative rights suddenly flail about asking why their constitutional rights don't transcend property rights. How do you think the right is going to resolve this? Do you think they'll drop neoliberalism, or continue to cling to their delusion and say that the reason why neoliberalism doesn't promote white idpol is because the communist illuminati or whatever?

Not to say I’d prefer if imperialists returned to the day of being open, ardent white supremacists where mass murder was justified with spurious notions of “civilization” and “supple white coochie” being threatened; just wondering how sort of whacky it is that the exploitation and murder of the laborers primarily of the Global South has become wokeified in a sense. Not only woke, imperialism is, after all, mostly ignored; however you still got things like our heckin black four-star generals turning the ME to ruins, heckin girl boss woke pink feminist drone pilots bombing weddings, heckin based US Infantry in rainbow colored Humvees going to towns in Iraq and Syria to hand out candy and shit, heckin epic bacon Macron pretending like he’s trying to turn French into the most widely spoken language on Earth in order to “help” Africans and not to just restore the French Empire. Why does this exist? It’s almost like the pre-modern days of imperialism where it wasn’t racialized and subjects could expect to be integrated, except the imperialists also say the people they’re colonizing aren’t inferior at all and also they aren’t colonizing them. Is this “postmodern” imperialism?
