Her's a real question for the DSAites in the chat: is there a single position that distinguishes DSA electeds from standard left wing Democrats who aren't affiliated with the organization?
I've seen chuddy bordiga cosplayers and libbed up pretend council communists, but I've never seen a libbed up or chuddy Damenoid/Battaglia enjoyer.
Guess we know who the real communist left is.

leninists think the course of proletarian history was
1-marx invented class struggle and critiquing capitalism
2-lenin invented organizing and doing revolution
What are you even talking about?
1. What's being described here isn't even tangentially a dictatorship of the proletariat in anyway.
2. The concept being laid out here is more similar to the party.
3. Lenin did not invent either the idea of the DOTP or the party.
"No more of such vague formulas as "The Right to Work" or "To each the whole result of his labour." What we proclaim is THE RIGHT TO WELL BEING: THE WELL-BEING FOR ALL" - Peter Kropotkin, p.62 ch.1 of The Conquest of Bread (yes that one part was in all caps in the book too)
I think it’s because the ousting of communists and radical socialists from unions, and the unions integration into state politic, kinda just broke a lot of revolutionary socialists and to this day they still have no response for it
communitarianism/Mutual aidism and protest politics serve the same opportunist function for the anarchist mainstream that electoralism serves for the socialist mainstream.
The restoration of anarchism to its place as the spear tip and most intransigent segment of the class movement in the USA will necessarily entail a complete divorce from the subcultural, communitarian, and protest oriented anarchism that has been hegemonic for decades.
We have some example of this in the 1962 split of the FAU that saw the classist wing of the organization retain the name, while the other group turned toward subculture. The FAU notably also required its members to be part of mass organizations.
