Four strategic aims, and listing some powers that socialist electeds have to help achieve them
The revolutionary endpoint, political capture versus developing socialized productive forces, building revolution in the womb of the old economic system
Discussing different causes of socialist elected self-moderation, and to what point it can ever be strategically justified
Discussing the limitations on legislative possibility from the institutional structure of government, working class alignment dependency on capitalist economic circuits, and the social reactionary beliefs that arise from alienation between people.
Introduction, a brief overview of DSA electoral strategy, and a brief of my views
Las Vegas DSA recently put out a good retrospective on their 2021 capture of the Nevada Democratic Party’s leadership positions. Unfortunately, a disappointing outcome, but good socialist analysis.
“Freedom is always and exclusively freedom for the one who thinks differently.” — Luxemburg, 1918, The Russian Revolution
Luxemburg is not advancing a liberal, idealist moral concern—instead, she is advancing a material, practical concern about the development of scientific socialism. She emphasizes that socialism is best developed by proletarian improvisation, experimentation, and iteration; but this requires freedoms which the Bolshevik party was not extending to the Russian people.
Summarizing Marx’s analysis of the contradiction between ‘capitalist social relations’ and ‘the productive forces developed under capitalism’.
Not actually strange from the perspective of deontological ethics.
I recommend this book! A summary of how we might go about expressing and hearing our observations, feelings, needs, and requests.
Fascists are strategically building a “parallel economy” in a way that has superficial similarities to the left’s strategy of building dual power. What's the difference, and how does this affect our analysis of building dual power?
Fascism funnels a fear-based individualism into coordinated, exclusionary political actions. It sucks.
