A little more control ceded to the fascists, and we'll have a REAL Revolutionary Crisis(tm) which we can use to Right This Country! (lemmy.world)

What groundwork? I see more of the DSA and communist parties at 50501s than Democrats.

What a bizarre claim.

I don't see you pointing anything out that might refute it. The DNC is still operating in Business-As-Usual mode.

Most members of the DSA are also Dems. Communist Parties in the US are immensely tiny and, for that matter, often put forward positions that directly refuse cooperation with filthy shitlib movements like 50501.

Unless you have a remarkably specific local milieu, it's unlikely that you'd see more of both of them than of Dems.

Okay?

I'm talking about the 50501 on the steps of the Colorado statehouse on May 1st. The Democrats were not represented, but there were half a dozen socialist/communist parties with booths set up and about the same number of unions.

Missed the 'May 1st' part of it and made a comment referencing an earlier protest; it seems there was a small protest on May 1st that was hampered by two separate groups not coordinating.

I went to three protests that day, only one of them had any official party representation and it was a local politician who had a speech to give. Nothing that might actually spur people towards action.
