It’s only a slight exaggeration to say the Biden administration was a dozen aging moderates trying to manage a staff of 4,000 young progressives.

Democracy™

[...] Apparently, almost half of the members of the DSA’s leadership body identifies as Communist. The party is in alliance with the most brutal left-wing authoritarians from around the world, including in Cuba and Venezuela. Its New York chapter’s response to the October 7 mass murder and massremoved of Israeli civilians was to blame Israel for provoking the attacks.

Liberal values: mass murder through sanctions and genocide through sanctions AND bombs

[...] But other mainstream Democratic concerns seem to be moral. Something in the liberal heart recoils in the face of righteous ruthlessness.

Hitler particles

Everyone remembers the careers that were destroyed and the voices that were silenced by hard-core progressives in the peak woke era.

You're right. The issue was the woke mob as MAGA says, not the actual sex pests and pieces of shit who got "silenced" (meaning criticised on Twitter)

[...] Napoleon was onto something

Oh boy

In politics as in warfare, the moral advantage is to the material as three is to one. Right now, all of the passion is on the left. Progressives are showing once again that so long as your followers are fervently committed, it doesn’t take many people to commandeer a movement.

Hell yeah, 1 commie counts as 1000 libs

So far, no mainstream Democratic politician has seemed willing to stir up the hornet’s nest by taking on the progressive brigades.

Democracy™

The Democratic establishment risks responding to incipient left-wing authoritarianism

They said the word! They said the word!! Authoritarianism is when checks notes you win the elections to New York City mayor. Oh, and you're "nonwhite".

[...] To encourage my Democratic friends, I would remind them of this fact: The Democratic Party became great not while pushing against the right. It became great while pushing against the left. Democrats can argue against Republicans in their sleep. They have a comfortable set of moves they can go to: trickle-down economics, tax cuts for the rich. But mainstream Democrats have to think hard when arguing against the left. They have to toughen up. They have to clearly define what they believe and what they do not believe. They have to rally grassroots supporters willing to fight alongside them. They have to come up with some new agenda to compete with the get-everything-for-free agenda that the left is now offering.

"We were very comfortable in the two-bourgeois-party system and those pesky leftists are making us THINK!"

This kind of struggle has happened before—and it was the making of the modern Democratic Party. In the late 1940s, World War II had just ended, and the Soviets were in the process of brutally subjugating Eastern Europe, thus moving from an uneasy U.S. ally to an aggressive U.S. foe. People were becoming aware of the tens of millions of victims who had been murdered by communist regimes over the previous decades.

You heard it fellas, communist regimes up to the late 1940s (historically, only 1: the USSR) murdered tens of millions of people.

Soviet socialism in Russia was looking more and more like National Socialism in Germany

Healthcare, education, housing, work and pensions = colonialism and genocide

I refuse to continue reading forward. Good luck to whoever pursues consuming this trash. Here's an archive link

Notice them repeating the debunked lie of sexual assault on October 7th, just casually continuing to will it into existence. Same as all other atrocity propaganda: you just keep repeating it so over the years you have this consensus you've silently built that it-is-known

But at least the battle lines are clear. Every Democrat is going to have to ask themselves: Do I support the moral realism of the mainstream Democrats, with their pragmatic reformist temper, or do I support the progressives, with their utopian belief in human perfectibility and their willingness to concentrate power in order to take aggressive action on behalf of social justice?

pooh-wtf

I get that we’re living in an age of rising authoritarianism, but I was kind of hoping that the Democratic Party would resist the tendency.

The funniest shit is that the DSA, the boogeyman of the article, actually chooses option 1 (pragmatic reformism) too.

The second option. Even the way he says it still makes it seem cooler. The 'reformist temper' got us here. People willing to concentrate power in order to eradicate social justice are gonna need to be net with equal strength. He made up the whole utopian idea of human perfectibility, that's more the ubermensch guys and tech weirdos who wanna turn their brains into computers powered by orphan blood so they can pretend that counts as immortality. I'm pretty sure we just want innocentpeople to not be killed and for those of us who do the work to get what's ours. That's quite a far leap from whatever anyone would imagine as perfection. I hope he turns into a bug like poor Franz Kafka and gets eaten by a different bug
