Iran is attacking Bahrain Petroleum Company (BAPCO) with missiles. The shift from military targets to energy targets is a clear signal of the U.S. and Iran going up the escalation ladder.

@BigMeanInternet I just don't feel that tension yet. Doesn't mean it won't happen. But also I think there are ways of approaching the end of capitalism and imperialism without alienating people or harming the overall project.

@SleepsterRyan Right so why be in an org that's gonna need you to hide your face/lie? Can still support for your own actual reasons from outside without being responsible for all that.

For my communist comrades in the DSA: What's the argument for a big-tent org, as opposed to a DemSoc formation pursuing those strategies to the hilt? Why don't we want them to just do their thing?

@BigMeanInternet Yeah, that's why I'm not really in favor of a two-faced approach, and I also don't know anyone who argues for that approach.

@SleepsterRyan I think some people want to govern a democratic socialist United States of America! That's the case they'll be making to the voters, not that they want to explode the American project.

@BigMeanInternet Yeah! from what I know most Marxists are on board with that idea. Some might quibble taking over the leadership of the Dem party I guess. But generally the idea is to force that confrontation.

@SleepsterRyan To contest and take over leadership within the Democratic Party, exploding the contradictions at the core of the liberal capitalist state. Undermines it if people vote to redirect energy from that strategy or make it harder to execute by saying what we know to be true about USA.

A plane in the United States was forced to land after the sound of the adhan was heard from a passenger's phone. A Southwest Airlines flight traveling from Tennessee to Florida was forced to make an emergency landing in Atlanta. Upon landing, a SWAT team boarded the aircraft and detained one of the passengers, accusing him of terrorism and posing a bomb threat. It was later revealed that the detained passenger was a Muslim. During the flight, his prayer-time app activated and played the adhan (the Islamic call to prayer). The crew reportedly interpreted the sound as a potential security threat, notified dispatchers, and decided to make an emergency landing.

I get that it's an opportune place to organize rn. Left electoral campaigns pull in lots of smart, somewhat politically protean young people and you help them become communists. Got it. But that doesn't undermine what we all need from a demsoc org rn?

@BigMeanInternet Hm, I don't know if I can answer to that side of things, other than to say that my dues and work help elevate DSA locally and nationally, which benefits socdem candidates.

@SleepsterRyan But how does that help the social-democratic strategy? How does turning members into real Marxists help elect AOC?

@BigMeanInternet The left groups have been able to successfully run candidates for DSA leadership and change DSA's political program thru convention and convos. I guess I see it as like a lot of people have these feelings abt the world that the marx caucuses are able to give language and form to.

@SleepsterRyan But how is that particular strategy helped by our participation within the org? Especially our mass membership?

@BigMeanInternet Okay this makes sense. Yeah I think the overall argument is that a big tent allows us to be a part of that terrain-changing strategy like you point out, while also allowing us to advance Marxist and communist lines of thought.

it could/likely would improve the terrain if struggle a lot. Not sure how it's helped by making them answer for the stuff I think is true. But clearly a lot of thoughtful comrades have come to other conclusions so I'm curious how you're all thinking about it.

@BigMeanInternet I'm having trouble parsing your question. Why don't we want DemSocs to have their own org pursuing their own aims? Is that the question?

Literally all the actually important Nazi scientists went to USA (operation paper clip) and the USSR. The two main ones were Kurt Tank and Ronald Richter: Kurt Tank actually returned to West Germany and died there. Ronald Richter basically scammed Peron in flimsy research.

Michigan’s Governor, @GovWhitmer, ran on a campaign promise to shutdown Line 5. Remember that? Today, after 70,000 comments submitted opposing the permit, she greenlit oil in our Great Lakes. Shameful.
