Anyone who doesn’t support the squad is “ultraleft” lol.
the term “ultra-left” has been misused by liberals
No surprise given how both Dems and Republicans both keep calling everything they don’t like “socialist/communist/anarchist”. Even though the shit they are talking about at any given time isn’t any of the three. The conservatives are like the washed up “hot-shot” high school football player that just wants to “go back to the glory days” and refuse to either move on or at least help coach new high schoolers. While the centrists/moderates/libs are like beauty contest contestants that like to make very nice statements about “why world peace is important” but have no understanding of how to do anything beyond surface level shit. Both of them seem to only agree that they want to stay in the way of the rest of us that are trying to put actions to our words.
Socialist Alternative may not be everyone’s cup of tea (I personally like them though am not a member), but they still have the will to fight. Many DSA members are as well, but this caucus and the more upper levels of leadership/membership have lost the will to fight (unless it is to attack the left). They have learned all the wrong lessons and are corrupted by the very Dem party and other centrists that keep the working class oppressed. Maybe the DSA can at least be a place for new anti-capitalist leftists to get their toes wet while learning basic stuff. But unless a much more militant and socialism focused membership takes back power from these clowns. The current DSA may just keep being a weird “allowable” wing of the “Blue no matter who” crowd for the Dems. Fucking sad to see such gaslighting.
The natural consequence of them masquerading as “socialists” and “Marxists” (don’t laugh!)
I wish they knew what that term meant. In this context, “ultraleft” would also mean siding against the unions because they’re not revolutionary enough.
We’ve had this after a strike. Union negotiates a deal. The ultra leftists leave because we didn’t hold out for FALC. And now they gladly cross the picket line. Baffling.
Imagine a self styled socialist organisation labelling basic support for unions - arguably the lowest possible bar for socialist politics - a form of ultraleftism!
The DSA have completely exposed themselves as an utter joke of an organisation with this open pearl clutching about the socialists inside their organisation. Anyone with serious socialist convictions inside their clown house of an org would do well to get out before they become part of the circus themselves. The DSA needs to be struggled against by a truly proletarian political organisation until it has been utterly rejected by American workers.
I don’t understand why there are 15000 caucuses within DSA each with its own set of brainworms. It seems like a black hole for the energy of people wanting to organize.

That’s because it is. “Big tent” organizing has very limited utility for exactly this reason. North Star is a fringe caucus, but it doesn’t matter, because having institutional discipline that places limits on just how fringe you can be would be too much like “democratic centralism” and threaten the big tent. Never mind that the DSA is actively hemorrhaging members right now, which is literally the only reason to adopt a big tent strategy in the first place: growth.
their logo is same as NATO’s but reskinned
that is so on the nose, eerie…
I was wondering why the hell it looks like a nazi-like emblem…
TFW the absolutely minimalist tradeunionism is “ultra-left”
Ultraleftism to MLs: boiling babies
Ultraleftism to demsocs: supporting the working class
