The (IMHO) workerist, economist and class-reductionist Spring Caucus of
the DSA (the current formerly known as Momentum which maintains the
socialistcall.com website has dissolved due to "significant and
unresolvable disagreements over how to relate to other DSA tendencies,
how best to relate to anti-oppression mobilizations and demands, and the
nature and role of our caucus in DSA."

I wrote a rather extensive critique of their politics on the national
question in the United States as it related to Latinos and undocumented
immigrants.

This post was written looking forward to the DSA convention. Although
finished, I had not made it public, unsure as to whether it would
further complicate an unfortunate situation where some caucuses had been
formed prematurely, leading others to also form caucuses in response.
Now with the just-announced dissolution of the Spring Caucus, the
situation has changed.
I joined one of the counter-caucuses to Spring, the Socialist Majority
caucus. And a related reason for not posting this article is that
Socialist Majority had decided that, as a group, it would limit itself
to presenting our own vision for the DSA as a multi-tendency
organization, and not a critique of other viewpoints.
"The Call" announces the dissolution of the Spring Caucus
So it had not discussed a lot of the ideas presented in this article,
and, frankly, I would have been against the caucus or the DSA adopting
them as such; at this stage of its development, the DSA should remain
open and inclusive of many currents, including those of comrades who
disagree with me, such as the authors of the two documents I criticize
below.
