Some short thoughts that may be off tangent. As someone who has been a long time member of the Socialist Party USA (since 1989), was a member of DSA back in 1988, and returned to DSA in 2016 (I am a member of a local DSA as well campus advisor for a YSDA group)....I think DSA has reached a point on the question of DP and 3rd parties. >From my personal experience working with young DSA members (late teens to 20 somes), many are new to socialism and don't really feel attached to the DP or have not really studied the issue closely. I bet that a good # of folks who have joined DSA fall in this category. This is where the old DSA guard faces the task of channeling (or sheepherding?) this large bulk of the membership into becoming loyal DP members. Opposed to this strategy are folks like Refoundation DSA (https://dsarefoundation.org) and others who are working toward an independent strategy. por el socialismo, Erik > > _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
