    Despite this faction, I don’t think he is acting according to its strategic and tactical plans (and I think simultaneously that these plans are not concrete, meaningful, of well planned enough). If he is, I’d be very surprised. But even so, a western socdem/democ party planning and process is incomparable to CPC policies in size and scope and durability

      Well, yeah, the DSA is a marginal nonprofit run by volunteers and the CPC is the ruling party of the worlds’ most powerful state. Theres gonna be a couple differences lol

        Definitely, but this is where I think XHS is wrong to make such a comparison. Relative to the CPC, anything similar Mamdani does with or without a DSA fraction can be characterized as individual and anarchic

        To be clear, this isn’t an argument saying that anything less than CPC size movement is worthless. It’s just that similar actions have incomparable aspects due to this factor
