Whenever I see "working class", I stop and think. The DSA Platform says it 30 times but doesn't define it. Is it blue collar? Lower class? Middle class? Does it include a Silicon Valley software engineer with a $300k salary? We ARE in a class war, but it's arcane. At least it isn't "proletariat". 😀
We, the working class – nurses and teachers and farmworkers and letter-carriers and parents that make the world turn – have the power to be agents of change and the protagonists of our own story, and now is the time to exercise that power.
We fight not just to end the tyranny of one billionaire overlord over the headlines, but also for the ability to control our own destiny as a class and do with our time, energy and resources what we will.
IfDSA manages to discipline any of the House reps, even just one, who voted to censure Al Green I will consider the possibility that your pronouncements aren’t the grandiose, self-important hot air they appear to be.
It's refreshing to see the term that's the key to everything: organization. Without it, nothing happens. No amount of marching, sign holding, or slogan chanting will make a whit of different. And it's doubly true now that we've entered into America's first autocracy.
