    “liberals” is such a broadly defined pejorative at this point and it absolutely does cover democratic socialists the way tankies use it.

      if they are pro capitalism, yes it does; i know many communists/marxists who are also in DSA that the label does not apply to.

        If the… democratic socialists… are… pro-capitalism…?

        Let’s examine that statement. Does it make any sense?

        Are you perhaps confusing democratic socialists with social democrats? Because those are different things, if you didn’t know…

          believe it or not there are people in the reformist org who are not interested in seeing capitalism go; the org is not a monolith.

          have you even been to a DSA meeting? i feel like i have probably been to more DSA meetings than you.

          Reformism is a dead-end, so demsocs may want socialism but in practice are limited to welfare capitalism. The intent may not be to preserve capitalism, but the effect ultimately reinforces it.

          I appreciate your attempt to educate these ponderous oafs but they’re only interested in keeping republicans in power.
