Democratic socialism is a political philosophy that advocates political democracy alongside
a socially owned economy, with an emphasis on workers' self-management and democratic
control of economic institutions within a market or some form of a decentralised planned
socialist economy.

I have a hard time envisioning these "workers" being able to "self-manage" a group order for lunch, much less the complex functions and day-to-day decisions necessary to run an "economic institution."

Jazz hands trigger me because jazz was colonized by white people and fingers are used to pull triggers on guns and..... racism.

Come on down.  Come one, come all comrades.  First round is on you.  And the 2nd and 3rd...

Is it wiered that I feel compelled to attend?

Hawaii proudly represents at the DSA and stands up to denounce the  white supremecy infection at the DSA Convention:

Regarding the DSA National Convention

If we needed confirmation that the Democratic Socialists of America, as a system, is one tone within the voice of white supremacy, we got it this morning. Class analysis without racial analysis in the US cannot ever be socialism - it is just more of the quintessentially “American” phenomenon of white economic anxiety carrying the day in liberal political spaces.

A feminized black person spoke up courageously & vulnerably, in the spirit of democratic debate and “within the rules” at the DSA convention and was essentially shouted down by a chorus of shrill white voices, on cue. She spoke of her experience of racialized sexual violence as she tip-toed into the privileged world of contemporary sex work facilitated by the supposed safety of tools the information age allows.

I was somehow simultaneously horrified and unsurprised at the pace and fervor in which white people tore at the gift the body of the DSA convention had just been given. Her voice was attacked on parliamentary grounds from multiple angles; the subject matter was debated (out of order, as it was a motion to reconsider); the physical reaction of multiple white people standing up and queueing in the aisle anxiously anticipating their turn to shout down the black voice of dissent that dared question the structure of colonialism and patriarchy that provides them their very temporary respite from the ravages of capitalism…

The chair, the parliamentarian, the members who dared have their rubber stamped majority even be commented on, the makeup of the membership generally, the United States, the world - all supremely white. We must dissent and we must center those most impacted by systems of oppression and exploitation. Socialism cannot and will not win unless it is intersectional. I am a proud member of the Democratic Socialists of Honolulu today - an organizing body co-chaired by a brilliant and brave leader who graciously held a mirror to the contemporary US “socialist” movement in DSA.

a whole lot of hypocrites crying "me me me!" I have this and I have that. Don't trigger ME. THat's not what socialism is about

i heard a commenter say that this plays like a scene from "south park"
SNIP

Finally watched the whole video.  I'd totally want to find Comrade James Jackson of Sacramento and have people follow him around and laughing and carrying on the whole time.  Of course, everyone would have those flashing phone alerts when they get texts and stuff.   

How to these people function in day to day life?  That's the point, they can't, so they want to bend the world to their whims. . .

I could only get to about the 5:30 mark, but CHOCH! 

QUICK POINT OF PERSONAL PRIVILEGE 

Les Groseman would have a field day there.

QUICK POINT OF PERSONAL PRIVILEGE 

People with personal privilege trigger me...

How did some of those people manage to survive all these years.  I mean really.  I've seen real snowflakes more resilient that these people.  And they want to be leaders?  Man/woman/it-UP! 

Even moreso, after seeing this crap, how can the vast majority of the nation think anything other than  about DSA. . .

Imma gonna need a bunch of whiskey, in a loud establishment, surrounded by capitalist-minded people.     None of these nincompoops around.

This is why the far Left can't be allowed to have power. 

If they believe this crap, they are dangerous. 

If they are using people who believe this crap to gain power, they are even more dangerous.

I have a headache from watching this
start from 5:00

This is how mankind ends......

Conservatives protect the rights of individuals to behave this way.

Socialists/Liberals want everyone to conform to an ever-changing set of ambiguous rules and to be punished for offending others EVEN IF you tried to follow the most recent set of rules.

Is it wiered that I feel compelled to attend?

Is it weird I feel like joining you? (One of us has to lay back and record the likely altercation if the other says something out of line.

I know exactly what song we could sing though.
