I dunno. I’ve met a lot of our local DSA girls. They’re cool and nice and a lot of them are MLs! I love them and consider them comrades.
It’s undialectical to get caught up in “X good, Y bad” politics. Zohran is good in some ways and bad in others, but he will not be leading a true proletarian movement in the U.S. That’s what the proletarian party, the PSL, is for. Zohran is just a part of the Socialist periphery. And he’s alright as a part of that periphery! But he might not be alright forever. There was a point where Trotsky was alright, and then he wasn’t anymore.
When the PSL endorses a candidate besides Zohran, vote for them. Until then, vote for Zohran. Not in New York? Not your problem! If you want to get involved, join an org (PSL if they’ll take you, someone else if they won’t), do some work. If you don’t, get drunk and get laid. Build community. Get out there! But I’m just annoyed by the “Zohran good, Zohran bad” stuff. Why not “Zohran okay”? “Zohran good in some ways and bad in others”?
