But is he doing socialist organizing?
Election campaigns can be a tactic, like I said, but if that's the extent of his organizing then it can't accomplish anything else other than temporary electoral wins.
This is a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, delivering concrete wins purely through electoralism alone is absolutely impossible. If he doesn't have a larger strategy, other tactics to fall back on besides getting elected, then he's just going to run headfirst into the obstacles outlined in the OP.
Is there any strategy outside getting elected?
NYC-DSA has seen a massive increase in members during his campaign. His campaign has created more socialists that have joined a political party. For socialists in the current environment, I think that's one of the best outcomes of electoralism.
DSA isn't exactly a political party though as much as I wish it were. That said, I think it's still good people are joining. There are a lot of political lessons people will never learn unless they actually get involved in organizing work.
You are correct. I'm definitely speaking to my personal ambitions lol. DSA is in a stage where they're trying to figure out what a successful socialist party in America looks like.
