Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
This is chapter by chapter. My local chapter voted against running candidates on the Dem ticket. And are critical of using limited DSA resources for candidates they know would ultimately be unaccountable to them once elected. I think some members of the chapter might be on here.
How can an organization function as a working class party when half of the chapters are liberals and social fascists?
Half the chapters aren't. Currently the left is in the majority albeit an uneasy one.
NYC has a large electoralist contingent, and there are problems sometimes reigning them in. There is no working apparatus to discipline electeds. Breaking from the democrats is hotly contested, active debate.
I think you will not find many liberals and "social fascists" (lmfao) in DSA. there is a large, organized, moderate tendency but they aren't liberals. Def some people are social democrats but that's different and they aren't in the majority nationwide. Though there are many in NYC DSA, they would be left progressive social democrats, and their influence is waning due to radicalization pressures everywhere.
But to answer directly, its an experiment
Since the vast majority of “leftists” in the US actually are social fascists I seriously doubt this is true.
