Around the 20 minute mark a discussion begins about DSA and its successes but also pitfalls. One problem discussed is when a candidate from a radical membership organization gets so big (AOC, Mamdani) that they can break from the org on an important issue (such as endorsing ‘AIPAC Monkey’ Jeffries to be Speaker of the House) and because of their clout, the membership org is not able to effectively discipline them.
One of the reasons why I've been studying Mao is he didn't fall into any of these deceleration reformist traps to which so many revolutionary movements succumb. But he also didn't just stake out a position of ideological purity and stay out in the political wilderness! This is what he defined as the problem of the dogmatists vs empiricists.
If we could do what DSA is doing we'd be light-years ahead of where we are today as a movement. But to do what Mao did, and successfully carry out a radical revolution without succumbing either to compromising away our ideals or purity spiraling to the point of spinning off into total political irrelevance, is orders of magnitude more difficult!
But this must be our ultimate goal if we are serious National Socialists.
