Despite our differences on other matters of strategy, Unity–Struggle–Unity Press expresses its critical support to the Democratic Socialists of America in the organization of the Uncommitted Movement. We here address the Marxist caucuses within the DSA, and urge you to push the organization toward full-throated support of the Uncommitted Movement.
At present, partly due to the “big tent” the DSA harbors, there are many streams of “support” for the Uncommitted Movement — some revolutionary, and others less so. USU encourages the Marxist tendencies to come together and exert their collective power within the organization to support the most radical version of the Uncommitted Movement; that is, the direct confrontation against the Democratic Party machine. We urge you, also, to purify the DSA’s position and make it clear: the position is not to vote uncommitted in order to change the Democratic Party — it is to vote uncommitted to prove that the Democratic Party is not subject to proletarian pressure, that it cannot change.
We point here to our recent sister-piece, Defy the Democratic Party Coronation, for our analysis of the difference.
The difference may seem slight, but we believe that the distinction is critical. Even if the ultimate material consequence of the Uncommitted Movement is to expose the lies of the bourgeois politicians, if the guidance of the DSA is confused or muddled — if there are messages of reform intermixed with the revolutionary message — the ultimate outcome will result in a petit-bourgeois deviation from the true proletarian line: that we must abandon the electoral machine en masse, in an organized form, and prepare for direct confrontation with the genocidal enemy state.
Our Press Organization stands prepared to aid you in any way we can.
