DSA Marxist-Leninist Caucus (Red Star)'s latest Points of Unity

"You're either with us, or with the terrorists."

It's bad analysis and worse politics, and least for trying to grow a leftist mass movement. It's bad analysis because one of the most defining features of the American political system is widespread disengagement, and one of the other most defining features is deep-rooted institutional resistance to radical change. So the argument boils down to "passivity equals complicity, even when the deck is heavily stacked against any meaningful form of opposition."

It's worse politics because "passivity equals complicity" has been a hotly debated philosophical topic as long as philosophy has existed, so you will never reach a broad concensus on the point. And that's setting aside the infinite rabbit holes surrounding questions like "what kind of actions do you need to take to not be complicit?," and the fact that "passivity equals complicity" is an attack on the very people we are trying to win over.

The better framing is: "You know imperialism is evil. Don't you want to be someone who helps create a better world?"
