Against mutual aid? Yikes. Even as an individual who isn't a member of a party I've had plenty of success working with mutual aid groups. Absurd for them to dismiss one of the only proven pillars of socialist success within the imperial core.
I knew about most of the rest of this, but to see it all laid out like this...damn. This is such a fed party that I'm amazed anyone could actually support them. They might as well just join the democrats.
It's completely ridiculous and if this is at all accurate this is a damning indictment of that party. I mean if mutual aid is supposedly so “ineffective” and “not worth it" (even though it has a proven track record of success) then what the hell do you call telling people to vote for the Democrats which has proven over and over to be an abject failure of a "strategy", if you can even call it that? I can think of nothing that is more ineffective and not worth it, in fact i'd say it's downright counterproductive.
What kind of success do you mean? Recruitment?
Helping people and getting them more socialism minded and anti-capitalist. I think trying to recruit people via mutual aid makes it less "aid" and more of a transactional experience. With mutual aid we show people there are different ways to do things beyond capitalism, and that community and togetherness are far more important than chasing the dollar. Trying to recruit people, like your org is a pyramid scheme or a cult seems likely to just turn them away.
