Marxist: Let me mock one of my closest ideological allies. That will help bring about revolution.
Democratic Socialist: The fuck did I do to you, bro?
Democratic socialists are not our ally
And that's why you've got no chance as a movement. And you couldn't create anything sustainable even if you did. Congrats.
Marxists control the world's largest economy by PPP, democratic socialists don't come anywhere close to that. If you're making a jab at Marxists on the basis of relevancy and sustainability, the best the democratic socialists had was less than 5 years in Chile before comrade Allende was couped.
A succesful united front is only achievable by picking your fights. Focus on the capitalists, not on who may eventually turn sympathetic to our worker's cause. When the capitalists divide us, it won't work.
(Speaking as an ancom).
Democratic Socialists are anti-communist. Either they are reformist, which is wrong, social democrats, which is welfare capitalism, or seek to separate themselves from existing socialism by implying it isn't democratic. None of the above are based on allyship with Marxists. At best, demsocs can be recruited from for better orgs, or aligned on specific movements like Palestinian liberation.
