If you want Democratic socialism to be accepted, drop the "comrade."
Very proud to announce we surpassed 20,000 comrades today. Keep building, keep organizing, keep fighting. Our socialism is irrevocable.pic.twitter.com/0bFCxyewf3

Why would you think it helpful to be identified with Russia and communism?
-
Comrade is a non-gendered term of endearment used the world over by left wingers. Should we stop calling ourselves Socialists too?
-
No, but "comrade" doesn't define you, and it has negative connotations in the West. Depends on your audience. Writing101.
-
It's been used by left wing parties across Europe for decades.
-
"Depends on your audience" - "Well Europeans have used it for decades" - so Europeans are your audience? That's preaching to the choir then.
-
Wait you just suggested "mates" as an alternative and you're saying comrade is too European.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm not sure that calling us 'comrades' is helpful to the cause...
-
"comrade" is a wonderful non-gendered way to refer to our siblings in the fight for liberation
-
Sounds good. May peace be with you comrade...

Might want to be careful with 'comrades' for marketing purposes.
-
No. Fuck the red baiting. Comrade is no longer a "scary" word. It is a proud part of the left.
-
Why? Denmark etc. achieved socialist goals through democratic means; they didn't need to pay homage to Marxist baggage to do it.
-
Marxism isn't baggage& Denmark's "socialism" isn't enough to destroy the imperialist structure of the US
-
In that case, please politely count me out of your movement.

@jkobos@DemSocialists@robdelaney If you are ok with US imperialism destroying millions of lives for profit all over the world then sure. -

@jkobos@DemSocialists@robdelaney Just know that most of what you believe to be true about Communism is blatant US propaganda.pic.twitter.com/uBXkXAqq8A
