And is it the 1930s? With a mostly prostrate labor movement—teachers strikes are great, but that’s not massive numbers in the commanding heights. And per capita, chsngingveras, DSA would need 500k members to = SP circa 1912.

More like 300k members But the SP was a party

Well, you may be a great historian, but I’m a better mathematician than you are. 92 million pop then, 327 million today. ~ 125,000 SP members then; ~ 50k DSA members now. Put it together and per capita that’s about 3.55/ and = 435k DSA member’s now would be equivalent.

we're using diff figures comrade. Pop in 1912 was 95 million, 325 M now. SP membership- 118k, DSA now 60K. So DSA would need roughly 360K members to equal that.

Well, c”mon, slightly different! I didn’t realize DSA had risen to 60k, and you’re claiming 118, rather 125, and 325, total pop today, rather census 327, as of 2018, and 95 in 1912, rather than 92, census 1910. Big deal!

Genuine question: wasn't actual membership of political parties much more common back then than it is now? I mean, wasn't a greater percentage of the electorate actual members of GOP & Dems?

Arguably the black cat that Wobblies used as graffiti was an early emoji.
