When astro-turf ideas take hold among the working-class, and large numbers of people are held back from effective revolutionary organizing because of it, or actively aid and abet State and Capital because of it, then sure. We gotta address it. But until then, just shut it down.

It is *actively harmful* to give attention, platform, time, energy, space, audience, etc to astro-turf ideas. It directly harms our capacity to work through contradictions that the working class actually cares about, ideas that are actually worth challenging.

The good thing about astroturf ideas with no working class base is that you don't have to listen to them, debate them, anything like that. You can just shut them down and no working class people will be harmed in the process. It saves a lot of time and energy!!

why do y*mbys always make up cheesy redemption stories? it's always "i used to be concerned that y*mby was an overtly right-wing movement that lies about everything. but then XYZ happened and i saw the light." they're just all so incredibly dishonest and disingenuous all the time

Apparently it bears repeating that socialists shouldn’t be rubbing elbows w YIMBY orgs like Open NY, nor should they be speaking to media about it! In my capacity as a leader in DSA's housing work, I condemn such collaboration in the strongest terms as unprincipled & unacceptable

Gonna go ahead & say that people paid to staff this organization should not be openly or otherwise advocating pro-development capital politics and should seriously consider whether or not they are actually socialist or someone whose political ascension better befits the Dem Party

The roots of the construction craze that paved the way for the intensity of this disaster are in the governing party’s first two terms, which were so widely celebrated in the West. This didn’t start with the government’s apparently anti-Western turn. 2/

...and furthermore, why do we drive on a parkway but park on a driveway?

Oakland - why do we still have an eviction moratoriums after THREE years? I spoke to elders today who are at risk of losing generational wealth due to young tenants who refuse to pay. There’s more than one side to this quagmire. It’s irresponsible at this point to continue.
