The US left is at a critical juncture where the structure and focus of
our organizations will soon be decided. On the one hand, we positively
have ongoing processes of cohesion in play with DSA chapters
collaborating on writing a national platform and far-flung sects coming
together under the banner of Marxist Center. On the other hand, we have
many comrades across ideological lines who still echo opposition to the
idea of a tightly structured national organization. Central to this
contradiction is the question of the party:should socialists strive to
build an independent political party, and if so, what should that look
like? CounterPower has put forth one possible answer in their
article/Create Two, Three, Many Parties of Autonomy!/
<https://regenerationmag.org/create-two-three-many-parties-of-autonomy/>They
are dedicated organizers and we should all be glad to have them in our
midst. However, their strategy of eschewing the mass party model and
encouraging the spontaneous formation of multiple “parties of autonomy”,
and counting on these disparate groups to unite into an “area of the
party”, is unworkable in the long term.
