Out of site behind closed door. Is most definitely now what any supporters or now members wanted.
Again look at the facts. 800k people supported the idea of a membership run party that dose not do that shit behind closed doors. Where leadership lack the authority to make policy choices without membership approval.
members and actual party supporters may question some of ZS actions. But their editing of the founding documents since her actions. Make it very clear behind closed door is not acceptable at all.
Most support her ideals of a truly open party. They just think she herself allowed it to go on behind closed doors to long and should have told supporters before asking them to join.
Behind closed doors is the very opposite of what 800k supporters were offered when the party set up.
And yet much of the organising has been done in private by the Sultana and Feinstein factions who have held secretive competing rallies and meetings up and down the country which have definitely been done behind closed doors. But that’s not what I’m talking about. The fundamentals of what the party stands for (is it socialist? left-of-centre? federalist? whatever) and how it’s run must be sorted out before supporters get to participate. These sorts of lessons - as well as going too far in the centralist way - were learned the hard way with Occupy. The passion and energy of a movement is easily dissipated by politicking. Which, I fear, is what has happened. Plus my usual belief that the state is usually involved in dismantling left groups from within.
