The Pledge

Please feel free to custom edit to fit your personal voting demands on The Big Three

To whom it may concern at the Big Three;

 Socialist Party of the United States of America; Democratic Socialist of America; and Social Democrats USA,

I am a "Socialist" or Center-left voter and I am disappointed in that there isn't a viable third party option for "Socialists" of all sorts. It seems every group out there is full of long time factions of hate and mistrust, geared towards some perversion of ideological purity, bigotry in some cases, oppression by 'limited' democracy, and in some cases cult like brain washing.

I pledge not to vote for, campaign for, or fund any "Socialist" candidate unless it is from a reunited Socialist Party of America once more with all three factions of 1972 as one banner.

What I am looking for is a long time supportive political party named for and just as successful as the Socialist Party of America once was. A focus on constructive unity with more democracy, - not oppressive democracy of 50% plus one vote or even worse, a limited representative democratic centralist elite - one united party that is populist, labor friendly, progressive, and has a solid plan, not just a wishful planks or unpublished mythical bylaws while always asking for money.

I pledge never to join a "Socialist" organization that has limited democracy, elitist democracy, democratic centralism, and restricts membership's views by any means. I demand real workable plans to inform and educate the American Socialist Voter to reachable and realistic goals.

 I am looking for a "Socialist" party that has it feet firmly on the ground without 'pie in the sky' Utopian dreams that are beyond realistic planning. A Socialist Party of America with a united banner of candidates across the USA with complete staffing and funding.

I pledge in the future to withhold support for and/or funding for any divided faction of "Socialists" until a reunited Socialist Party of America is created as a viable third party option and all the communistic elements - ideology, symbolism, and foreign influences  - have been removed.

I am not an unprincipled person and find that having a statement of principles forced on my person an insult to my intelligent mindset by all three 'so called' heirs to the Socialist Party of America. As a "Socialist" I do not force my comrades into an ideological hole as I respect their freedoms of speech and thought which is both very American and Socialist like in the anti-totalitarian sense. Socialism is about real freedoms that we release ourselves from the chains that bind us. I will not revoke my freewill to place a yoke of Communism that leads to dictatorships of indentured servitude.

I pledge therefore to not join or belong to any Center-left organizations that have exclusionary clauses or policies on freedom of association that keeps an American Socialist Voter isolated from other unity groups - from the local level to the national level - out of purity for limited and close mindedness of 'anti-socialist socialism' type ideologies.  

Sincerely,

Your name here

Notes

Anti-socialist socialism: First used in 1882 by Bismarck to outlaw any and all organizations advocating socialism. Due to populist favor with socialism a person would use or co-opt socialistic slogans to use against socialism. Karl Marx in the 1850's analyzed this tactic, Crédit Mobilier of Napoleon III and even used this it in a more personal attack on Proudhon, "Communism," Marx wrote, "must free itself from all the "false brothers." Jean Jaur ès replied to Marx in the form of a criticism about his Communist Manifesto, "what the Manifesto proposes is not the revolutionary method of a class sure of itself; it is the expedient revolution of a weak, impatient class that seeks to speed up events by trickery." And was backed up by a comment from G.D.H. Cole when talking/writing about revolutionaries of the time, "found it difficult to reconcile Marx's ferocious denunciations of the bourgeoisie with his insistence upon helping them to power."
