NO

Currently the Philly Socialists are at a crossroads and considering the organization's future. One proposal, from a founder of the organization, is that the organization should fold and join the US Communist Party.

For this to resolve "Yes", there would have to be one or more official proposals that passes by Dec 31, 2023 (probably at a General Assembly or Constitutional Convention) that 1) disband the organization and 2) explicitly recommend that the members join the Communist Party (and do so in preference to any other organization).

Very curious as to who Na Pewno and Brendan Finan are and how they know about this market? (I'm a PS member and was active in 2013-2015)

predictedNO

@AaronKreider I just found it on the homepage and was trading based on JL's trades

predictedNO

@AaronKreider I know nothing except a bit of general info from bing chat lol. It sems like a very unusual thing to happen and I think it's a good heuristic to bet against JL - marxist profile picture, putting almost all of his mana on 2 markets and the trades on the other market about GDP growth are clearly bad in my opinion. Also, if it were so clear, then why the delay to "by Q3 at the latest"? Btw, I only noticed your previous comment just now.

predictedNO

The PS voted 20 to 6 not to disband. So the probability of voting to join the Communists is now extremely low. But the market will remain open until the end of the year (as per the rules).

Here's the latest: the West Philly urchins climbing on the Dickens statue in Clark Park were abuzz with talk of PS joining the CP.

@PhillyBol Everyone knows that the West Philly votes don't matter. The real decisions are made in Kensington.

@AaronKreider Funny you should mention that… I happened to be talking with a Kensington dope fiend on Thursday afternoon. He told me everyone in Kensington knows PS will join the CP.

predictedYES

The driver on the 34 trolley told me to buy more YES.

predictedYES

This morning, the clerk at the Baltimore Pet Shoppe assured me that this will happen by Q3 2023 at the latest.

predictedNO

I've heard that the Philly Socialists have sold out and are planning on joining ACORN or DSA instead.

predictedYES

@AaronKreider Sounds like fake news to me! We are taking YES to the moon 🚀 based on genuine info, not idle rumors.

predictedYES

I was standing in line at Alif Brew in West Philly today, and I overheard a couple of people saying that this would definitely happen!
