Too often, DSA is dismissed as a purely social democratic organization, and outsiders discount the communist organizing within it. As a Marxist-Leninist DSA caucus, we reject this narrative. DSA is our political home! We in Red Star are communists who believe that DSA is the most effective place to serve
TBF folks are out here being Calvinists in this thread to individual succdems.
But yeah, I agree, don’t join social democratic orgs. But DSA isn’t a social democrat org, it sure is contested by them, but the majority of the NPC is a mixture of communists of varying levels of good.
It absolutely is. A few individual self-identified communists in leadership positions of an org founded on social democracy with explicitly anticommunist bylaws that historically and currently pursues an exclusively social democratic strategy don’t change the character of the organization. The character of the organization is determined by the actions it takes.

Then it’s a good thing I would never equate Stalin, for whatever faults he might have had, with a bunch of memelords on a shitposting website.
