    1. Not surprised that the DSA Redditor caucus would post things like this

    2. How can someone correctly identify the problems with capitalism, see through that propaganda, but when it comes to imperialism they just completely accept what they’ve been told? Like they presumably know they were lied to about Iraq, and Palestine, but I guess they think they were told the truth about DPRK and Cuba and Venezuela and probably China as well?

      The unspoken truth is this; they realize, to some degree, that they are the beneficiaries of imperialism, and so their ideology reflects this willful ignorance to the nature of the current world order and socialism’s place in it. They only support socialism domestically (nominally) in the first place because they perceive some personal benefit.

      tbh i don’t think they correctly identify the problems with capitalism. at least not in their entirety. they might have resolved to maybe-possibly consider a resolution to censure aoc (at least that’s where they were last time i checked up on them), but they’re still the party of bernie sanders “socialism”. i respect certain caucuses within the dsa but their overall party line is still very much “equitable imperialism”. here’s hoping they can become not like that

      It’s hard to let go, you don’t want to be known as the person defending DPRK when DPRK is known as the worst thing possibly ever; though NOT defending cuba, but even attacking them, is baffling
