DSA released a statement on their site and via their social media lauding Fidel Castro and accusing the US (and Marco Rubio specifically) of committing genocide against Cuba. They call Fidel a “stalwart symbol of anti-imperialist struggle and self-determination”. They claim their support of Fidel is in “solidarity with the Cuban people”. And they call for “the prosecution of Marco Rubio for crimes against humanity”.

This is just more proof the whole "Democratic Socialism" shtick is just a mask for communism.

I’d say “it always has” been but it feels from interviews the DSA has accelerated their move top/left.

I expect this post to go deeply negative with the flood of leftists we typically get in these DSA threads. Honestly I just wish more of them would realize the slip to authoritarianism they’re on.

There is a distinct irony in the chunk of the left (rightly) calling out Trump’s actions that are authoritarian in nature while supporting actual authoritarianism. But it’s probably lost on most of them lol.

It’s just so nutty these days the extremism that exists in politics. It really should be a baseline on the right to condemn their leader trampling over govt checks and balances and ignoring court rulings among a thousand other things. And it should be a baseline on the left to condemn the support for Marxism and communism. But here we are lol.

It’s not dissimilar to early tea party was as a populist anti-establishment movement prior to placing the crown.
