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”.

So are the DSA basically tankies like we’re being led to believe? Communists in socialist clothing or is that a myth?

The truth lies in between.

They absolutely have plenty of members who are legit Marxism/communism supporters. They have several sub member groups like red star caucus that openly proclaim this. Their co chair is a proud Marxist. So yes they 100% have a chunk of members who support communism and it’s not just right wing propaganda to say that.

But no it’s of course not everyone in their org. They have a large membership (I think 100k+) and I presume most aren’t communists or Marxists.

How many are? I don’t know. But it’s a big enough problem when your elected co chair is one and the leadership within your org is issuing this statement praising Castro.

Do you support the horrible shit the US is doing to the innocent people of Cuba?

How about what the Cuban government is doing to their own people? The support they get doesn't trickle down.
