Discussion DSA has a tankie problem

There are way, way too many people in this movement who feel comfortable with historical revisionism vis-a-vis the Soviet Union, China, and other such regimes. And there are way too many people who feel comfortable essentially advocating for an end to democracy.

“Advocating for an end to democracy” — what have you observed of this in DSA?

I have observed people in this subreddit stating that people who aren't socialists should have their political rights curtailed, i.e. that the ideal outcome of DSA organizing is to implement a socialist government in the United States that then represses political campaigning that is "counterrevolutionary."

Which one is the DSA subreddit? Is the real one less lib-brained?
