not sure what DSA should do about this, I don't follow national drama that closely, but for the record "Marxism-Leninism" is a bunch of horseshit reverse-engineered by Stalin to justify his reskinned Russian Empire. about as relevant to the modern US as the Council of Nicaea

imagine saying this about Israel lol. “just send more diplomats to talk Netanyahu around” bsky.app/profile/rpsa...

Remnick: So we shouldn't send weapons to Ukraine? DSA co-chair Megan Romer: No! Remnick: So, just allow Russia to overrun Ukraine entirely? Romer: We should be sending huge teams of diplomats. We should figure out how to negotiate.w

though I will say Romer is very isolated on Ukraine among US socialists by this point (Hasan has come around eg) while that is not AT ALL true of mainstream liberals and Israel

The pro-Israel project was always more geared towards elite persuasion than mass politics, especially outside of NYC and DC; they relied on flying under the radar for normies while appealing to the "serious foreign policy thinkers".

I think it's also very important to remember how small a percentage of left of center voters believe some of the crazier things like "Ukraine needs more diplomats" or "abolish the police". In comparison to a majority on the right believing completely ridiculous things like "global warming is fake".

Has Hasan? He's dialed it back since first dismissing the imminent Russian aggression as bloodthirsty Western propaganda, but he's still among those arguing Ukraine must "give peace a try" (cede territory and sovereignty to the invader) www.reddit.com/r/Destiny/s/...

reddit.comA pro-russian useful idiot offers Ukraine his precious advice on what to do about russia. He wants Ukraine to "give peace a try" and dismisses the idea that it's a capitulation to russian imperialism.Explore this post and more from the Destiny community

I don’t think she is tbh. Like the DSA IC is still comprised of utter loons, and I have a strong suspicion she gave this terrible take not because she actually believes it, but to avoid alienating the “Putin’s Russia is anti-imperialist in effect” loons

That's what I'm saying! You literally cannot achieve anything internationally with hostile actors if this is the position you adopt! It's childlike! "Oh, they'll just see why we're right and stop using violence!" You are a toddler. You have the mind of a toddler.
