Oh good, I see we've moved into red scare stuff, see if that will stick to the DSA. 🙄

I guess such a wide remit might be questionable constitutionally as well.

Don’t like that one bit. Not sure how much it matters as a prudential defense against foreign actors given Hungary paid for CPAC (I actually think US politics is basically a proxy fight on the world stage) but this is a wild level of self sabotage via nincompoopery.

Nothing burger.

The article says "no indication of wrongdoing" is the article wrong or your post?

"Please defeat my preconceived notions by doing literally anything else" type beat

🎶clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right🎵

Have you read any of their platforms? They’re the epitome of Trump.Chaos agents never really believe in anything.They prey on politically ignorant & anyone associated w/DSA are not who they pretend to be.It’s also why voters figure them out quickly & their numbers haven’t grown post squad

That requires critical thinking skills, an examination of history, an interest in effective problem-solving, risk assessment, etc.

I mean sure, if one thinks about it rationally. But you are also talking about an org where half the membership pines for the Soviet Union, soo

FARA violations require the individual to be working at the order, request, or under the direction of a foreign principal. If the DSA members instigate this stuff their alignment isn't inherently relevant is it? Nothing in the article suggests the CCP is orchestrating what they do?

Not really but looking forward to the new red scare anyway

I mean even with the people who literally were agents of a foreign govt they got off on the fara violation charge. www.fox13news.com/news/uhuru-g...

Yeah, but only if you're MAGA. Trump's DoJ could still use actual laws on the books to go after lefty dipshits.

No American medium has ever used "your team is allied with evil demons" to discredit movements opposed to increasing returns to capital.

because sky is a mccarthyist who would have taken paul robeson's passport and exiled emma goldman

Did the DSA dispute it?

Oh so this is just a fed account.

I’m pretty sure that- one way or another- the UFWD are funnelling cash to the DSA.

Man, carrying water for the Chinese government. These DSA IC idiots are such capitalist running dogs.

From the article: "no indication of wrongdoing"

Posting an article and blatantly lying about what's in it, very cool

FARA only applies to lobbying.

I've only ever been DSA adjacent, but it always seemed to me that the folks who had foreign policy opinions beyond "hey Israel is doing bad shit" were the most likely to be campist weirdos

I can't decide if they are the latest iteration of useful idiots, or the next step up, assets. In any case, they are children playing with fire. Will they burn down just their own house, or the entire neighborhood?

my distrust of the org vindicated yet again would not be surprised if they're in with those codepink weirdos

Most ironic outcome would be DSA sending reps over to Beijing for a few months, one of them comes back as American Chiang.

They are talking like they can’t even see it.

Mainstream elected Dems are just as bad about this stuff on Israel so I just see it as a pick your poison kind of situation. Peaceful coexistence with them as long as it doesn’t get to campist is fine.

There's a joke about their fixation on AIPAC somewhere in here.

The PSL is extremely controlled by PRC interests in a way I had generally figured the DSA is not, even though the DSA has some campist weirdos, but I wonder if efforts by PSL people to influence the DSA (there’s a lot of overlap where I live) are affecting this.

Whats wrong with violating FARA?

They once platformed views like "dismantling of USAID" Who are corporate Dems? Define them Has any of their supposed positions 'unalived' hundred of thousands children across the Global South? I know DSA's have Why would you even contest elections if you believe your nation deserves suffering?

Are we sure these aren't fakes? Considering the source and all, seems a little too clever on timing, and sticking Mamdani in it like HE'S the Manchurian Candidate....

(I'm trying to find more resources for folks who want insight into how it works--but several of the site were convoluted legalese regarding FARA policy development...sooo if you find some stuff, feel free to share! )

It literally isnt though. I do agree that the IC are stupid

Politically active Americans talk with politically active foreigners all the time, that’s not a FARA violation. Obama’s campaign team worked for the Tories, half the GOP went to Hungarian CPAC…

Are you seriously posting an article from the zombie of a serious periodical that pictures the mayor of New York as a in cahoots with the CCP?

Even without this crayon scribbled note from a sham of an AG, FARA doesn't apply.

Not a FARA violation since the DSA IC is not engaged in lobbying the US government. Aparently it's too big a lift to ask people to check their claims before the hit post.

Yea National DSA is largely bullshit nathannewman.substack.com/p/the-sane-n...

I hope you'll be smart enough not to fall for a right-wing ratfucking campaign

We need to shut them down. The tankie idiots are a liability, we can't continue to tolerate them.

Big tent

don’t strain too hard getting up form the couch if that happens

No, but this is not how i interpretted the post.

Then change the rules and kick them out for being shit-stains that collaborate with a dictatorship.

Forgot this, too. You are a genocide supporting fuck

This is your camp, moron.

Do Palestinians simply matter more than Uyghurs?

Funds from China funneled through Pro-Palestine PAC to finance DSA-backed candidates?

I'm asking questions, not making accusations. That's why there is a question mark at the end. You do understand what a question mark denotes, correct?

what’s a tankie

so easy to not do this

looks like a great way to get a 50-year sentence, OR a ham-fisted way to infiltrate, and dis-credit the opposition. feds love to do that shit. spray-paint 'commies rule' on the sidewalk...

Is this really any worse than the Democratic party’s foreign policy ties?

Lol - change the names to Trumpy's administration and it'll be equally relevant 😆
