Leaving DSA,A former supporter reveals why!

DSA commies aim to take over the Democratic Party — just as they captured . . . the DSA itself

After reading Jake Altman’s recent NYP article, I understand why so many people are leaving the DSA. Altman, a former member and local leader, explains how the organization was captured by radical communist factions through entryism(capturing a organization) and authoritarian style tactics.

What stands out most is how the new DSA promotes vicious antisemitism under the guise of "anti Zionism", using Nazi style methods such as scapegoating Jews as collective oppressors, enforcing BDS loyalty oaths that target Jewish institutions, spreading hate against Israel, and openly excusing Hamas atrocities.

"New, younger members began to enter the organization as Sen. Bernie Sanders and the socialist magazine Jacobin grew their followings.

As the DSA’s cultural power expanded and it began to amass electoral victories, more leftists of varying extremist commitments were drawn in.

This was an explicit strategy called “the big tent,” advanced by the then-DSA Jacobin left".

The story is based on a opinion article of a former member of the DSA in a NYP report.

Oh dear ,this explains why Marxist/ Socialist /Progressive's supporters call's of anybody in opposition to their cause are "Fascist"/ "Nazi's" .

"First came the purity tests of Black Lives Matter and the anti-Israel boycott, divestment, sanctions movement.

Apologia for Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine and support for Hamas and its  atrocities followed.

The new DSA — with the help of hype-man Hasan Piker — advanced these agendas with what American labor leader Walter Reuther called “the communists’ highly developed technique of name-calling and character assassination".

A finger on the pulse and there's nobody better at explaining it to the American people better...

Fox News segment exposing DSA's internal Marxist caucuses, communist unity statements, and calls to dismantle capitalism and the Constitution aligns closely with former DSA leader Jake Altman's revelations in the NYP.

Both highlight how radical factions used entryism and authoritarian tactics to capture the organization, shifting it from democratic socialism toward extremism, including antisemitism disguised as anti Zionism, BDS loyalty tests, and apologetics for groups like Hamas.

This pattern of ideological takeover explains the reluctance of mainstream outlets to label these influences as communist rather than merely socialist.

Thank you comrades !

Capitalist and Communist in the Big Tent of the new Dem Party ,there's only room for one! The political landscape in the West, particularly within theDem Party, is often defended as a big tent capable of holding a wide range of views. But can a tent genuinely hold two groups whose ultimate goals are completely incompatible?

"We in Red Star are communists who believe that DSA is the most effective place to serve the socialist movement; only through our active participation in DSA can the party we need take shape. We call on all communists in the United States to join us in the democratic struggle within DSA".
