The DSA has a better statement on Israel and Palestine compared to the policy of the United States, but when you combine this with their policy on Ukraine, it becomes clear they do not care about civil rights.
DSA also opposes open borders.
So you here have an organization which simply opposes all American foreign policy, even the good parts.
What explains this? The answer is simple. They are a right-wing Russian psyop. While some good people get endorsed by them, they unendorsed AOC, the most successful politician who started as a member of their camp. She agrees with their domestic issues, but as she has been in government she has diverged from their foreign policy. I think it is clear why. As AOC has gained experience in congress she has learned that the role of the United States in foreign affairs is not as simple as always good or always bad. There are some policies we have done which have been complete successes, like NATO, the Berlin Airlift, and the immense amount of foreign aid we donate to the rest of the world. Foreign aid is incredibly important for America’s image, counter terrorism, and economic justice. There are some policies which are a mixed bag, our withholding of aid to Ukraine, and our decision to abandon Afghanistan. There are also some policies which are clearly total failures and put Americans in danger, such as our entire policy in the Middle East.
The foreign policy of the DSA is not meaningfully better or worse than the foreign policy of Biden or other moderate democrats, they just have failures in other areas. Neither is good overall.
As AOC becomes more knowledgeable I think she will eventually make the argument for why the United States should work towards loosening immigration laws with other democracies. She will start here, and then make a clear and coherent argument for why the United States and Canada should have an open border, followed up by the expansion of Schengen to the United States and Canada. This is far more left wing than the DSA, which is a Russian psyop.
That’s the obvious explanation of who they are as an organization. America needs a real left-wing movement.
