That is the only interpretation of the most recent statement from the Democratic Socialists of America/International Committee (IC) that makes any sense. Here are three links to the campaign on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. This all comes from the IC steering committee. IC members were not consulted. I know because I’m one of them. Steering committee members are appointed by the DSA National Political Committee (NPC), so at the very least they are responsible for the treacle that comes out under the auspices of the IC.
As a former member of the old DSA who considered myself a bit to the left of its center, this kind of stuff is exactly why I decided not to join the new DSA, although I’m sure I would have been allied with you if I had. Good luck, Max!
Lenin was reputed to have said: "Don't trust anybody under 30." (Or was it 35?) The DSA has become a children's crusade: no adult supervision, rife with intellectual acne. The "Democratic Socialist" brand indeed has real value, but the "DSA" brand is worth about as much as the "SDS" brand, for about the same reasons.
