Today is the centenary of Fidel Castro, and the Democratic Socialists of America recognize the historic significance of both this day and the man. Fidel was an organizer, a fighter, and endures as a stalwart symbol of anti-imperialist struggle and self-determination for the Global South. DSA has a long history of solidarity with the Cuban…
How America treated Cuba since Castro’s revolution is embarrassing and almost indefensible. But that revolution happened in 1953, not 1926.
Hero-worshipping an anti-democratic foreign adversary is not what an actual political party does. It’d be shady if it was the DNC celebrating Ghandi’s birth, the SCA celebrating Charles Wndsor’s, or the RNC celebrating Hitler’s.
I don’t know if these “wow, the DSA are fringe morons” stories are right-wing lies or left-wing idiocy, and I don’t really care to spend the time to find out. Because they’re a distraction either way, since every democratic socialist who might actually get elected is running as either “democrat” or “independent”
Agreed, I’ll vote for whoever best removes the GOP in every election, but I certainly won’t donate or support primaries for the DSA.
