The tendency in DSA is uncritical support of anti-imperialist state or militant action, especially within the international committee which puts out the vast majority of comms on these topics. The "Robin" in this meme, putting forward any formal critique (a fundamental and essential component of practicing Marxism) is very much the minority position.

I'll believe it when I see it

Here’s a link, take a look. https://international.dsausa.org/statements/

They pretty much tell on themselves here: https://international.dsausa.org/statements/on-russias-invasion-of-ukraine/

They "condemn" Russia. What a joke... No wonder the Global South doesn't give a shit about the Democratic Sheepherders of America. I didn't see anything on their site supporting Venezuela, China, DPRK, etc. I only see milquetoast "we stand with the 'people' of Venezuela, Cuba, etc." They're too chicken to actually support any of the governments in AES countries. They only support "the people" of those countries. What a fucking cop-out scaredy-cat fucking response. That's like when libs/chuds say "I hate the goverment but support the people!" fucking bullshit. Fuck the DSA. Actually, after seeing those "statements" I'm going to actively tell people I know to stay the fuck away from DSA. They're waaay worse than I thought.

Honestly I think you’re writing off DSA because you don’t fully understand how it works. It a big tent with plenty of trots and libs in the org. However there are also a lot of MLs who radicalized within DSA who are hoping to turn it towards genuine anti imperialist. If those statements are too bland for you check out the international committees youtube channel.

The second video is literally called “Yemen Rises: Counter Hegemony and Solidarity”. Idk what more you could want! They even brought Luna Oi who isn’t shy about being an ML to talk about how American imperialism affected her country. There is also a video on the democratic process that Cuba went through to develop their family code. Also a whole discussion on how the US has and continues to push their imperial agenda on the Korean Peninsula. Vijay Prashad is in there as well discussing the US’s aggression towards China.

If that doesn’t make it clear that DSA at the very least is not a monolith and indeed has people in it that defend AES states then idk what to tell you.
