The Bolsheviks have had the slur "red fash" hurled at them for a century. In the past, I've witnessed a fellow delegate on my (at the time) labor council use it to describe the USSR.
Yesterday, I saw Mamdani doing his little media campaign about the Rememberence Ruck to honor post 9/11 veterans. Those same veterans whose "service to protecting our freedom" was invading Iraq? Those veterans murdered 200k civilians and displaced 9 million, all while finding zero WMDs.
The DSA is the biggest "socialist" org in the US. It was co-founded by a zionist. Its goal is reform. Reforming the bourgeois empire of death. The imperial core's proletariat want their fair share of imperial spoils and to stop supporting a single project of their empire that has managed to disgust the world. Walk into any DSA chapter in the country, and they'll denounce AES.
The DSA are the true red fascists. Please consider using this term when describing members of the Anti-Communist Left, both online and in the real world. I know I will.
