I've heard of him taking the Russian view of reality at least a few times, so I think the centrists might have a point. What's his view on if and how we should support Ukraine?

    Hasan's views on the Russo-Ukrainian war largely align with the DSA's views, essentially condemning Russia but agreeing with the Marxists that NATO expansionism caused and provoked the conflict in the first place.

    Honest question: are you suggesting the DSA is in Putin's pocket as well?

    There are definitely significant elements in it that are falling for Russian propaganda. There are probably some individuals in it who are working for him too, but I couldn't tell you how many.

    Keep in mind that the MAGA people thought they were going to fix this country too.

    Socialist opposition to NATO predates Putin's presidency. How do you square socialist opposition to NATO historically with the idea that this is a new phenomenon from Putin?

    The DSA is in Putin's pocket too? Since when did disagreeing with NATO mean you had to be paid by Russia? Opposition to NATO has been a core part of the anti-imperialist left since NATO's inception.

    You're gonna need to work on your English and be a little more coherent in general before I take your thoughts on American politics seriously.

    I am not friends with the centrists. I just know that if the progressive movement buys too much pro-Russia propaganda, we're just going to end up in the same place Trump is taking us by a different road. Half the party is already taking money from Israel and that's already bad. If the other half starts following Russia's influence, it will end up the same as the Republicans.

    You are literally participating in republicans smearing campaign against people wanting a better democratic party. You will help Trump and republicans than shifting blame to others like the dsa when your party fail
