Red Star condemns the votes by DSA's endorsed Congressional electeds against the demands of the rail unions. We are, again, seeing a failure of our electoral work to foster class struggle and a mass movement that would advance that struggle.

Here, we examine the relationship between DSA and AOC, AOC's impact on DSA, AOC's general political alignment, and AOC's relationship with DSA over Palestine. This analysis provides a clear and unmistakable answer: the NPC should not re-endorse AOC.

Yesterday, we voted “No” on the "Towards an Anti-Zionist DSA" resolution which was amended by the NPC to the point where it became ineffective. We do not believe we have moved closer towards the goal of becoming truly anti-Zionist in principle and praxis.

We still believe that DSA, as the center of the socialist movement within the US, is an organization worth fighting for and that the struggle for its soul is not yet over. This is shown by the many chapters that have passed much stronger resolutions than the NPC did today.
