    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.

          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.
