Is there any veracity to the claim that “the PSL covered up SA allegations”? I hear it from people a lot. I wanna know if this is a valid concern.

Thanks for that. I heard similar complaints but coming from DSA, where we had sooo much bureaucracy, I couldn't see the issue. Well I feel less bad about not following up more frequently and only going to their talk events/protest. If that's all there is then I'll keep it up.

Yeah DSA is the left wing of fascism imo, been in spaces with them for years and it is very disturbing. I do believe a lot of good people get wrapped up in there thinking they can make it better but god is that an awful org to be a part of. I think PSL isn't beyond changing it just needs really dedicated and principled comrades. I guess what you'll be missing from joining PSL would be like, a more intentional education track but if you are good with studying already, an organization doing actual work with colonized groups and marginalized people in general would be a much better learning experience.
