>Self-avowed Communists were not always so well represented in DSA’s leadership, but the DSA’s leftward shift has helped turn it into a vehicle for a wide range of organizing beyond electoral politics, attracting Marxist-Leninist tendencies in particular. To dismiss the DSA as simply “not communism,” as Collins does, is wrong. Members with Communist political tendencies now significantly shape the DSA’s leadership, and the organization is an increasingly attractive vehicle for bringing together a wide range of left-wing movements, many of which profess to be Communist.

The DSA’s Communist Turn

>As detailed in NCRI’s prior reporting, DSA has conducted repeated, organized delegations to Venezuela, Cuba, and the People’s Republic of China since 2021, often with facilitation or authorization by foreign governments.

>13 These delegations involved credentialed election observation, high-level access to regime officials, and apparent in-kind benefits such as lodging, transportation, and logistical support—benefits that constitute things of value under federal disclosure law. Despite these activities and the subsequent political advocacy they produced, DSA has not registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act.

>BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front):

>● Pro-DPRK Stance: The People’s Summit promoted revolutionary rhetoric and narratives closely aligned with North Korean state propaganda, including calls for Korean reunification under a communist regime. These messages revise or ignore the DPRK’s extensive human rights abuses and denounce South Korea, a free, democratic, and economically thriving nation as illegitimate.

>● DSA Endorsement: Publicly backed by the same radical political organization to which NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has been deeply involved in for years

>● Authoritarian Sympathy: Featured speakers and groups with a documented history of defending authoritarian regimes and demonizing Western democracies, often at the forefront of far-left mass demonstrations and protests throughout the U.S.

>● Networked Sponsorship: Despite the summit’s seemingly diverse array of sponsors, they reveal extensive organizational and financial overlap, primarily linked to CCP-affiliated donor Neville Roy Singham

>● Strategic Influence: Well-coordinated effort to advance foreign ideological agendas within U.S. activist spaces, raising concerns as a potential radicalization vector and warranting scrutiny under FARA

INTEL BRIEF: Democratic Socialists of America Endorse Summit Promoting DPRK-Aligned Revolutionary Rhetoric

>The dozens of internal documents go back to 2021. They include a detailed slideshow of an August 2025 visit to Guizhou and a trip by members to the Xinjiang region, apparently in 2023. The minutes show members of the China Working Group, led by Anlin Wang, discussing strategy and debating with members of like-minded groups such as Code Pink and the Britain-based Friends of Socialist China. Wang did not respond to a request for comment via the International Committee.

>"It's just f–ing rich liberals who just want homo-fascism in the country, that's it. They want gay fascism. They want gay techno-fascism," he insisted, without explaining what those terms meant.

>Despite facing scrutiny over comments including justifying Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attacks, calling Orthodox Jews “inbred” and asserting that America deserved 9/11, Piker has recently been invited to speak at several high-profile events, including at The New Yorker‘s annual festival and at the Yale Political Union.

>During his speech Saturday evening at the conference, Piker distanced himself from the mainstream Democratic Party, condemning “Democrats who compromise, who conciliate and who betray us,” to loud applause. “No more to the Democrats who collaborate and cooperate with the fascists, who will fund ICE, who will fund Israel … we don’t need those Democrats anymore,” Piker said.

>The College Democrats’ convention is hosting several speakers who hold extreme anti-Israel views, including Democratic Socialists of America activist and Arizona congressional candidate Deja Foxx, commentator Kat Abughazaleh, gun-control activist and former DNC vice chair David Hogg and Democratic Socialists of America-endorsed congressional nominee Melat Kiros.

College Democrats’ conference, co-sponsored by J Street U, features Hasan Piker

I just got home from the hospital. Before I went, my Omron series 10 gave me the Afib warning. I rechecked multiple times over 90 minutes, rotating between two cuffs and between my upper arm and forearm. Average BP of 150/100 with my heart rate below 60 bpm. Because of the heart rate. I was afraid to take clonidine for the blood pressure. Medline wrist cuff also showed irregular heart beat with similar vitals.

I had spent 4 days in the hospital 3 weeks ago for bradycardia. They also thought I had afib, but ruled against it because they couldn't get steady readings with that result. They advised me that I may need an emergency pacemaker while I was admitted, but ruled against it.

So I went to a different hospital tonight. Triage hooked me up to an EKG, which is attached. They also ran some labs, which came back mostly normal. I get taken to the ED and they attached an IV.

Everything smooth so far.

After about 3 hours of nothing, except the intellivue monitor showing SV rhythm, irregular rhythm, and brady along with BP readings of ~145/100, the doc comes in and discharges me. Saying that both the home blood pressure monitor and the triage EKG were just "artifacts" and told me NOT to take my blood pressure medication until the next day.

So.. I'm a little worried about my heart and wondering if I should go back to the original ED that had admitted me, or if I should just go to bed.

Thoughts?
