Many DSA are often more “the government should pay my tuition even if I just get smashed and do not even show up to class, government should pay for my Starbucks to help with my hang” over actual “revolution” or even socialism.
The DSA is largely just want a Nordic style welfare state, MINUS the social obligations it requires to work (tell the many DSA Sweden has conscription and their mind would be utterly blown).
Conscription has literally nothing to do with it.
"government should pay for my Starbucks", Jesus Christ, this is like some Fox News, Boomer type shit.
To be fair, a lot of DSA members who joined due to Bernie's campaign sending them there are hovering around the legal voting age and are pretty unqualified to talk about socialist theory. Many of them understand little regarding the topics they espouse.
This not the case for chapter and national leadership. But a lot of the ground solders of DSA are pretty naive. The YDSA in particular is super cringy.
