ITT: People don't read the article and assume the DSA MAWG is running guns to Ukraine.

Tbh it is gross that Dem Left even published this but this is the exact line of a (minority) faction of the organization so it's not surprise that it gets some coverage.

It's someone suggesting that they fund efforts to do so, using the official DSA website.

In a future socialist world there should be no role for spheres of interest for large countries. However, in the capitalist world we live in, a viable settlement of this conflict would have to accept Russia’s right to have security guarantees in its neighborhood. A Ukraine settlement that includes neutrality for Ukraine along with U.S. and Russian guarantees of Ukraine’s independence and security could avert further bloodshed and bring some stability to the region.

The Left should continue to point out the role of U.S. imperialism in pushing a NATO expansion policy that was bound to lead to a costly and dangerous conflict, while also noting the responsibility of U.S. imperialism for its role in creating the retrograde oligarchic Putin regime that severely oppresses its own working class while also imposing a deadly war on working people in neighboring Ukraine.

They published this four days earlier. DemLeft doesn't speak for the organization and clearly isn't taking a position on the issue, they're just publishing op-eds.

The blatant refusal to understand and acknowledge the idea of factional political struggle in movements is one of the most disappointing aspects of this site.
