Honestly its rude to be invited by a country to meet their president who decided to respond to your criticisms of their administration only to not show up and go meet the opposition.
Being invided and then no showing shows complete disregard to basic diplomatic Etiquette since it was a mission to show solidarity against the embargo

It’s not a party though. It’s a site of struggle and a place where communists can organize and educate among a very large membership of people open to left wing politics.

That’s not the case though. This article should serve as an example of that. Red Star was a small ML caucus in San Francisco a few years back.

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if the authors of this article were liberals when they first joined DSA.
