DSA is pretty diverse, but their foreign policy caucus (idk what it's called) had a talk with Nicaraguan "socialists" fighting against the tyranny of the Sandinistas, and educating people on how they needed to stand with them. I believe this was the same year there was a wave of right wing terrorist attacks in Nicaragua, and may have been the same people. So there are feds in DSA for sure.
I always suspected the DSA leadership's foreign policy was kind of dogshit, they wouldn't have backed Sanders so damn hard if they took a closer look at his ties to the MIC in Vermont. Such an absolute betrayal of internationalism, not ironically the same sort of betrayal that ruptured the 2nd International.
The MIC has factories and a labor force in every congressional district and state in the US. It's one of the biggest reasons it's so difficult to go against it- any elected politician doing so risks hurting the jobs of their own constituents.
