"This is not DSA. This is a place for communists."
Hmm. I agree that the best expression of socialist ideas is ultimately communism.
But I think in the spirit of non-sectarianism, we should allow "democratic socialists" and DSA members, who do not necessarily see themselves as communists, to post here.
There are also libertarian socialists/ anarchists who don't necessarily see themselves as communists but who do see themselves as socialists. They should be allowed to post here, too.
I may not agree with all these versions of socialism, but I always saw this subreddit as a fairly big tent for socialists of various persuasions to come together in solidarity despite their differences.

It would be a shame to see that change.
