There’s the DSA national political committee (NPC) which is your typical soc-dem electoralists, then there’s the rest of the DSA which are as radical as you’d want the DSA to be. The International Committee is cool and good and gets called trots by the NPC.

the NPC is complicated but actually IC is appointed by NPC and this kind of stuff goes through them, so its all part of the national political stance of the org actually

The NPC can only appoint people that volunteer though. And given the low number of people who ran for NPC compared to the number of seats, I’d suspect whoever showed up for the IC committee got it. That doesn’t mean the IC and NPC don’t share beliefs, just that they don’t have to. But if the NPC’s suspension of the BDS working group leaders is an indicator of their beliefs, then I find it hard to believe they have the same internationalist bent that the IC has.

The current IC leadership is very good but there was definitely others that didnt get the spots for sure. There was a huge change up basically in 2020 from the previous old 3rd campist trots cause that NPC was more favorable to the current IC’s politics (but then some NPC resigned etc and things changed a bit). There will be new leadership appointments soon tho so guess well see, and theres new NPC appointments that might change dynamics too (tho NPC did reverse the decision on BDSWG at least). But still the NPC is pretty favorable to the IC now cause its the largest and most active committee in DSA nationally and does lots of good work. If they didnt approve they would just stop all the stuff IC does and not let it run the show basically on foreign affairs anymore.
