Forget Ukraine, how about starting with getting every DSA chapter to actually BE dedicated anti-zionists, instead of the suspiciously silent chapters or the Johnny-come-late bandwagonists who still talk out the side of their mouths about “Arabs in Michigan”
Some chapters have education courses, but that’s precisely the problem; it’s not centralized, it’s not standardized, it’s not enforced. Some chapters are well-oiled machines that would make Lenin proud, and then others are personality cults bizarrely centered around one dude who just happens to know the ins and outs of canvassing. Then there are the liberal chapters that straight-up just need to be purged, tho I admit they’re not as widespread as the cynics assume; they’re just annoyingly located at strategic locations
It’s like setting up a party based around roulettes, LIB, BASED, LIB, BASED, only the gods decide where the ball lands

This is why the PSL makes you take an entire education course before you can become a full member
