Yes, PSL is made of humans and humans in PSL have done bad things. It’s also true that a few PSL chapters have failed to manage themselves appropriately and local organizers have had meaningful problems because of that. These are not unique problems to PSL. I personally witnessed an organized character assassination of a black organized in my local DSA. I don’t think that makes DSA problematic. I think DSA is problematic because it has an ineffective theory of action.
