For about a century, many many similar groups have popped up only to later be revealed as a communist dictatorship psyop meant to create division ultimately leading to conservative leaders getting elected instead. After being revealed their funding dries up and they go limp, rinse and repeat. Example: CPUSA, despite being the oldest example was also recently active as they went from 5k members to 20k members after 2016, but have since lost half as it became clear they're soviet-style fascists. In 1993, expats from the library of congress participated in a sharing of historical documents with Moscow and revealed the group was even directly involved in infiltrating African American and sharecropper groups in an attempt to spread violent ideology. Similarly were the New Communist Movement of the 70s and 80s including the Maoist International Movement.

The entire basis for splintering the DNC party is the notion that the current DNC platform isn't progressive, which I think is just false.

But if it somehow wins elections, sure, let's do it.

DNC isn't being splintered. DSA is specifically running candidates in primaries, not generals.

Which is why I don't oppose the DSA, but there is a lot of dialogue trying to frame it as a big split or schism in the DNC.

So it's sketchy because of other organizations that don't function like it or are shaped like it?

Got it. Some paranoia can be good, but don't let it destroy you. Keep an eye out, but also trust is a two-way street.

It's sketchy because it results in shaming of the DNC, but it's not problematic yet because they might possibly help remove Republicans from power (yet to be seen). And their chosen moniker is one that has been applied to other much worse organizations in the past.
