The US/OAS is overseeing two coups right now, in Ecuador and Haiti, at the same time.

Unfortunately most of the US "left" is silent, yet alone trying to organize actions to meaningfully challenge imperialism.

The Professional Media Left is too busy still heroizing Pope Bernie
All most socialists around the world want of the US left is to organize to challenge imperialism, to at least try to stop the constant wars, coups, and regime-change ops run by their government.

But most of the US "left" doesn't even bother. If you do, they call you a "tankie"
Serious question: DSA constantly boasts of being the largest socialist org in the US. Cool. But what is it doing in moments like now, when the US is overseeing a coup in Ecuador to try to steal the election from a democratic socialist, and backing a neoliberal dictator in Haiti?
DSA's de facto media arm, Jacobin, supported the right-wing US-backed coup attempt in Nicaragua. It demonized Evo and Brazil's Workers' Party in the lead-up to US-backed coups there. Now on Ecuador and Haiti, what is it doing?

It's easy to be against US coups AFTER they happen
The NUMBER ONE responsibility of the US left is anti-imperialism. It's not just another issue in a list.

The US left must do everything it can to challenge and dismantle the empire and its war machine.

If it's not doing that it's useless. Or rather, it's useful to imperialists
