How is it any different? Because they kill 20 million communists in Indonesia and Latam instead of inside their own borders?
Edit: The DSA aren't in power nationally and have yet to truly confront the contradictions of imperialism and the welfare state. In the best case scenario where they take power they will be forced to confront them.
The party will eventually have to choose between taking a revolutionary stance or choose reform and thereby wither in consent to capitalist imperialism. That will be decided by whether the socialists can win out over the social democrats.
Berniecrats tend to not understand imperialism or completely support it through ways they think is different than right wingers.
The difference between saying that putting kids in immigrant cages is bad but unilateral bombings in the middle east is good is superficial, from the point of view of the victim both are fascist actions.
There is no such thing as something that is "fascist" according to the point of view of the victim. Fascism is not an action, or a relation between humans, it's a movement, or a way to organize a state. Imperialism alone isn't fascism, it is meaningful to make distinctions because we have historical precedent and we have to know what precisely something is similar to to know how to treat it.
The Bernie libs are by far the best allies you can have right now in the US, including for anti imperialism. It is fascinating that a sub full of people who were Bernie libs 2 years ago or less is so intent on calling them fascists.

Why do you think it has to do with how many people someone killed and where?
