The idea that just because you've met someone that means you somehow know they wouldn't do something like this is the exact same attitude that leads to women not being believed about sexual assault
Tbh that reads like some factionalist bullshit. I don't want to really say anything about the SA allegations because I'm not informed at all about the situation but the language used in that article reads like the same bullshit insane narcissistic factionalists pulled in my local socialist org.
Just my personal experience, take it with how many grains of salt you want.
All the sources are linked at the bottom if you don't like how they're written about. For the first incident you can read the document that outlined the concerns that PSL members sent to PSL leadership here
I think it's important to take accusations seriously instead of dismissing them immediately because of a tone you don't like.
Fair enough, but also no org is going to be perfect, in my org some of the criticism the narcissists had very somewhat valid which doesn't at all detract from the fact that they were in general actually fucking insane. Like in the end I wish them well, they're not inherently horrible people they're just not right in the head, so I'd personally take these accounts with a grain of salt unless you personally know the people well.
I find that as we are, within these United States, a fringe ideology that exists outside of the status quo of established power - we'll attract the fringe members of this society that are cast out from the status quo as well.
Just gotta keep gnawing our way into larger society until we overthrow the boogies
My partner and I were members and there is a widespread coverup and dismissal of sexual assault. Sadly someone I used to call a friend was involved in covering it up on the west coast. I’m aware of 6 different incidents in 6 different chapters which is not great for an org of 2000 at best. The old guard needs to be purged if PSL is gonna be viable.

There's no way to disprove that I suppose.
All I know is I've read enough accounts from former PSL members to be skeptical of the org.
