DSA Statement on the Islamic State [View all]

http://www.dsausa.org/statement_islamic_state

In posting this, I must admit that I am a member of DSA and have my own set of partisan feelings involved. Nevertheless, having read this statement from the DSA National Political Committee I am rather proud of the stance DSA took over a year ago, specifically on Islamic State before it was commonly called ISIS. I find it interesting that the statement calls for some measures currently being considered to fight ISIS, and specifically addressing the refugee problem. I also like the way the statement observes that past U.S. policy has played a key role in making the situation what it is: dangerous.

However, I do know that other socialist organizations may have different ideas and approaches -- and most likely some departures from the ideas DSA puts forth on this statement. I am just wondering if there are any other members of socialist parties or groups whose organizations have taken clear stances on the matter, and if they could be discussed (in a comradely spirit).

I can't help but think that a socialist approach could have spared the world some of the current level of pain and suffering.
