"Today, the leadership of DSA banned a discussion on building a working
class political party. As explained in this video, I was to make a
presentation to the delegates to the upcoming national convention on this
issue, but just before that subject came up I was bounced off the video
conference call. I’m being told it was because I “left” it but that is
untrue."

(What a lying bastard this kid is. I had never met him before August 21, 
2015 when he approached me after Patrick Bond's talk on Rosa Luxemburg's 
"The Accumulation of Capital" talk in the Verso office in Brooklyn. He 
told me that he agreed completely with my analysis of Syria and Ukraine. 
He also mentioned that he was about to start a new job at Salon. I told 
him good luck. So if he had started to "rethink" things as early as 
2014, why would he have come up to spend 10 minutes badmouthing exactly 
what he had already become? Besides killing and displacing Syrians, the 
war has had a toll on leftist journalists. Norton is as slippery as an 
eel coated in vaseline and will likely end up like David Horowitz. 
That's what happens when you begin to write articles relying on the 
Saudi media for "the truth".)



I admit I was wrong, and it was gradually from 2014 into 2015 that I 
began to see that. When Syria’s al-Qaeda affiliate Jabhat al-Nusra was 
openly leading the opposition, and yet Cliffites continued to support it 
(with Trotskyite writers like Louis Proyect and Michael Karadjis 
cheering on al-Nusra’s offensives), I was hit with the realization that 
I had been fooling myself.


Max Blumenthal and Rania Khalek came to similar realizations on a 
similar timeline. The three of us are close friends and colleagues who 
talk frequently. We discussed the issue at length; our views evolved 
together organically.

Now I remember. He is toxic.

Still, there is a generalized problem of Islamophobia as evidenced by 
Trump's election, the crackdown on refugees, the general apathy from the 
left about Mosul and Raqqa, etc.

This guy is a piece of shit.

Spencer Sunshine spends almost all of his time using his "expertise" to
condemn what he calls "Left Anti-Semitism" and creeping Nazi infiltration.
According to Spencer Sunshine, virtually all of our organizing for
Palestine is anti-Semitic; referring to Israel as a "Zionist" regime is
anti-Semitic; condemning the Israel Lobby is anti-Semitic; rejecting
Israel's "right to exist" is anti-Semitic; suggesting that Israel has a
broader role and agenda throughout the Middle East is anti-Semitic; and so
forth. He says so in this ridiculous talk that he gave some years ago:
https://soundcloud.com/rosecityantifa2/spencer-sunshine-left-1

Spencer has also alleged that Ajamu Baraka, the Green Party VP candidate
was a purveyor of anti-Semitism, that rejections of his racist logic are
anti-Semitic, that writing off criticisms from Zionists is "anti-Semitic,"
and so on. After listening to him speak, it is difficult to see what
opposition to Israel *wouldn't *count as anti-Semitism.

Moreover, the talk is sponsored by Spencer's friends at Political Research
Associates, which, despite portraying itself as some kind of left-wing
anti-racist group, issues lengthy reports on "campus anti-Semitism
"
and spreads pro-Israel propaganda. One of the things they've promoted is this
pamphlet
,
suggesting that anti-Semitism is everywhere and that for that reason, we
have to avoid making strong criticisms of Zionism, including the claim that
Zionism is racism.

You'll also notice that when discussing right-wing movements he explicitly
adds the qualifier "right-wing" to Zionism (as though that isn't at all
redundant) in order to salvage some forms of Zionism (like those he is an
apologist for).

He also has no real relationship to the Muslim community about which he
writes. Plenty of better sources to provide more useful commentary, I would
avoid signal boosting this person.
