So anyway, there was this guy RL Stephens who came to Chicago and caused a bunch of problems in the local DSA chapter that took 2 years to fix. People have come forward accusing RL of rape and I believe them. For some reason THE Ben Norton joined DSA and defended RL.
I’m not going to subtweet about this. I’m gonna name names so no one else gets hurt or swindled.
I mean look at this. Is he a Spart? Why would anyone take this seriously?
We really should leave talking “around things” in 2019. I think the movement would be further ahead if we had better ways to kick out grifters and abusers.
Sorry to bring this up, I know it’s upsetting. Just wanted people to know the full context of Ben’s BS.
