DSA is the Democratic Socialists of America, it’s a reformist socialist party. PSL is a Marxist-Leninist (technically Marcyist but the vast majority of members are ML) party with roots as a split from the IWW, and is thus more based on party building, revolution, and practices democratic centralism. The DSA gets a lot less done per member due to its lack of democratic centralism and big-tent methodology, but it isn’t the worst org in existence if there’s no other options.

The DSA is okay if there’s nothing else around you, but PSL has a much better party platform and is growing rapidly.

What’s the difference between them? I’ve never heard of PSL 'till now.
