The PLP had more FBI agents at attendence of their meetings than actual members.

Most of these little groups number no more than several hundred. Unfortuantly many of them started getting involved in Democrat Party politics in 1988, led by those enabling clowns from DSA (Democratic Socialists of America).

I was there for that. Now the cat is out of the bag, folks.

When people complain about the radical trend within that party, well, it all started with the Jackson campaign and the decision of several Marxist-Leninist groups to glom on. Several became delegates to the Atlanta convention.

Now, some of y'all know that when one becomes a delegate to a major party convention, it opens some career doors.

Draw you own conclusions. I figured things out while being involved in a group that refused to along with the others.

Exposed: Pelosi's Socialist Ties

Pelosi leader of 'Progressive Caucus'

From those links, these excerpts ...

"DSA/USA, the 'Democratic Socialists of America' are the U.S. arm of the Socialist International. They share the symbol of the fist holding the rose, and they share the tasks to be accomplished — in our case, an altogether different America ...

"Some time ago — the date is missing from the descriptions — 58 members of the U.S. House of Representatives formed a subdivision of the Democratic Socialists of America and called it the Progressive Caucus. Their statement of purpose, as well as their membership list, formed an integral part of the dsausa Web site (www.dsausa.org ). The membership list appeared on the screen with the continuous background of the fist holding the rose, should anyone have missed the connection with the Socialist International."

Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., the likely [she is now] new minority leader in the House of Representatives, serves on the executive committee of the socialist-leaning Progressive Caucus, a bloc of about 60 votes or nearly 30 percent of the minority vote in the lower chamber.

The Democratic Socialists of America's chief organizing goal is to work within the Democratic Party and remove the stigma attached to "socialism" in the eyes of most Americans.

"Stress our Democratic Party strategy and electoral work," explains an organizing document of the DSA. "The Democratic Party is something the public understands, and association with it takes the edge off. Stressing our Democratic Party work will establish some distance from the radical subculture and help integrate you to the milieu of the young liberals."
