Maybe it's worth checking out again now
It sounds like it’s moving left, though it also sounds like this has only been possible due to a mass drop in membership following the failure of the Bernie campaigns. Marxist Unity Group seems like their worth checking out as an internal bloc to the DSA and where it could go
Funnily enough, the 3 he listed (Red Star, MUG, and Commie Caucus) are the 3 I'd most recommend people check out. Unless you have a strong preference for one of them I'd just join whichever is most active in your area.
I think the big difference is that Commie Caucus leans direct actionist while MUG leans more electoral.
Whatever the cause, it is opportunity to radicalized many people and take advantage of a local organizing apparatus (where applicable) to do good work for the community.
They have had a drop, but they're still massively above their 2015 numbers. This is just a natural lull where the opportunists and the less committed falll away.
Keep a foot in the door so you can jump in opportunistically. Unless you would die from embarrassment lol.
