The communist party has played a big role in San Francisco politics for a long time, so it comes as no surprise that people like Dean Preston and Chesa Boudin get actively involved in powerful roles. What exactly is in it for them? Like Richie Greenberg recently wrote, just how willing would these individuals be to give up everything they *own* if we became a communist state? I think there is something much deeper going on.
Most people don't get that the USSR and other prominent Communist countries always had their own elites who dressed in boring colors to look like the peasants, but they lived from very well to like kings. That's what Dean Preston and Chesa Boudin would do, because the little people always need to have someone looking out for them.

Great investigative reporting Erica. Keep it up.
The sad decline of the newspaper business.
The DSA has paid staffers? I’d be surprised.
Hey El Monstro -
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
I think we'd all be surprised IF we could see where the money flows.
