There are Marxist-aligned caucuses in the DSA such as Red Star Caucus. Their overall strategy is to try to win over what is undeniably the biggest non-establishment political party towards Marxism-Leninism, a strategy similar to the Bolsheviks in the Russian Social Democratic Party. While the DSA overall has pretty lacklustre politics, there is a genuine case to be made for Marxists working within it to achieve Leftist aims.
What's lacklustre about DSA politics?
Numerous things, as a "big tent" party there are the big tent issues of a lack of cohesion, discipline, or a general agreement on approach or tactics. It's also incredibly reformist and not revolutionary, which means it's a dead end to begin with unless the revolutionary caucuses can change that.
