DTS’s principle complaints here are that the NYC PSL discouraged people from directly engaging with the police, and took that to be collaboration with the NYPD and stated that they will treat PSL as NYPD collaborators and enemies of the people going forward.
DTS doesn’t seem to have any clear goals themselves, though. They don’t appear to be a revolutionary party, they denounce mutual aid, tenant and labor organizing, and call those that “pass around boring literature” unserious. It seems more to me that they are more adventurist in nature, and as such are attacking PSL for not being so quick to directly engage with the police.
Above all, DTS reminds me more of the SRs and PSL more the early bolsheviks. PSL isn’t a vanguard party yet, and DTS is well behind PSL in terms of organization. There are genuine risks to above the ground combat with the police right now that I wouldn’t say is worthy of wholly condemning PSL and treating them as an enemy.
