Hey ya’all, slowly adding chips to the Marxist Leninist pursuit side of my life and I want to do more than just fall down the infinite rabbithole of education or radicalize people on the internet. I want to join an org near where I live, North Carolina USA.
Both before I became a communist and even to this day I was considering the DSA. I get that in many ways they have been all vut enrirely co-opted into the Democrat’s left wing and even their origins speak volumes, however I believe infiltration is valuable and surely I could radicalize a few or perhaps even snag the chapter if my dice rolled well. I’ve also heard that it’s basically the easiest way to meet anybody who’s even remotely leftist in your area, and besides being great for radicalization I’d also like to establish contacts as there are militant fascists cults only miles away from us and collapse of America always seems to be looming over the horizon and, ya know, strength in numbers.
I’ve also considered the CPUSA. I’ve heard very little about them but opinions seem to be mixed. I was briefly a Trotskyist and joined the IMT, which went from awesome to wildly disappointing in a mere week, so I’m very wary of newspaper-selling-obsessed oldheads; I don’t know if my worry that CPUSA falls into that same genre is warranted or not.
I’ve thought about saying f it and starting my own organization as I believe I have some fresh ideas but as I stand in my life right now I am entirely isolated, swamped and clout-repellant so it seems wiser to slowly step into it and rub a few shoulders before I try and self-publish a 400 page manifesto.
But yeah, anyways, what do ya’all think? Any and all information is greatly appreciated.
PCUSA all the way. They are no-nonsense and unabashed communists.
They are pro USSR and put heavy emphasis on learning and being well read. Also, we have meetings with communists from other countries. I feel real working-class solidarity with the world in the PCUSA.
Sounds awesome! Will check out!
PCUSA as in Party of Communists USA, not CPUSA. They split from CPUSA due to them supporting reformism
Also in CPUSA and it’s much the same. I’m up in the far north east and we’re very much Pro AES, organizing, and teaching
Where did you find based CPUSA? I hear many of them are verging on liberal when it comes to AES
