From what I’ve seen they mostly just educate people on capitalism and how socialism is much better, obviously, this is good. Anti-China rhetoric in Socialist circles is just such a shame sometimes, I really feel like one of the most important duties of a modern Marxist is supporting China
I have to second what @SovereignState said, but kinda think about how tenable it would be for you to constantly have to be in guard mode, if that makes sense. As they said, you’ll probably be bombarded with the standard trot nonsense, so constantly having to be on the lookout for things like that might be very stressful, and could result in unnecessary conflict between yourself and members. If you were to get into their circles, I’d stay on the edge as much as possible. Meaning, maintain some distance between yourself and party actions you might disagree with.
Or hell, maybe disclose that you’re an ML just for fun. Worst case scenario, they just say you’re not welcome. Best case scenario, they point you in the direction of a more suitable org.
