This guide was made by comrades over at USU and is a work in progress. Any dedicated and motivated comrade can individually or with a handful of local comrades use...

Seeing the conversations around this topic in the post Most Western Parties Are Ossified and Failures I thought some folks might find value in this organizing guide created by USU. It draws from numerous articles they’ve written about organizing ML orgs from the ground up.

    Firstly you are conflating union action with Socialist parties, and much of these things you’ve mentioned only came to pass because during the cold war, the Capitalists felt the need to hand out concessions regardless because of the presence of the Eastern Bloc as an alternative economic model. As soon as the Soviet union fell, almost every single thing you’ve mentioned has been gutted in the west. Goes to show how effective the socialists were in the west when all their success could have been rolled back the moment the external competition was eliminated. Compare this to AES, like Cuba, China etc. and you can see what the difference is between actual success in a socialist movement, and what’s been done in 100 years in the west.

              There have been multiple uprisings in the West, meanwhile, such as the George Floyd uprisings and the ensuing labor revolts too.

              The West is the belly of the beast. So of course, there wouldn’t readily be an AES state.
