I have heard that they do more than many ML parties that just end up doing bureaucratic paperwork or selling out to liberal parties. Is that true?

    Seconding @DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml below.

    In the imperial core, we are not at the point in the class struggle where line struggle is the principal contradiction inhibiting the left. We are not facing down white terror and anarchist sailors are refusing to consolidate the revolution. We are not in the middle of people’s war with opportunistic union leadership inhibiting the urban struggle.

    We are in like the 1840s with the narodniks and the nihilists going on futile adventures in the countryside which nonetheless raise conciousness.

    IMO most of the people getting lost in these debates are people who are unwilling or unable to take substantative risks but who still need to feel like they are ‘useful’ to the revolution and get into terminally online sectarian squabbling as a surrogate for political work.
