This is a good nonsectarian analysis of US ML parties.

    I get that, but I also think the article has a point. Yes, they gave a wide generalization that psl falls into the traps they lay out based on a small situation five years ago, but their analysis of the communist movement as a whole as lacking is true. Please show me evidence that PSL is making progress, Im not certain there’s not, just give me evidence.

      This is a compilation of the PSLs national weekly newsletter for the second half of 2022. I thought these were all on Liberation News but the most recent ones seem to not be. If I find them I’ll post them here. But in terms of progress the most recent newsletter it included news of another branch upgrading their Liberation Center, which is what the party calls the community centers referenced in the article. Most branches have one, even a lot of the smaller cities. The PSL is the only org I’m aware of with such an extensive network. If you have any more specific questions let me know. A good example from earlier this year was the national response to the Tyre Nichols murder. The PSL national called for a nation wide mobilization and emergency actions were ready within days. In my city this drew massive media attention from the mainstream media. Also keep in mind, most stories of local struggle on Liberation News are struggles thf party is directly involved in.
